I won only 2 of my placement matches...
And got placed in Bronze II. My 2 friends, who won 6 and 5 placements respectively, both got placed in Bronze V.
How?

they were low bronze in previous seasons.
It also takes into account the opponents all of you face. If you won 2 lost 8 against gold players, then bronze II is in fact a bit too low. If your friends won 6 or 5 out of 10, but their opponents were all bronze V, then uh ya that looks right to me.
It takes into account the presious years they played too. I never played ranked, had a very high norms mmr (It only cares about norms mmr if you havent previously played ranked), won 8 games and got gold 3.
A few things to keep in mind:
A) Placements take your previous ranked history into account (or norms mmr if there is none)
B) The people in the placement matches are important too. If they had a high rank, and win every game, you will get a higher placement rank then if they were all silver 4 and you won every game.
C) Your friends couldve lied. Im not gonna jump to conclusions, and there is a good chance they didnt lie, but its not out of the ordinary
Generally A/B are your answer though.
