Are Flex Queue Placements Broken?

I'm not asking this about me, I play at roughly Mid-High Gold, Low plat levels and after my Flex Queue games I got placed in Gold 3. Ok, that's cool and everything, no complaints. Except I have a Silver 4 friend who consistently plays at a Silver level, and I also have a Bronze 1 friend, (I didn't queue with them btw) Who also got placed in Gold after their placements. Is the MMR / seeding bugged atm?

Im Bronze tier, and in one of my games I lost to a Plat 5 Ezreal ADC and a 17/1 Xin who was supposedly Bronze 3

Yes, I would say Placements are broken

From what I heard, everyone starts at 1200 elo in flex, regardless of where they were last season, because it is a new que..

It's still weird.. Duo'd in flex q with my B1 solo/duo q friend, (I'm silver5 atm there). I had won one flex placement and we get enemy as master tier players? Needless to say who won.
