placements dont mean as much as people think. they like to rank people a bit lower than their mmr so they can enjoy the climb. in your case your mmr was bronze 5 anyway so they couldnt put you any lower.

Well, let's say you won 5/10 matches against players of a Diamond skill level - it'd make sense to place you at Diamond cause you've shown you can hold your own against them. On the other hand, if you win 5/10 matches against players of a Bronze 5 skill level, it makes sense to place you at Bronze - winning 5/10 matches against bronze actually shows that it shouldn't place you higher because you can barely hold your own against Bronze - much less against silver. Your placements are not about win/lose, it's about who you win and lose against - and whether you're winning games against players higher than your current MMR or not.

That being said, I'm locking this as it's on the wrong board. There's a thread dedicated to ranked placement venting on the Gameplay boards and you can go there to further discuss this.
