I regret playing my placement games in FleX Queque and I think many of us do

So I played 9 placement games so far. All of them were unbalanced games either stomp or getting rekt. I ended the season in D5 but I played vs Challenger while having Gold players in my team, played with other Diamonds in my team vs a group of Platinum-Gold etc. You can look this up. Anyway I got at least an S- in all my games so far. The problem is those games didn't reflect my skill at all. The games with decent teammates vs significantly lower eelo players were too easy and got me an S without even trying. The games with significantly lower eelo players vs other Diamonds and even Master and Challenger were lost in champselect. Losing those games even while getting an S- didn't reflect my skill neither because I was playing for KDA since the games were lost anyway.

So how will this system measure my skill knowing the system was broken? It is also about equal level playing field. Those who still have to play their placement games will play under better circumstances. I think we all rather play again 10 placement games with fairly balanced teams.

Don't people remember the general rule to not do placements at the very beginning? This happens every season.

Because of the MMR mismatch in Flex Queue, you got reset to the original starting point (pre placements). But remember this is only Preseason, the rank you accomplish now WILL BE RESET AGAIN! The rank you get in preseason does only influnece the placement in Season 7 to a SMALL extend! (only your starting point in season 7 is affected by Preseason ranks) Sidenote: 1-2 Tier drops are completely normal in preseason.

I.E.: You were Plat 5 at the end of the season, were placed high Silver after placements, now got placed low Silver. If you now climb to Plat again, you will then only be placed in low Gold at the start of Season 7!

So dont worry to much about the current placement!

In your case you need to remember that the best "placement" is Plat 1 so every high elo guy gets plat 1. But you will reset to the sarting point, because all matches till now were unbalanced and thus couldnt be counted for your rank! (It seems they still have a tiny impact, but it shouldnt be much)
