Season placements

Can we discuss how I can go through so many hard won games during placements and climb up two ranks during the off-season only to be placed an entire division lower after placements? It's a little frustrating because I'm right back to where I got placed when I started ranked about half a year ago. How does this system work because I would think that climbing up so far would have some weight into getting placed in a similar rank after the 10 matches.

There was a really detailed thread about rankings a few days ago. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/E9nkYATc-psa-regarding-ranked-placement-and-seedings-for-all-who-are-confused

the thing from my understanding is there were numerous gold players who looked like they got carried there, and or elo boosted and were winnign games just enough to not get demoted. this is primarily the reason as to the why placements are the way they are.
