Went 4/6, ended up Silver 3 again.

Your placement is influenced by your rank last season. There was a soft reset so that placements had a larger impact, but it still matters where you were before.

Okay, so this is the way that you get placed. If you were not any rank during last season, then it's just your provisonals that affect your MMR and ultimately your League. Each time you win a provisional, your MMR goes up by a lot, much more than a normal ranked game. Losing one drops your MMR by a lot. By going 10/0, your MMR skyrocketed, and the system placed you in the appropriate League for your current MMR. If you had done worse, then you would place lower. Your score or what you did in those games does not matter. The only thing that affects how much MMR you got from each match was whether you won or lost, and the MMR of your opponents (higher MMR opponents, more MMR for you). Now, if you both hadn't played ranked last season, why would you get placed in different Leagues if you scored better? Basically, normals MMR. I've found that normals have a somewhat significant effect on your ranked MMR. For example, I went 4/6 in my first season and got Silver II. My friend went 6/4 and got Bronze IV. I played a ton of normals (so I could get all the champions I wanted before I played ranked, many of whom were quite expensive) whereas my friend jumped into ranked immediatly, buying 450 IP champions. I think that in that extra time I gave myself before I played ranked, I was able to increase my MMR to far above that of my friend by playing normals.

its probably based on the people you played against in promos. If you theoretically played against challengers and lost 10 games ud probbaly get gold or something
