The Placement Match System Is Absolutely Stupid.

If you get lucky and play 10 scrubs in a row when the season starts, then boom, you automatically are stuck in at a super high rank. If you have 1 or 2 even matches though, you're stuck at a much lower rank.
Doesn't make sense to me.

Yep... It's quite dumb IMO. I have played a few games - if I get someone above my ELO I get +120 for a win.
If I get someone below then I get +7 or something... It all depends on what I get matched with. Now when there are 10+ people in the queue I struggle to comprehend why I'm matching 1300 ELO people when I have 1800 ELO+.
Total waste of my "seeding" matches and if someone else gets lucky, they get a bonus ELO to propel them up.
End of the day I don't care that much, after 2 seasons of rewards debarcles and now 2 seasons of this silly grading/bonus ELO... Just going to play my 25 games and be done with it. Whatever rewards I get, I get. Community feedback is definately not being taken onboard here at all.

Agreed, but I would -like- to care.... it's just there's barely any reason to, and that's pretty disheartening.

With small alterations Solaris could actually be half decent. Alas, here we are.

So if you have 10 in the queue. The top and bottom ELO players will match while the meat in the middle all play each other as they are closer.
Say like 1600 ELO and 1650 ELO.
At least that is my experience because if I have 1900 ELO and 10 in the queue and I get a 1300 ELO player. What are the other 8 players? Are they honestly all lower than 1300 ELO? (which is like 0-4). I sincerely doubt it.

Had 1800+ ELO in Div 1 after few matches.
Encoutered a guy with starting ELO level and beat him 3 times. The 4th time he run away and we had a tie. My ELO dropped 200+ to 1600. After a tie, Karl!
After that I won dozen of matches and each time I gained 7 or 15 scores.
So basically I still can't restore my ELO to before that Tie level even after several wins against 2000+ ELO players.
Almost the same story happened to me in Div 4.
So basically this system encorouges people to win 3-4 matches, and then never return to this game mode again, because you can secure the position that easy, and the price of a mistake is too high.

From my wondering about it for so long I think it places outliers together. So if you got passed over and priority it just places you with the one who doesnt get matched up

it was so consistent that I am starting to wonder if it was some alt account from a top player. Then, I ran into a guy who was 0-30, who played beautifully and almost killed me...
