Win game lose tier?

7-3 in placements, got Gold 5. Then today it said need one more game to place me. Little did i know, this is a trap. I won my extra game and place at silver 4. Then i heard from a friend that his friend was bronze 2 and now plat 3? My friend got worse treatment than i do, he placed in silver 5, play all the way to silver 2, guess what, he is back to silver 5 baby.

I read alot of discussions how people won the extra placement and actually drop tiers, from plat to gold, or gold to bronze.

Is the rank broken? or worse?

Original placements were completely screwed and people were being place nowhere near their appropriate rankings (i.e. Diamond players being placed in Bronze, Silver players getting matched with Diamonds, etc).

Considering you ended S6 in Silver and your ranking generally lowers during resets (as Riot explicitly warned people of), Silver 4 is an appropriate ranking for after your placements.

The Gold 5 placement was just an error of the system which has now been corrected.

How was that appropriate? how did some people placed in bronze and then after that extra game goes to plat? How did alot of people experiencing this? If the ranking system truly fixed then everyone would drop division and even tiers, why do some players experience ranking up?
