Ranked Placement matches

Do these even matter ? I just went 5-0 and ended up being placed in bronze 1 with 1700 RP LMAO .. I finished last season at Champ 1 , season before at Hero 3 . 
 

I feel like I would be better off conceding 5 losses and not spending a few hours playing 5 games. Especially if they will start me off at Bronze tie 1 anyway . 
 

Also no one quits anymore . Even down 14 -0 with me getting the ball to start the 2nd half . Every one thinks they are a Calvin deep bomb TD and hit stick away from coming back lol ..

I don't think it matters at all

It matters. at least from my understanding of the way it was explained by ZAN. Basically if you go undefeated youre going to play stronger players who also did well in their placement matches. If you tank it and go 0-5 your matchmaking will be with players of similar skill according to the “placement matches”

I went 5-0 and it put me in silver

If this is true , that gives me even more incentive to just concede all 5 next season .

Yea but if you start on bronze 1 instead of silver 1 or 2 u have to play more games to get to that 3200 rp i Started 5-0 and was placed in silver

4-1 got me bronze.

I went 5-0 already and started Bronze 1 . Just crazy , next time I’ll just concede . Those 5 wins could have gotten me to silver already .
