"You will need to play one more placement game to determine your new ranking" :(

So I originally went 8-2 in my first round of placement matches and got placed into Silver IV, which I was great with. I ended in high Bronze last season and was surprised to have been placed higher, but I had felt like I played really well and 8-2 is an awesome win rate. But then Riot implements a supposed "fix" and asks me to play one more game. I lose said game, and immediately get booted down to Bronze V. This feels awful. I'm even willing to consider that Bronze V is where I "deserve" to start my climb; it's where I started in season 6. But to be told that I was able to place directly into silver and avoid that awful Bronze grind I spent all year in, only to have it ripped away, sucks a lot. I feel like riot has been completely disingenuous and a different solution could have been implemented. I'm the last of my friends still playing League, and this is probably the last straw for me too. It's been fun, but I'm done giving this company my money.

So whats your solution for me (diamond 5) being placed in silver 4. What about a friend of mine (d2) getting placed bronze 1. Or another friend in masters getting silver1.

Can you explain to me your solution? because the games this season would be based on luck, and I guarentee if you got placed in a game like this: http://i.imgur.com/0RmTkT1.png

You would be complaining more than you are right now.

So in otherwords, cater to the 1% of players in diamond because they got placed incorrectly, and mess with your majority player base. Sounds like a horrible idea, but I suppose this is Riot and they tend to make mistakes every step of the way.

If the 1% of players in diamond+ are NOT in the top 1%, they will likely make it back up there again. and anyone in the way of them will get completely fucked. Games will be made based on the shit mmr system, so like I had JUST stated, games will be based on luck and the entire season would be fucked for EVERYONE, not just the diamond players.

thing is if those top players are put into silver and gold then those are the people they are facing in their games. that's not fair to bronze,silver, and gold players that are against these plats and diamonds who are making it harder to climb
