Riddle me this Rito (Good old Flex Q)

The Link in this post is Riot's response to the new "extra placement" complaints thusfar, apparently it was purposeful and they believe you belong in whatever you were placed in via this new system (just to inform you). I find it interesting reading the part about inflated LP gains explaining how people climbed since Flex has come out until these new "extra placements." Especially considering my personal experience directly contradicts that claim, I am literally winning the same amount (of LP) as I was before.

In conclusion, until proven otherwise, I'm going to have to assume Riot is trying to cover their mistakes with this system by claiming that this is all what they mean to be doing.
