Although im not a supporter of S3 ELO depending on S2, it doesn't suck that much nor isn't that unfair.

I remember riot saying your starting ELO after the 10 first games actually depends on S2 ELO, but in those 10 games you are queued mostly with random people who still have to complete the 10 games.

So S2 is not really determining a lot in your S3 ELO, even if your initial ELO would be... say 100, 200, even 300 higher if you dont take into account S2, at that point you win 40-50 ELO per game, so it won't take more than 10-15 games to get to your real position if you really deserve it (and a 200 ELO interval is not really that high to make a difference in losing a lot of those early lot-of-ELO-winning games cause of trolls or bad players)
