This is a smurf, but I am about a mid plat player. So I just started doing placements for season 9. I am 4-1 in placements, and was at "Gold IV". This is my load in screen to the game: 3 prior season plats and 1 prior season diamond. So my entire team, and probably enemy team, is all plat and diamond level players. We crush this game. I am now 5-1 in placements and I'm "Promoted to Gold 3". As you can see by the OP.GG, the game's MMR is apparently "Gold 1". HAHAHAHAHAHA. Right. Cuz you know, that's definitely what it looks like with all diamond and plat players. So now i'm 5-1 in promos. By this point, I will be matched with high plat/diamond players for my final two placements. So if I go 2-0, and go 7-1, MAYBE I get to start the season in Gold 2, MAYBE. Could still be Gold 3. But don't worry, all you have to do is win 75% of your games against plat and diamond level players to get back to Plat 4, where you finished last season. Probably where a lot of Mid Diamond - Low Masters players are currently sitting in P4. And if you don't? You'll just normalize your MMR back down to Gold. Making it harder to climb there later. Bottom line, this is an absolute joke. Why should players have to beat other plat and diamond players to get out of Gold? Its completely ridiculous, and if you play ranked before June, you are slitting your own throat. Instead, just wait until then when a big portion of the playerbase normalized, and then you will easily win 80% of your games and climb within 10 games, vs sitting here grinding against players diamond players to get promoted to Gold 2. BAHAHAHAHA. It's complete garbage. Fix this.

How is this different than any other season? You cannot be placed higher rank than you ended last season. Almost everyone gets moved down. 100% of players in Diamond+ get moved down. Placements are NOT a 10 game lottery to advance you through the ranks. Your account ended last season G1 and it's eyeing you around G3/G2. What exactly is the issue here?

Apparently you miss the part every season where Riot tells you that EVERYONE starts a bit lower than where they finished.

If ur plat why is it hard for you to beat plat players and get plat? Ur not beating plat players to get out gold, ur beating plat players to prove ur plat and not get demoted to gold. If u get gold than ur a gold player till u get out. Simple

I'm gold in support already. I don't really understand how this ranking system is going to work though; if I get autofilled Jungle does it consider me a bronze player (say my Jungle is bronze for instance) and place me against like opponents?

or is it just my bronze jungle against their bronze jungle, but every other position can be gold:gold or silver:silver?
