What is the point of that elo? Even if you lose all 8 placement matches you won't get placed there. There is NO way to get iron unless you get into bronze iv and then lose like 10+ games in a row.

Remove grandmaster also.
There really shouldn't be an "Iron" It should just be "below Bronze". By analogy to an Olympic competition. There's Gold, Silver, Bronze, and everybody else.
I said last year that there ought to be placements to be allowed to enter Ranked play. "Iron" is the answer to that...
Iron 4 is statistically harder to achieve than Diamond 1
actually OP
new accounts going into ranked can (and often do) get placed in that elo
as a new account the lowest you can get placed now is iron 4 with either iron 1 or bronze 3-4 being the highest
The point is to make Bronze players feel better about their rank since at least they're not Iron. :D
it's harder to get out of iron than it is to get out of bronze. honestly it's the most unplayable elo ever.
I was placed in iron, was a tough nightmare. People playing 45 + minute games and placing 0 wards while going 0/19 that sorta crap
