This is the kind of game I encounter in promos, Riot please reconsider dodge=loss in promos

I don't know where to throw this thread because it is mainly a complaint about promos, but it does involve a bug in 8.8 so I will leave this here

First thing first, a game breaking bug: Trundle jungle, Kaisa and Rakan bot leashing, the blue buff just kept switching aggro between Trundle and Kaisa until it reset. Then Kaisa left, blue buff still switching aggro between those two even when Kaisa is in lane, this kept going for long enough for enemy jungler to do 2 buffs while Trundle still was doing blue.

Second thing: The Kaisa and Trundle combo was a mistake in champ select due to someone not having a champion so they failed to swap, interestingly enough, they decided to not dodge and play it out. While I want to dodge the game just to be safe because there's no reason to risk when two people just randomly switch roles. But I can't, only because I'm in promo, now is there a reason why we have to take a loss when we dodge in promo? This is entirely unfair, people who are in promo are just automatically held hostage no matter what happens, dodge is not a serious offense so why are we punished harder when it matters the most? I know some people are going to pull the "The loss doesn't affect your MMR, so you will eventually gain it back". This is the fucking promo we are talking about, i don't care if my MMR isn't being lowered by a dodge, if I don't win a promo I'm never going to the next tier.

Wouldnt that mean people in promos would keep dodging till they get best possible teamcomp with players with great performanes. Hell i would be dodging and checking op.gg till i get 2 smurfs in team at least...
