I had never played Ranked before this weekend. I just hit Summoner level 30 this past Thursday night in fact!!

So I won 9 Out of 10 of my "Placement" matches.....Placed Bronze 5?

At the very least I should start out at Bronze 4, correct? If EVERY SINGLE OPPONENT I defeated was ranked Bronze 5 (which they certainly weren't), and I beat them 9 times in a row, then I should be placed ahead of them correct?

Keep in mind that MOST of the people I played versed were actually mid silver or low gold rank!

I faced a Plat 5 Ezreal in one of my Bronze area games

No, if you just hit 30 it is not likely you would get placed very high.

EDIT: The people you play against do not have as much of an impact as your own MMR. Matchmaking in ranked is a little wonky right now so you will be placed against people of higher MMR in some games.

Flex is broken/bugged atm. Riot is in the middle of fixing it.

Yeah, flex is bugged atm. They need a downtime to properly fix it, which will be sometime this week. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/developer-corner/3m3sPjar-odd-placements-in-flex

Yea, flex is broke. Luckily I knew better than to do placements on my main so I messed around with it on my smurf. My smurf is in Plat and I just had a game where I had 3 bronze team mates where the whole enemy team was Gold+. Good times.

Flex or solo?

I won 3 out of the 10 placement match and got Silver 5. I don't have a smurf account.
