Season 4 Ranking system is weird ?

Hello,

I just wanted to get an answer on something. Last year, I began playing ranked at the end of the Season. I had played rank, months or maybe a year ago and didn't like it so I stayed away from it. I think whatever loses I got stayed on my account so I never started fresh. So now i'm in Bronze Division, I ended Season 3 in Bronze 2 or 3.

Here's the issue...I start this new season, I won 5, lost 5 and I'm placed in Bronze 4 ? Did my previous rank affect me ? Also, how am I in a lower rank now ? Last season when I began at the end of the season, I think I got a worse score than 5W 5L to qualify and I got placed in Bronze 2 or 3 to start.

Someone else had commented on their rank/tier being a little funny as well. Could there be an issue or an explanation ? I'm still sorta new the ranked system and I've generally stayed away because of bad behavior from team mates, but it is fun to play (when you have people who are serious that is...)

Any advice or clarification on this would be nice thanks,

N

P.s. An idea: You know that "report player" at the end of the game, could you add "troll" to the list of things that can be reported for ? It would be helpful, maybe even useful to the system.
