New rank, server transfer issue?

Hey guys, last season I was placed Iron 3 and climbed to Gold 4 on EUW. I transferred to NA for this season as I moved to NA irl, my first placement put me into Iron 2 and after going 6-4 I finished placements Bronze 4.

Is this normal for this season, initial placement was more than two tiers below last seasons finish. I feel like my transfer just completely disregarded last seasons finish and I have reverted back to the beginning. Grinded so much last year from Iron to Gold and for what, to get reset back to Iron? Some thing isn’t right here and I wonder if this is a transfer problem.

What’s the point? If all plat become silver, gold to bronze etc, i’m just playing the same elo as gold last season but now its under the name of bronze. Making it ridiculous to climb.

I understand half a tier or maybe even a tier but this is just discouraging to play.

I honestly am not sure. I am currently in Gold 4 and all my teammates/opponents are plat last season, including me also.

it's to make you play the game more.

riot's whole ranked scheme is revovlved around squeezing every last bit of play hour from you. They think that if you just got your "deserved" rank you'll just stop playing, that's why you have stuff like MMR(which makes 0 sense if u think about it)

Yeah, it's normal. Most people finished placements a tier or more below their original rank.
