is there any actual point to placements?

This is the wrong board but, if you're soloing first time ranked play on all these accounts the results won't be much different. Add some duos/multiple seasons in the mix and the results will vary.

Last season 6-4 and 5.0 kda = bronze 5 This season 7-3 and 7.0 kda = bronze 5

iff your acc never was ranked, they are kinda pointless. IF your acc ever was ranked... they are still kinda pointless. because all they do is make you drop usually 3-5 divisions. almost no matter what you play. friend of mine played 2/8 and went from plat 5 to gold 5. his 90% of the time duoq partner played 5/5 and went from plat 5 to gold 4.

To me, it's the difference between Silver 5 and Bronze 3-4. But to still be placed in Silver 5, despite winning 9/10 of my games, is annoying to a degree. I'm already familiar with how soft resets work, but to it still... rather annoying. It is what it is though. I haven't been discouraged though, since I do make progress whenever I do play ranked.

If you don't bother to make any progress, then yeah there's no point to em.

placements only matter very very minorly. Your MMR is what matters.

It goes off by MMR which means even if you win and do bad it would be still like a lose.

Strong feeling you were placed precisely where you belong. No offence intended.

They got to place you to start the season right, what's your point.

3 accounts , 3 different win/loss, same skill level because it is the same person,

Yes, the system is working correctly, how does anyone dispute this ?
