i returned back after a while and the ranked system just feels very off

The last time i played was somewhere around Killjoy's release, i think its almost a year from now.

So i turned on the game, had to play the tutorial again for some reason and then queue'd into ranked. Absoluty crushed my first game, but we barely won in overtime (i had like 4-5 aces in 28 rounds).

Then i was shocked to see myself placed in silver 1, since my rank back then was dia.

And now this picture you see is my second lobby after returning.

There is just so much wrong with this, the game knows my initial rank, still places me against silvers and (to be expected) i pretty much carried my team almost alone.

Just to place me at silver 1, to play against ranks i could not even queue with?!

I dont cry to be in this elo because this basically gives me an easy start back into the game, but this is just unfair for everyone in this elo.

I honestly feel bad for the guys that are calling me smurf, telling me to f*** off and stop ruining their experience, because they are right, except for the fact that this is my main.

Do you guys have any ideas why this is happening? Am i gonna be in gold 1 soon playing against diamonds?

This is honestly the worst ranking system ive ever experienced, and ive played alot of bad ones.
