Where Will I Place? Matchmaking so fucked

At work now so I can't do my last placement game until late tonight. Currently 7-2 in placements so I'd want to think I'll place high, but my opponents aren't that high :/ Will the MMR of my opponents screw me despite having a strong placement record? Fresh account and no prior season games

Placements

  • Game 1: Win - 3x Unr vs Unr, S3 & me

  • Game 2: Loss - S2, S1, S3 vs Unr, S3 & me. They were gold & plat solo but mid silver in 3s while I had silver & bronze solo allies. Total stomp for them

  • Game 3: Win - 3x Unr vs G5, G5, & me. They were all bronze solo but unranked 3s :/ Total stomp for us

  • Game 4: Win - 3x Unr vs S5, S2 & me

  • Game 5: Loss - S3, S4, G5 vs G3, S3 & me

  • Game 6: Win - S2, S5, D5?! vs S1, S3 & me. No fucking idea how a D5 (he was Solo S2) was in this game by himself or how he even got to D5 in 3v3 but cant get into gold in Solo.

  • Game 7: Win - S2, S3, S3 vs S3, P5 & me. Flipped this time, no fucking idea how a P5 (G4, sub 50% winrate in solo) is in a silver game for 3s by himself

  • Game 8: Win - Unr, S3, S4 vs Unr, S1 & me

  • Game 9 Win - S2, Unr, S2 vs P5, G2 & me. Opponents were gold-plat in solo. My allies were an entire division lower than their 3s rank in solo.

At total loss here with the matchmaking. Despite winning a lot my opponents havent gone up in ranking to test me more. Everything looks to be mid silver level for games looking purely at their 3v3 ranks

Last game especially I'd have to have like a bronze level MMR to have a plat and gold on the team to even out vs silvers but by that time I have a 6-2 placement record so I shouldnt be that low

I went 7-3 this season, got placed Gold 4 which is higher then where I previously ended. So, regardless of having a previous record or not I think the MMR system is really screwy.

Game 6: Win - S2, S5, D5?! vs S1, S3 & me. No fucking idea how a D5 (he was Solo S2) was in this game by himself or how he even got to D5 in 3v3 but cant get into gold in Solo.

3s is a totally different playing field from Solo. Someone can get Challeneger there and be Bronze back in Solo cause they are two different places, with tons of different objectives, the way fights go is different, the top champion picks is way different, ect.
