That's why it's Riot's goal to remove you from where the system says you belong and indiscriminately put you somewhere lower.

Before someone posts "But they'll climb back!": Sure, but what's the point of moving them lower in the first place,...

So they don't get complacent. Ranked rewards cease to be rewards if you don't work for them.

That's ridiculous. They worked for their rank like everyone else. They'll work harder to climb higher.

Some people don't want to climb higher.

Well, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it deal with the promo system.

I know how it works, I'm saying it serves no purpose worth putting the community through the frustration.

Promos are bad enough.

it serves a purpose, but it can be frustrating. There's a lot of details contained in that thread and pretty much every question under the sun has been asked and answered. Even if all you really wanted to do was vent I would still recommend you give the whole thread a read as there is some really useful info in there.

I'm saying the purpose it serves is negligible, and if it were outright removed, Ranked would be fine. I'm not saying it has zero positives, I'm saying the drawbacks outweigh them because of the plethora of problems. The same can be said for the promo system.
