Placements are dumb.

Prior Gold rank Placements: Solo/duo: Silver 3 (I won 6/10 this is fair, against Silver-Plat ranks) Flex 5v5: Bronze 3 (I won 8/10 matched against Gold-Plat ranks) Flex 3v3: Bronze 1 (I won 6/10 Matched against Plat-Diamond ranks) So since I won many games against ranks much higher than my prior rank you still place me lower than silver when I was gold? How is this even fair? I'm still being Matched against Gold-Plat even in Bronze. If you place someone in bronze why match them with players in Gold-Plat... Match me with bronze since you decided to place me there. It's a little hard to carry a team when there are bronze on my team and gold+ on the other...

i got plat 1 in flex on both accounts that were ranked diamond +

i think it has something to do with that tbh.

i solo queued on both flex queues and went 7-3 on one and 8-2 on the other.

both plat 1 at the end.

pretty sure it takes a lot of things into consideration

100% agree. A. I wonder if you got bronze because you were placed Silver in solo/duo. Or were you Silver on flex/3v3 last season. It always seem 1 tier lower than your last one. It just means you wasted 10 games for nothing.

B. I recently saw a former Plat support vs my all bronze/low silver team. The rest of his team was bronze/silver. He as support had the first 3 kills, in the end he had 3/4 kills before they lost (I gave up a kill by stupid). How is that even fair for him. You expect him to carry when every single lane lost. Yea he shouldn't be queueing support anymore if he wants to climb because the game is placing him with people who need to be carried.

C. It makes no sense (other than availability of players) that me BRONZE 2 always lane vs silver 1 or higher. I get sometimes friends queue together so sometimes there might be a strange high rank. But consistently vs higher ranks... wtf I should just be moved into Silver if that is the case.
