Can someone explain to me how placements work in ranked 5s?

So I just finished placements for a ranked team and was placed in Bronze 1. The only reason i find this to be strange is that we won 4/5 of our placement matches, and every game we played we were matched with were high mid-high platinum players and even a few diamond players. 3/5 games were stomps with us winning with 15k+ gold more than the enemy team and 10-20 kills more than them. I would love it if someone would explain to me why we got ranked the way we did. Edit: All 5 of our members are in gold 5

Well for ranked 5v5's I too were placed with Diamonds and Plats when I had a whole silver team. It's mainly because a guess they just put you up whoever since you are a brand new team and not a ranked team. like when you do promos for single que how you will go against gold members mainly. Once you get ranked and you say you are Bronze 1 you will start going against people your own skill level. If everyone in your group has a average of Silver 1 you'll get places with groups from Bronze-Gold it seems like.
