Why am I getting nothing but Gold/Plat players for Teammates and Enemy Teams - when my placements - 1st placed me at B4 > won the first 3 placements go to B2 and been loosing rest of placement matches.

Why did riot do this system??? I don't understand it - if you're place bronze - you should be in bronze games right? but im not please riot do explain.

MMR. Your MMR determines if you get iron players or plat players. Realistically elo means nothing more then "I got better teams"

Its a new account - just am confused about the MMR Placement Games. So like I guess Ill get placed Silver 4 at highest - and Ill have to grind out the wins to get back to Gold - again.

You havn't play with or vs plat player in any game on your acc.

It's way to push players higher, but by keeping them in lower div, it is way to eventually reduce the luck, so while some one who belongs in bronze/silver won few games by luck, he isn't instantly pushed into gold/plat, and same for players who are better than bronze/silver, you will be getting 25+ lp per win and lose small amounts.

Except if he is playing against plat players his mmr is there which means he is already in plat in reality. The visible rank has no meaning, only mmr matters. Even if he doesn't belong in plat, he is still ruining games for those plat players in his games.

Doesn't matter, he still needs to win more games in that MMR to get that visiable rank or he will quickly leave that elo duo to not having much games played, which silver player won't do unless he is extremely lucky and at the same time, this will push smurf away from low elo. So this needs to stay in game unless we want to have team that consist of silvers, golds and plats in same game.

(to get to plat elo/mmr, you need to win all placements and few games afterwards, so to get to plat by luck is unlikely)
