Placement Games and Where You Should Be Placed

I was spectating this one guy from my friend list since he asked me what I think of him as a league player. And I told him I would have to watch you play to figure that out. So I watched his game (he's silver 3; won 5/10 placement games) and he clearly did not belong to silver tier.

He was not good at csing, did not buy any wards besides the trinket you can buy for free, his mechanics with the champion he was using were very awkward, and etc..

And I just want to know if there is any other way to place people where they actually belong?

I know that will be very hard, but there are tons of people in low elo that are there by pure luck (they got carried, etc..), and those players make the game hard.

Not complaining, but I just thought making this a bit more balanced would be better for the players who actually want to get out of 'elo hell' better since they do not have to play with players who clearly seem to be many divisions, if not the whole tier below them.

Watching a game, you notice 100x more mistakes than playing it. Try watching one your own games sometime. You're like, "is that really me? That can't be me... oh God..."

No thats not true. ^ Some people really suck ass and they get a higher rank than an actual gold elo skilled player stuck in bronze. It's not really fair at all, because I won 8-2 in my provs this season and got to Bronze 3. I was Bronze 2 last season. According to logic I'm supposed to be a worse rank when I win 80% of my games, right? Rito has a retarded system actually, because so many deserve to be in B5 but make it to G5 by sheer dumb luck.

If you only watched one game, that's not a great sample size. I'm in G3 currently and I have games where I do dumb things, forget to wars, and miss the majority of CS I go for. For all you know your friend belongs a where he is and you just spectated a bad game. If you spectate multiple games (say 10) and he was consistently bad in all of them yet never dropped rank, then you may have a point.
