So i had a rough start in the new ranked flex going 2/2 but then went on a 6 game win streak and ended with an 8/2 record. I was so excited to do well in the placements and thought i was finally going to get ranked decent this season. Last year i was 6/4 or something like that and got B4. I would like to know why i got placed so low when i did so well. Any help is appreciated.

SGT Dingle Berry1 votesWhat was your ending rank last season? Also don't be discouraged as this is an issue thousands of people seem to be facing, just remember you'll have to do placements again soon for both flex and soloQ.

1wolfpack1 votesyeah its all BS bro, I finished gold last season, went 7/3 and got Silver 3, then had to play 1 more game and was sent to Bronze 1...your not alone
ShinkoMinori1 votesHe was bronze 3 last season tho.
1wolfpack1 votesif thats the case he should be thrilled he wasn't thrown into B5.
BladeSteel1 votesBut he was....
1wolfpack1 votesAh, my mistake.
intra1 votesRanked works in a way that it doesn't just take whether or not you won, but it also takes kill participation, creep score, objective participation, and more end-game statistics that you see when you press "Statistics" after every game. Another explanation is that the game didn't see that you improved (which isn't quite a bad thing; I was stuck in Bronze for 2 years.) and took your last year's rank (which was B4) and placed you as necessary.
Either that or the seeding bug that automatically places you in Bronze V is still active.
ShinkoMinori1 votesYou can't escape the bronze.
Swiftstrike41 votesWin losses do not mean too much at the moment in your placement games for flex queue. I wouldn't even worry about doing placements since you will have to do them again in a few weeks.
If you were Bronze in previous seasons it takes that into account - but with the hard reset I am not sure how much it is weighted.
You are usually placed lower than your rank int he previous season anyways.
You have been Bronze 3 for several season...so you probably are place appropriately.
VvVVvV1 votesWell, i know how they rank people and all. But for this flex ranked. They completely dropped the ball. And they know they did which is why they did their reset the other day as a "fix." But as usual their fix made it worse.
I finished last season Silver 5. And like many other silver and bronze players i was forced to play my 10 placement games against plat and diamond players.
After my 10 placement games I was placed in Silver 2...and 2 days later i made to and won my promos and moved up to Silver 1.
The next day I went to play my 1st game and it ended up being a remake because our support never connected. Keep in mind remakes are not supposed to count right?
Well soon as i got back to main screen I got a pop up saying that due to the results of my placement game i was placed in Bronze 5 0 LP. ROCK BOTTOM.
I sent a support ticket in asking what happened and I was told that because Riot knew the matchmaking system was incorrect (Go figure...bronze and silvers vs plat and diamonds) they decided to roll everyones flex MMR to what their Season 6 MMR was and give them a ONE GAME DO OR DIE placement game.
So my 1 game do or die placement game ended up being a remake and the system gave me a loss and put me from Silver 1 to Bronze 5.
How can their fix be a 1 game do or die? Why not just roll back the MMR and let everyone play all 10 placement games over against who they should be playing them against? How could no one on their staff think of that?

That stinks, buddy. I am sorry to hear that. I will say though that the placement games will again reset when the new season starts (at least they should).
How they went about the placement games was probably due to a rush to get the matchmaking out before preseason ends (which is only a few weeks though last year's preseason went on for 2 and half months).
I am surprised so many people bothered doing placement matches during preseason and even in flex queue.
I think the player base will mostly view the solo/duo queue rank to size you up as a player and they won't really be looking at your flex queue rank.
I do think if you are a silver player you should be able to climb out of Bronze anyways, but it may be hard.
Randomonium1 votesWhen the ranked reset starts the highest a person can be placed is Platinum. That means that all the Diamond, Master and Challenger players get thrown into Platinum at the beginning of the season. This causes plat players to be thrown into Silver and Gold, Gold players to be thrown into Bronze and Silver, and pretty much all Bronze and Silver players wind up in Bronze. Everyone drops, usually at least a full rank (i.e. Gold 1 to Silver 1 minimum.)
You finished Bronze 3. Even if you went 10-0 you probably would have been placed in Bronze 5 because everyone usually drops a full rank (if there was a rank below bronze such as tin you would have most likely wound up in Tin 3.) Since there's no rank below bronze you unfortunately get stuck in Bronze 5 because there is nowhere else to go.
The other important thing to note is that your first couple games in your placements affect your MMR A TON more than you last couple games in placements. For example, winning your first 8 games and then losing your last 2 will result in you placing in a higher rank than losing your first 2 games and winning your last 8 even though you wind up with the same record over 10 games.
Take a deep breath and chill. If you have the skills you'll be able to climb out. I've climbed out of bronze quite a few times. All you have to do is gain 200 LP and you're back to your season 6 rank. Players at higher ranks who get dropped anywhere from 1 to 3 full ranks have to gain 500 to 1500 LP to get back to their season 6 rank. The ranked reset hurt you a LOT less than them so I'm not sure why you're complaining.
FioraWillCarry1 votesI love being placed in B5. Climbing back to where I belong is quite fun.
Endorsi1 votesits hard resets. its just calculating your last seasons rank and resetting it
