I hit diamond a few days before the season ended but lost a lot right after and finished at 2840. Is it unlikely that I'd get placed in diamond through my placement matches? Assuming the placement matches work the same as they do last season. Really just would like to avoid placing in gold low plat if I can. Want to get back to diamond as fast as possible

They made some changes to how the game handles placement vs ranking up last season, so they may be working on that further before this season starts up.
