Initial placements on a new account

Hey,

My new account is almost 25 and I might do placements somewhat soon. Anything I need to know about first ever calibration on a fresh account? I know I’m probably going to be placed plat (where I belong), but maybe you guys know something I don’t know. Share your experience!

Yeah, thanks, I’ve read your speculations already.
But since you’re here anyway, care to elaborate the formula?

Specifically, the “game” variable. What is it? Number of the game being played in order? -1 or 1 depending on the game result? Anything else?

I have been hard stuck in silver on this account the past couple of seasons.

Did placements on two other accounts and hit plat. I am still only playing this account because it has all the skins from winter wonderland forward so far.

I guess this doesn’t help you but that has been my experience so far with alt accounts.

Game number, starting from 1, which is the first placements match. Leave as is for a win. Multiply the entire result by -1 for a loss.
