Positional matchmaking and promos

-Ok, so I am a B4 Mid and Jg main. I finished last season at B1 and my highest rank was S5. So I started this season and got placed B4 in both my roles. Ok, fine. I started to climb. In the last week or so I reached 100 LP on both Mid and Jg. However, in both roles, I actually got to 100 LP through splashing. At the time I thought it was awesome, "Cool I don't have to play another match for the 3-5 LP I need to get to 100". I thought I was going to get to start my promos right away. That wasn't the case. -The first role I got was Jg. I won the game and expected to get my first promo win. But instead, I received 0 LP and got into my promos. It felt really bad to win a game to and to get no advancement out of it. -In contrast to that today I finally played my Mid game at 100 LP and lost. So now I'm down to 84 LP without getting to play promo games even though I got to 100 LP. I don't know about anyone else but to me, it feels really bad to either 1: Get to 100 LP through splashing LP, win a game and receive no reward/advancement. 2: Get to 100 LP through splashing LP, lose a game and not get to play promos at all. Is this system meant to work this way? If so I would like to ask Riot to please consider changing this as I'm sure I'm not the only one who has felt this way.

P.S. Riot I do love the rest of positional matchmaking and want to thank you wholeheartedly for it. Keep up the good work!

That is absolutely how it's working... and to further the point, if you lost a game and took the position to 0lp, then played your other role, lost and slashed... you could be demoted.... its a not very rewarding system....
