Got put in Silver V after winning 7 of my placements. The fact that the results of just one or two of those 10 games will decide if someone is going to be wasting potentially 100+ more just to get to the division they most likely deserves is pretty stupid.

I've seen people in plat with around 15+ wins over losses, I am currently in low Gold with 21+ wins. Simply because I failed a few promotions. Previous seasons should not factor into how fast you climb either, the inequality left by this is huge.

I know Riot is planning to overhaul the system for season 4, which could be a godsend. I don't see how they can make it any worse than the current setup, you can literally climb with a 50/50 win ratio as long as promotions go smoothly.
