This Zac who appears to be on a presently 4 game Int Spree: https://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-history/NA/37504126

And this Fiddle that appears to be following the same path: https://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-history/NA/33312468

This is my second Ranked game on this account, I have 100% fresh MMR and I won the 1st placement match... so what manner of mathematical bullshit decided I and the other two decent players on this team deserved these two?

It takes a while for matchmaking to place people properly, as a result you are being thrown in with every other new player, who have wildly different skill levels.

It cant just magically decide how good people are from a couple dozen games.
