Trying to understand how ranked works??
So I've had a very quick read through the notes for the changes to ranked in season 13. It seems to me that it's making it easier for good players to progress but harder for average or below average ...

Last season I finished gold 3 and I've just checked my ranked level and I've been dropped down to bronze 4??
I thought we weren't getting dropped down so many levels this season??
Normally I would expect to be bronze 1 if I finished gold 3 the previous split as it was 1 and a half ranks you used to get dropped.
I've obviously not understood how this works!
You understood correctly how it worked up till season 12.
EA failed to communicate how the new system would affect where you would be placed due to their rework of the whole ranking system.
Basically for start of S13 we have been effectively demoted 2.5 ranks. I do believe the demotion was in fact 1.5 and then you had a calculated starting RP as per S12 and that translated to your season 13 starting RP which since the the new RP changes put you at an even lower rank. I think @OldTreeCreeper caught on to this fact. I think that moving forward in the next split it will be back to the standard 1.5 ranks unless they change the system again.
