You were Silver 5 last season and placement matches have been taking players about a full tier down this year.

It's to be expected.

does duoing with friends affect it at all? cuz i did duo most of those games

I believe it affects the MMR of the teams made.

IIRC, if you were playing with lower MMR friends, both teams would have a lower overall MMR than yours. As a result, you would likely receive less for your victories and lose more for defeats (since the system judges that you are better than the teams you are being matched with).

Vice-versa if you were queuing with higher MMR players.

Your position after the placements is not heavily based off of your win %, if at all. It has more to do with where you were last season, and how well you performed against the different tiers you were matched up against. You will almost always drop at least one full division. I personally went 8/10 as well, but dropped to Bronze 3. I was even in Gold for a decent amount of time last season, but I finished around S2 or S3. Let me guess, you were around S3-S5 last season?

I'm not sure exactly what effects duoing in ranked has on your placements, although I know that duoing makes your mmr hard to guess at, because you are potentially playing in more games with elo's that span higher or lower than what you would often get if you were solo.
