I am a plat 3 player on my main and have 2 other plat ranked accounts , I recently started a new account trying to get around gold 2 not to Smurf just to play with some friends. I'm not super competitive but I like to play semi serious with my friends but there is a definite skill gap between my friends and I. As I was ranking this account hoping to get gold I played in mostly high gold to mid plat lobby's for my placements, my last placement matching being a lobby of 4 diamonds and the rest plat. I won 3 and lost 2 very close games. so with my placements Being what the they were I was expecting to be placed plat 1 to gold 1 right where I wanted. But NO I was placed silver 2. How is it even possible to play in high plat to diamond but be ranked silver. I had heard the the placements were bad this act but I didn't think it would be this ridiculous. Maybe I really am at silver level and aren't as good as I think. But if that's so then why would a silver player ever get matched with players 8 ranks above their level. I was warned by many not to rank that account this season and I should have listened. If this is what lower ranks are having to deal with on the regular I can see why a lot of people have stopped playing. if any one else has had a similar experience please share.
