So long story short I was Plat 1 last season and got unlucky with my randoms for my placements this season and lost 5 games and although that ratio is pretty bad in no way that should have dropped me to Gold 1 including the fact that I carried my own weight in each of those games. So my question is how this turn of events happens to me going from Plat 1 to Gold 1 but my smurf friend can reach Plat 2 off placement winning 7 games when he is usually Gold.
