Flex Placement Issues

I understand that you are supposed to get placed lower than what you are ranked in Solo/Duo / S5. I get that. It's how the system has always been. So I do my placements and go 6/4. W/L/L/W/W/W/W/L/W/L.

During those 10 games I played with plats in 4 or so of them (if I recall correctly), one of which was my last game where I had to face FOUR plats. Got rekt btw.

I figured I'm doing alright. Playing against plats, I go 2-2 in those 4 games, and even though I'm not expecting to be placed in Plat, I figured my MMR must be decent. I only finished Silver 4 this season, mind you. So figured I'm on the track to at least be higher silver based on the competition. I mean after all, I only played against maybe 2 bronze players, and had maybe 1 on my team. But nope. Placed Bronze 1. Bronze-freaking-one.

If you wanna place me lower, that's cool. Put me up against other silver and bronze kids. I have no issue with that. But don't make the road for BRONZE ONE, this hard. To go 2-2 in those 4 Plat games played, and 6-4 overall vs mainly High SIlver-Gold players, this is how I get rewarded? Come on now. I'm not asking for Gold, Plat or anything like that. I'm asking for fair placement against fair opponents for what you intend to place me in.

EDIT: I also see a kid placed in Bronze 1 after going 7-3. 1 game better than me, but he finished S3. So 1 division higher than me. I check into his games and in his 4th placement game for flex, this is what he played against...

this is the exact same in every single soft reset. The higher rank you are the harder you are hit but in return you get to climb faster... assuming you actually win your games that is. You can see plenty of gold and silver players be dropped to bronze and plenty of plat+ players be dropped to silver. This shouldn't be news to anyone that has been playing the game for more than a season

Yea, I don't get the placements either. I ended the season at Silver 5 Solo/Duo and I played a lot of mid Gold players and a couple of Plats in Flex, went 6-4 and I got Silver 2. By your account, you played a lot more Plats and also went 6-4 but you got Bronze 1 ? That's 4 whole divisions lower. You should have been placed higher than me. Gold 5 perhaps.

Thats cute. Mine 5w 5l. Bronze 2. Im Plat 5, and i never played with or against bronze players in placements. Mostly against plat/gold and a few diamonds with silvers. This placements feels so broken :D
