I got placed in ranked flex silver 5, I then continued to play flex a few days later after maintenance. I queued up with a buddy of mine, We won and it proceeded to say, You have been Placed at Bronze 5. Is this a glitch? I have no clue what happened.
Hyperiön1 votesNo, they said there was 1 more additional placement like a day ago. Don't you read the notifications at the top of the screen?

JoshProfi1 votes10-4 thank you, Time to carry toxicity
Ireliavence1 votesbut i got bronze 1? im going to wood 1?
JoshProfi1 votesYes :(
Lord Desert1 votesBecause of the MMR mismatch in Flex Queue, you got reseted to the original starting point(pre placements). But remember this is only Preseason, the rank you accomplish now **WILL BE RESETED AGAIN! ** The rank you get in preseason does only influnece the placement in Season 7 to a SMALL extend! Sidenote: 1-2 Tier drops are completely normal in preseason.
I.E.: You were Plat 5 at the end of the season, were placed high Silver after placements, now got placed low Silver. If you now climb to Plat again, you will then only be placed in low Gold at the start of Season 7!
So dont worry to much about the current placement!
JoshProfi1 votesThank you! <3
Lord Desert1 votesif it helped to understand whats going on, then im happy to help :D It still sucks, but atleast now the balancing should be fine :/
JoshProfi1 votesHey no worries. I'll get out eventually, as long as people stop giving up after 1 gank ;)
Lord Desert1 votes:P
IPinPC1 votesRIOT going to erase MMR or Leagues once season 7 starts ? That's a big difference.
Lord Desert1 votesNo, they dont erase MMR completly but you get a soft reset meaning that everybody gets placed between bronze 5 and plat 1, that means drops of 1 or 2 hole tiers! is not that uncommon. Preaseon ranks only affect the starting position of season 7. But you normaly "prove" in your 10 placement matches that you deserve a better rank then the rank the softreset gave you. (in 99% you get a better rank then the one the soft reset gave you).

Lord Desert1 votesreseted is not the past form of reset? Didnt know that thanks :D But i sounded a bit wierd to be honest xD
Slothsausages1 votesExtend should also be extent, though that may be a typo. Assuming English isn't your first language.
Though you are correct in your reasoning of your post the reason they got dropped to low Bronze is because they ended the season in low Bronze.
YIKERS MIKERS1 votesWhat about me my 1 additional game for placments was a remake and it counted as a broze level loss and dropped me from g3 to silver 3 then my next game dropped me to silver4....
Jihadi Ghandi1 votesLol, so, I'm a platinum player. 7-3 in placements and was given gold 5. Won the next game, "Congratulations, your placement is Silver 1,"? Lol WE GOING DA WRONNG WAY
Jhins Left Nut1 votesI won 7 of my 10 games, got placed in silver 4. Was kind of annoyed but whatever. Then I played another a day later and it demoted me to bronze 5 even though I won and did exceptionally good in the match. Like i'm at a loss of words on how to react to this.
Slothsausages1 votesBeing placed in Silver 4 for you and you were annoyed... lol moving up one rank from the end of the season from just your placements would be amazing. You ended last season Silver 5, it is expected for you to drop to Bronze but maybe not to Bronze 5 if you went 7-3 but it is still more likely then moving up a rank from your placements.
Sukishoo1 votesThis is normal.
Official MILF1 votesSame exact thing here. I did well in placements, won 8/10. Got Silver 3, then after the reset/maintenance I played my 1 match to resume rank, won it and did very well. Then got Demoted to Bronze 5 0LP. That doesn't make sense! Way to discourage even before the season starts. =\
Slothsausages1 votesRead my reply above to the OP, the same goes for you because you ended last season Bronze 3.
Slothsausages1 votesIt is because of the fix to the Flex placements... Flex was placing people way too high as it goes off of your rank that you ended with last season. You ended in Bronze 5 and after your placements was placed in Silver 5. Unless you went 10-0 or got very lucky with the matchmaking moving up a whole tier is far fetched. The fix just simply corrected you to the proper ranking. I was Gold 4 and now in Flex am Silver 3 after going 6-4 in the placements, you usually drop down a tier not move up one.
