Here is are my ten placement matches in order. Now before anyone complains about how the system works and it is bound to have flaws, trust me, I know.
I won 6 out of 10 matches with decent (With decent stats I might add) and was thrown to bronze 5.
I REFUSE....REFUSE!!...To believe this not a bug of some sort. Last season I won 3 of 10 and got bronze two. I know, this season is different, I read the updates for this season. Someone please explain this too me.

I understand. With this logic, if I had won all ten games I most likely would have been placed maybe bronze one. I was bronze three before this. It is possible to jump from bronze to silver during promotion matches depending how good you do. (Normal 3 matches at 100 points.) Whats the point of having 10 placement matches and doing decent and getting a worse league than I did originally. They might as well have left it like last season. If it depends on your last seasons division then why have placement matches AT all?
disregardable1 votesThey seem to have wanted to lower everyone's division a little bit to create a bit of drive to rise to the top. After all, if you just go from Siler IV to Silver IV, how is it different from last season?

It completely killed my drive. How is lowering someone upping your drive? Put me where I was and I'd have the same drive. I wanted to improve. I don't even want to play now. I've never been in Bronze 2 since I started playing Ranked.
This is anything but creating a bit of drive, it is lowering motivation and causing frustration.

disregardable1 votesBelieve me, it's Bronze 5. You don't exactly need to be doubelift to carry in it.
Xonra1 votesThe system is rigged to lower you literally regardless if you even go 10-0. I went 7-3 and was dropped from Silver 100lp to Bronze 2
