I'm Doing Placements... Will I Get Gold Out of Placements?

Heya, so I'm some unranked scrub that has finally gotten around to doing placements. OP.GG says that my MMR in ranked is currently "1473" and my last match was "1409" which I believe is approximately gold MMR. My goal is to get gold straight out of placements then just not play ranked for the rest of the season, then start up again next season and get diamond, since I'll have more time to do so. I'm currently 6-1 with my only loss being on jg (I'm a scumbag Riven main), and I didn't even know I could dodge placement matches for free at the time. I'm expecting to go 8-2, maybe 9-1 in placements, as most of these people I run into are complete garbage and I can carry easily. So I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what the chances are of me getting gold straight out of placements if I go 8-2 with the MMR OP.GG says I have.

Off-topic: Ranked has the saltiest people I've ever seen... Sort of on-topic: A friend of mine recorded my last match with the op.gg recorder if anyone wants to see my play and hilariously stupid mistake when sieging mid outer tower. EDIT: But the enemy team I was against was awful and had some stupid Urgot jungle, rager Fizz mid that purchased an account, Karma top (wtf?), and Yasuo adc. Also off-topic: Not sure if this is in the right boards section, as I don't really go to boards much.

EDIT 2: If someone could go into detail on why or why not that would be great, thanks! EDIT 3: Thanks for the replies! I've been noticing there's a lot of conflicting information though. I'm guessing there's no concrete information on this.

It's possible. The highest you can get placed is Plat 1, however odds are good you'll be somewhere in silver. They are just odds though, so keep your hopes high until you're done with them all.

If you win your early placement games and go like 7-3.

First thing to keep in mind, op.gg's MMR rating is not your true MMR, it's only an estimate, so it's very possible your true MMR is below (or above) what it states.

Now, I looked at your ranked history and noticed that this is your first season playing ranked. Since this is your first time, it is actually quite unlikely that you will be placed in Gold after your first 10 placement matches. You either have to win all 10 of your games, or win 9 and be very lucky with your MMR gains. Otherwise, it's likely that you will be placed in high Silver.

if you go 10-0 there is a chance of you getting gold V. Ultimately it depends on if you win and what mmr your opponents had.

Uh... you do know that Karma Top is actually a very powerful anti-bruiser pick, right? :p

I don't know if it's possible to place in gold without a rank from the previous season. Your MMR might be gold but the ranking system might still place you in silver because you're "unranked" and might have had a "lucky win streak." That said, climbing will be silly easy and you'll probably spend most your games in your promos.
