What is going on with S4 solo rank ?

Idk what is going on with the new solo rank system, it should pump confidence to every summoner for the new S4 season, and i know Riot is on its way of doing that. However, it looks stupid and ridiculous right new, everyone will realize it when u finish ur 10 replacement matches, and every of my friend get mad about that, but i want to talk about this: i was on plat 4 at S3 end, and i have made 8 wins out of 10 in my placements, but now i get reset to Silver 1? i know Riot has so many brilliant engineers to work on the elo calculation system, i was wondering what principle Riot was based to make a plat 4 player(8/10 wins) reset to Silver 1? is that linear algebra, Calculus, or solid geometry? although ppl will say that if u qualify for Plat level, then u should not worry about where u started , even from Wood 5, what about the time, the efforts we spend on the way to plat, diamond even challenger tier? i still dunt believe this is how Riot inspire its summoners, i believe this is just a system error, and Riot will give everyone a right tier we deserved. thank you Riot!

It actually makes more sense to not place people into the higher tiers to allow for more consistent and appropriate promotions. It's the same thing as not having Challenger rankings right now, it's too early in the season to determine if a player should be ranked that high or not.

That isn't what I said. What I'm saying is it makes no sense to place people in large numbers into upper tiers because it stagnates the ranked population. You can't just give people top tiers off of placements or prior rank, that's ridiculous. You'll notice there aren't any challenger tier soloque right now. Is that because they are all bad now and don't belong in Challenger? Of course not, but it does mean that they have to earn their spot again instead of just being handed top tier ranking. And for the record, not everyone is being demoted by placements, some people are remaining in their division and I've talked to a few that got promoted by a division. If you "deserve" that tier, go earn it instead of raging on the forums.
