People are saying that they got placed 1 division down after they won like 80% of the placements ? Seriously now what is this BS ? people grind so hard and do their best in order to carry and win those placements to get place 1 division down ???

Highest rank allowed from placement is Plat 1. Everyone from D5 and above is cramped into plat1 and below and thus pushing everyone originally in that category down a full tier.

That's why you don't do ranked immediatly and wait for a bit until people get back to their respective tiers.

But a friend of mine got placed in G5 with 6 wins 4 loses (he was g3 before) whereas another was G2 with a better winrates ratio and got placed into S2 with 6 wins 4 loses ( most of the game he did with my other friend).

TL;DR That you will be placed lower unless you score perfect 10 aka 10 wins in placement matches. Even then you may still be lower than you were.

Otherwise what would be the point of new ranked season if you were to get the same rank after going 5/5?

10/10 wins wont help still gonna end up lower no matter what my answer is dont play ranked right away after reset wait week or two let the good players go up and then rekt equals

Last season I took a Bronze 2 turn 3 account with about 20 games. Went 10/10 in placements and got Gold 5.

You were saying?

Not for my main account, just a proof of concept.

Also, it was last season, but I haven't seen any red posts hinting that the math behind placements changed.

you cant go up after placement matches in div or tiers only down plus this image you showed its not what your lol king profile shows date on this pic is from pre rest this is just a normal day of grind

What are you babbling about?

This image shows division changes of the account across the span of two seasons(4 through 5).

Here, around December was the last ranked game in Season 4. Then there was a huge time of nothing aka no ranked games were being played. Then I went through placement matches in August and got placed in Gold 5.
