Flex queue: one extra game NOT enough

So after getting completely screwed by flex queue placements, riot has admitted the match making was imbalanced and given a fix and ONE extra game to decide placement.

Simply put, one extra game is NOT enough.

The match making was so incredibly broken that players should have the option of completely replaying their placements.

Playing my placements, I had bronze and silvers landing against enemy plats and diamonds. I kept playing saying to myself well eventually I'll get the high elo mismatch and it will all even out. I did and every time it was a high elo support. That's not winning any games, sorry riot. This doesn't even include the troll teammates who decided all the preseason games don't matter and whipped out things like Trundle mid (who humorously complained all game about our teams lack of AP).

Still went 5/5 over my promos and got placed 7 divisions lower than I ended last season. I know people who have never been in bronze who went from mid gold to mid bronze which is even worse.

tl;dr. The screw up in match making in flex was so severe that a single additional placement will not be able to fix the damage. Therefore people placed prior to the fix should have the option of replaying all of their placements games.

Played against diamond/plats (im gold 5 Solo/duo) in provisionals. Got placed in sliver 4, climbed to silver 3. Logged on today and saw a "fix" play one more game for replacement. Won the game 10/5/7 and got placed in bronze 1...... GJ RITO best fix NA

It doesn't matter if you win or lose it. You'll get demoted either way.
