Yes i know yet another mmr thread, but i did make a search and didn't find anything about this particular thing.
Started sc2 at beta, i became a plat player when diamond was still the highest. Loosing interest, i started to play less and watch more tournament and my level droped.
around saison 3 i was trying to intentionaly loose my placement match but it didn't change anything and i was still in plat but didn't have this level anymore and was just loosing everything. I was too lasy to chain loose games to drop league so i quitted sc2.
with hots i regained the will to play and i started to play with friend to see that my level was just horrible and i was thinking to say goodbye to ladder.
It's then i've seen i had to do 5 placement match while my friends only had one. I've made them and loose intentionaly to try to drop and ended up with 4L/1W (a guy droped before me :p) and placed silver.
i'm very happy with this because i think it's perfect to start over as a random player but at the same time i'm surprised.
does my MMR have been reset because i skipped a whole ladder season ?

I dont think so, i think MMR stays the same if i am not mistaken, kinda like the hon mmr

I heard from someone on the B.Net forums that your MMR does indeed reset if you skip a season, but I've never seen an official post about it or anything.

If you skip a season the MMR resets. I might be wrong though, but you have to play the 5 placements atleast.

stays the same, says blizzard. but if you skipped a season, relatively it may change. hence 'reset'. like if your mmr value is 1200, it could be platinum in s2 but now dropped to silver in s4.

mmr should remain even if you skip multiple seasons, but since you were gone for so long, your actual level compared to the ever increasing average of all players dropped, and since you skipped multiple seasons you had no previous season for it to modify your new rank by. So technically, your mmr is probably the same as when you were in plat, but overall that mmr rank is now closer to silver in level. And because you didn't play for multiple seasons, it places your mmr as an average of the whole system, rather than just modifying what you had last season.
So, instead of being plat +/- from placement, its placement league +/- mmr.

The 5 placement matches does suggest that you're starting fresh, and commonly you will face other players in placement in your first few matches, which is also characteristic of a new account. This information is in the Ladder Guide.
