Hello, I recently got my 10 games in flex que done, I got rank silver 5 after winning half my games Not a big deal since I was gold 5 last season. So I started the climb back up and after many games finally got to silver 4. However I noticed there was a patch today to correct the mmr or some players which required them to play another game. I did so playing this 11th qualifying match, only to find that I got placed back in silver 5. After already getting promoted to silver 4. What kind of crap is this?

It's getting reset again anyway if you'd bother to read the season 7 info.

Because of the MMR mismatch in Flex Queue, you got reset to the original starting point (pre placements). But remember this is only Preseason, the rank you accomplish now WILL BE RESET AGAIN! The rank you get in preseason does only influnece the placement in Season 7 to a SMALL extend! (only your starting point in season 7 is affected by Preseason ranks) 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!
