It's been here for some time now, and not even once before have I seen someone complain about it. But a couple of days ago someone critized it, and all of a sudden everyone does it?
It's always like this on the Board, people jumping on bandwagons. None complained about Riven before. Suddenly one person did, and now everyone does it?
Promos and series and stuff are just ways of artificially increasing the elo grind. Everyone knows this and has known this for a while. Ranked, on a game by game basis, is a coinflip. Only over a multitude (10+ games) can skill really start to show. Promos say "fuck that, get a win streak or get fucked."
Issues come in waves on the boards. One of two people will complain about something, get a lot of attention, and then people start to copy/people realize it's an issue.
The "reeeeee promos" posts have been coming on and off for years. Trust me, I've been here for four years.
Oh don't worry, PLENTY of people have complained about it in the past. I guess you just missed it was all.
It's because there are hard caps to how far people can climb without actually improving. Everyone hard stuck wants the ez way out and to remove promos. Bad top laners want to remove riven because she easily punishes mistakes.
From what I've seen, most people complaining about promos seems to be bronze,silver or very low gold players, but I don't know, it feels like people have a really weird ranked mentality.
That being the super focus on the "climbing" part and not "playing the game" part, it feels like people are staring blindly at the rank and nothing else.
Didn’t they add promos because people complained about people just getting lucky and going on win streaks and ending up in places they feel like they didn’t deserve, just another thing people forgot I guess.
There was a DoT Esports ad put up in google in recommended about removing promos. I pretty much see copy and paste what it says as an arguement and nobody can explain as to why.
