Placements bugged?

I'm confused! I figured a soft reset like ive gotten the past two season, but after these last placements i'm quite depressed. Been platinum for 2 years straight. Ended season 4 at plat ii. Ended season 5 at platinum iv. Last season i got a 6-4 W/ for placements and was placed in plat ii. This year i get the same W/L and i get sent to gold iv? I have platinum MMR getting placed vs platinum's. Is the placements all bugged? I could see if i was queued vs GOLDS, but platinum mmr now placed in gold makes absolutely no sense to me. So now im forced to play at platinum mmr and hope i can grind from gold iv? This has to be a joke right?

What's worse I have two friends who have been platinum like me for two years who main / play one champion. Who BOTH got a 6-4 W/L this year which is the same record i have but both were placed in plat 2!! I don't understand...

I was only bronze 5 like a noob i was stuck in hell, anyways I have gotten better and in my placements I went 5W 5L, and I got stuck back in Bronze 5... If there isn't something wrong with placements and how they calculate it all then i might as well just not play league, I tried so hard for those 5 wins and did really well for nothing.

its under Seeding.

"As with previous years because of the soft reset, you’ll likely place lower than where you ended last year."

Thank you for the link good sir, much appreciated. But still annoying the amount of grind I have ahead of me and many other players... I don't even

Dude im on board. Dont get me wrong, I think the grind is annoying, but Im not a great player myself. I was silver 4 in 2014 and was silver 5 in 2015... Looks like im moving down to bronze 1 this year. I havent placed yet.

I suppose I have not [insert 5 points below mastered] league in any sense.

I went from plat 5 to silver 4 going 3-7 (although i realize this is trash, i would like to throw in a "but my team" and maybe a "too heavy" so i don't feel so bad. Truth is i had top dmg/usually the only frontliner, and didnt feed (kda was around 4.5-5). Last season i climbed from bronze 2 to plat 5 and now looks I'm doing the same zzzz item 3073
