Hey guys. I was Silver last Season and had a 8--2 record in my seeding games. so they went pretty well. i was quite suprised that i got seeded in b3. is that because i had a negative record in season 5?

Nah, the system (as I've heard) is apparently pretty harsh this season. A lot of people are getting placed lower than they expected :P So imo it's not you :)

The system works by placing you in a slightly lower MMR than where you were. If you are as good as you were last season, you should have no issues climbing back up.

If you had a losing record and a reasonable amount of games played your mmr was probably lower than your Ranking. The new season soft reset takes your mmr(notrank) adds 1200(Silver4mmr) then divides by 2 to get the average. This is your starting mmr for your placements. Then placements adjusts this mmr slightly game by game. After the 10 games riot then places you a division below your mmr as a safety buffer making it so you climb quicker if you win but don't fall quickly if you lose your first couple games.
