Ranked Placements. Iron 1 after winning 8/8 or 100% of my placement matches.

I'm having a hard time finding anything online about what exactly is going on with the new placement system. I noticed I only have 8 placement matches as opposed to 10.

I own 8 out of 8 matches, only to get a sad sink in the stomach of gaining Iron 1. Is this a joke? Please someone, tell me there is more to this rabbit hole that I am missing. Any information on this topic is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Maxwell

Sounds like you're going to stomp hard in Iron and easily climb.

Tip: Get good with a skirmisher of your choice, and you'll be gold in no time.

If this is your first season playing ranked, then it seems like Riot has developed an algorithm to place people in Iron. (could be wrong)

If it's your first time in ranked then yeah of course you'll be placed low lol

Its a bug. I got silver 1 in a new account and iron 4 in an older previously gold 3 account. I wrote to the support and they promoted me to silver 2. It seems like its some kind of a luck effect.
