How do First time placements work? For new lvl 30's
How do first time placements work for first time lvl 30's? What affects where you're placed and does your normals game mmr affect anything when doing placements?

I believe you start at a silver 3(ish) mmr (the league communities average mmr) and it varies depending on win/loss ratio, personal performance (which includes many factors, not just k/d/a), and the enemy team's mmr
The highest you can be placed is plat i think, while the lowest is B5 of course.
Don't stress about it and just do your best. If you get placed below where you want just keep playing and work on improving ^-^
I believe you start at 1200 mmr which is right now I believe high S5/S4ish.
Normal mmr doesn't count.
As with all ranked games, losses do more damage than wins count. Winning first then losing later seems to be better.
For first time if you go 50/50 or better you will probably get silver. After first time though even 50/50 or better can still get you bronze, not sure why though.
If you've never played rank before, you can just win 4/10 and still get silver 5. I won 6/10 and got Silver 2 during my first season
You start off with a baseline MMR of aproxiamtely 1200 (Silver 4)
Every game you play makes you win or lose roughly 100.
If you win all 10, you can get Gold 5 at most, from what I've heard, if you win 5, you get Silver 4, if you lose all, you get low bronze.
I don't suggest jumping into ranked games until you understand the basic mechanics of at least 4-5 champs per position that you main.
I know jumping into ranked games seems like a really exciting thing, but its the most common mistake from new players. You are better off playing a couple more games on norms first.
Bonne chance.
Your starting position in placements actually is determined by your normal MMR, but the actual placement matches can swing that around depending on their results.
