Ranked placements

Do you guys think going 7-3 and 6-4 in your ranked placements games while carrying most games(had an overall 4kda) yet being placed in Bronze 5 in both is fair? I just don't feel like grinding all the way through bronze when I shouldn't have been placed there in the first place.

Plat 5 last season. Won 6/10, with the last game winning a 4v5. Got placed into silver 1. I considered quitting the game because of this. Doesn't seem fair to me either. How does this system work? What are the other deciding criteria?

Season reset takes your last season mmr plat 5 with a good mmr for your Ranking would be around 1800. They add 1200(the 50% mark for ranked players) then divide by 2 Your new starting mmr is now 1500 which is around gold 5. Then you complete placement matches that sway your mmr up or down, then they place you in a Ranking one tier lower than your current mmr.

This gets people with low mmr out of high level games (boosters) and gives people in low bronze a better chance at getting silver or higher. So plats end in silver, diamond end up gold, challenger end up plat.
