Well initial thought:

If last season was your first season it generally places someone in silver as a starting place. From there it's all about how you do. It looks like this season your finished in Bronze 2. So this seasons MMR that it is used to determine placements is now the Bronze 2 MMR. So generally you can expect to drop down a few divisions from last season. So going from Bronze 2 to Bronze 3 is actually really good in terms of placement matches.

Hope that helps some.

Well it does but I finished at Bronze 1 last season so I was really expecting a much better rank.

Honestly, if I was in your position I wouldn't be to upset. There's a lot of players in silver atm getting placed down in Bronze 5. So Bronze 3 isn't to bad. Good luck on the climb.
