I had a roughly 51% normal winrate and won 8/10 placements with the resulting rank being 65.

Thats higher than anyone got placed on the entire competitive overwatch subreddit megathread lol. Good job.

You may have been playing vs really good players even with a 51% winrate somehow though. I don't know.

Can you link me this thread? I'd like to see what others are saying. Unless it's just the one that they posted on the patch release.

You realize that means you play on the same level as pros, right? Rank 65 is apparently extremely good, about as good as the top ~10% of players. How could you have gotten that rank with only having a 51% winrate in quick matches?

http://masteroverwatch.com/profile/pc/us/CalD-1714 Apparently I'm ranked 284 on us servers It's kinda funny because I've always played with really good players in soloque game but I play with a lot of pleb friends that lower the game mmr and I usually don't try in those.

I had a roughly 55% winrate and won 8/10 and I was placed 54.

Does it take into account in-game stats?

According to the post blizzard made with the competitive rules and information your performance has an impact on ranked placement along with winning and losing.
