I duo queue'd with an unranked friend, in a draft normal Summoner's rift game. Before the game I was 2 wins, 2 losses in my promos to platinum. After game I got a message that I won my series, and that I was promoted to plat 5. I'm pretty sure this is not the intended behaviour.

Let me know if I can supply any more detail.

So quick repro steps:

  1. get Gold 1. Get to Platinum promos. Lose one game, win one, lose another, win one. (so you're 2wins, 2 losses)
  2. Start a draft pick normal game. Invite an unranked player.
  3. Win a game.
  4. Congratulations. You have been promoted to Plat 5.

This is clearly not the correct behaviour, as the game wasn't ranked in the first place.

Im sorry to inform you, but that was a ranked game. Look at your match history.

Sometimes you accidentally queue for Ranked and think it was a Normals or vice versa. It happens. It's unlikely you queued for a Normals, but it's probably impossible to prove unless you have a video of you selecting it.

Hmm I think this person is just trying to show off that they got to platinum
