Season 6 placements with system down.

Seems like reddit and discussion boards are all talking about how the placement matches are not using our MMR from last season or off-season. After winning first 4 matches as a gold player last season, my fifth game was still with bronze players. Finishing placement matches 8-2 and being placed at silver V is quite disheartening.

Is there a way for those of us that already finished placements to redo them once this issue has been fixed?

seems about right, if you were gold 5 0 lp last season or right before they cut out your rank there is a huge chance of improvement of elo and riot lowers mmr for people under plat instead of boosting their mmr. The reason is because it reduces less people in the higher elo and it proves really if you are actually a gold 5 mmr by putting you in silver to get back up.

I'm sorry, what? So if one earns a ranking, works during the off-season, comes back and wins 80% of the placements the goal is to send them back for a soft reset? That is ludicrous. Placement matches are not needed if that is the case as then the one decision is if everyone (non-diamond and up) needs to be dropped one tier or two.
