I went 4-6 in my placements and didn’t go down in rank at all?!?!

I mean I’m obviously not mad but riot why did you bless me like this? I went 4 wins and 4 losses in my placements and got plat 5... I was plat 5 end of season 7 and plat 4 100 lp at the end of preseason. I just don’t understand how I possibly got ranked so well... Additionally, before my final placement match, which I lost, op.gg said I was likely to be placed plat 3. What happened?

Op.gg is not an official Riot site, nor do they use anywhere near remotely accurate MMR/matchmaking algorithms. Hence why that was wrong.

That being said, your new rank will be based partially on your last season’s MMR and your placements will generally be played in between your last season’s MMR and current MMR - thus it’s likely your placements started out at a plat 3 MMR or so.
