RE: Season 9 Placements

In every past season, doing ranked placements on a returning account typically placed players in a lower ranking than their last season's, even if they win most or all of their placement games. Is this still going to be true? And if the MMR dispersion remains intact, will this mean that bronze 5 players will be placed in Iron 4 even if they win the majority of their placement matches?

Asking for a friend.

Yes, you will still be placed in a lower division than your Season 8 rank. You should take a look at this article, which explains a lot of how placements will work in Season 9.
