I just remade a game in flex ranked and it counted towards my placements, I was in bronze 3 now in bronze 4. The fact that It placed me without even playing a full proper game doesn't make sense at all

Because of the MMR mismatch in Flex Queue, you got reset to the original starting point (pre placements). But remember this is only Preseason, the rank you accomplish now WILL BE RESET AGAIN! The rank you get in preseason does only influnece the placement in Season 7 to a SMALL extend! (only your starting point in season 7 is affected by Preseason ranks) Sidenote: 1-2 Tier drops are completely normal in preseason.

I.E.: You were Plat 5 at the end of the season, were placed high Silver after placements, now got placed low Silver. If you now climb to Plat again, you will then only be placed in low Gold at the start of Season 7!

So dont worry to much about the current placement!

the "extra" placement game was just used to trigger the visual update! You were already reset at that point, but need to update the visuals(which the extra games was used for)
