The five-game window at the start of every season decides a third of your climb. Here is what to do — and what to avoid — for each of those games.
Placement games are the single most important block of matches in any ranked season. Your win-rate inside them gets weighted ~3x compared to a regular ranked game. Treat them as a focused event, not as a casual warm-up.
Pre-placement checklist
Get a 90-minute warm-up window before your first placement. Run aim trainers, replay one of last seasons VODs, and pick a single role you will commit to across all five games. Role flexing during placements wrecks your MMR delta.
Tilt management
If you lose two placements back-to-back, stop. The remaining three games carry MMR penalties that are very hard to recover from inside the placement window. Take a 24-hour reset and come back the next day fresh — your placement rank will thank you.
