So all season i've been focusing on leveling up my smurf as a lot of people do, so I get it to 30 and i'm all excited for new placement games in ranked like most people would be right? So I lose my first game win my second and then lose the next two, so i'm 1-3, I then win my next 6 games in a row on a unranked account before today, and I get placed into bronze 1? just what, i've seen people do 10-0 and get plat, but I do 7-3 and get bronze fucking 1?
its your own fault for failing the first 3 games. thats put your placement down.
Highest rank you can get on a new, never ranked before, account is s1.
So... First the placement has be changed, it is not as strong as before. Each winning game will only grant you a bit more MMR than normal games. If you're 5/5 you're about bronze 2 to silver 5. 7/3 landing in bronze 1 is a bit unfortunate but could still happen if you played rank during a time with less players, and you get matched with lower MMR. Second, people who got to plat must have previous season ranked history. MMR is not hard reset every season. Or they are queueing with someone who had high MMR, and thus each placement grand them more MMR.

Okay so you can actually get higher then s1 for first placements, cowsep did 10-0 got plat 5 instantly. Look it up on youtube
Last week, my friend (who is probably the worst level 30 player I have ever met), just did his provisional matches for the first time ever. He fed in every single one, and played terribly. He queue for all 10 game alone, and his teammates carried him and he managed to get 2 wins. The other games, he created too much dead weight and lost.
He went 2 wins, 8 loses in provisional matches on a FRESH account and got placed in Silver 5.... I have no words. I don't understand placements at all. I lost a bet, I bet he would get placed in either bronze 4 or 5 based on how bad he is. And when he was 2-7 going into the last match of provisionals I was ready to collect, NOPE. lol
is odd in my placement games in another server i got gold 5 and i won 9 out of 10 theres alot of factors that determine that
