KOVA | Welcome Valorant

I was playing tonight and played 7 matches, 5 of them were icebox. The other two were split and ascent. I hate dodging and consider icebox a sound enough map, but isn't it a bit too much icebox? Is the pick rate changed or is it just luck?...

After every act you play some placement matches. Do you begin at your act rank after the act ends? Like, if my act triangle is diamond 2 but my current rank is plat 3, will I begin my palcements at plat 3 or diamond 2? Thanks!
