Can we do away with promos please?
Look, I'm not here to argue the validity of promos or how they do or do not reflect your skills as a player; and I'm sure Riot has a reason as to why they do things the way they do things.
But, promos are just... not fun.
They're not unfair, or bad design, I think, but they're just not fun to be a part of.
I stay pretty untilted losing a game, because I know I'd be playing hundreds of them, and one game doesn't mean anything. But all of a sudden, the promos hit, and NOW there's one game I HAVE to win! It's silly that I have to suddenly put more importance over this one random game over the rest.
Granted, if I was good, I'd just win it. But even when I win it, I don't feel good. I don't feel rewarded. I just feel like I survived a car accident, and I don't look forward to the next one.
So let's do away with it, huh? Just make it so at 100 LP + 1 win you get promoted, at 0 LP + 1 loss you get demoted.
Of course, I'm not a designer, so I might just be wrong about the whole thing. If I am, however, I'd like to hear the thoughts of someone from Riot. Perhaps an explanation would make me feel better about promos in the future.
