Placement Matches

Well, I just finished my placement matches at 7-3. I was silver 4 in the Preseason but I was placed in Bronze 4.

Is that normal?

It doesn't really feel like that's right when you have a 70% win rate in your placement matches.

Has anyone had similar experiences, is this a normal thing? I mean that's a full Tier backwards. Bronze 1 or 2 makes sense. Bronze 4, I don't see the math.

Gold to Silver?

That's like a really discouraging way to start the season after grinding out 10 games at a hella good W/L ratio.

Gold 1 to Silver 1

It basically starts you over from the beginning. If you are good at winning (which it sounds like), it will grant you WAY more LP per win and give you less LP for losing.

Getting back to silver 4 wont be a problem.

Yup. I went 6-4. from S4 to B3.

It's silly, but I don't really care, either. I may as well be challenger for how easy it is to stomp in Bronze games.

It is normal, same for me last season. http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/competitive/2016-ranked-season-kicks-soon "Preseason brought some substantial changes to the game (learn more about preseason here, so we’re again running a soft reset before placements kick off. As with previous years because of the soft reset, you’ll likely place lower than where you ended last year."

looking at your match history, you fed almost every game and got carried by nasus. also, you ONLY have 2 turrets down by only you. you didnt help team. so what does this mean, it means bronze 4
