the whole point of playing ranked in preseason is to set you up a good mmr for next season placement matches.
soft reset is something like: (your current mmr + 1200) / 2 = new mmr for next season placement matches.
so yes this gives people a good chance on being placed into gold if they do well in their placements.
An awesome Shaco wallpaper, enjoy.
