Series games are the most infuriating thing ever.

Why is it that everything is fine and dandy, UNTIL i get to my series?

And i dont mean "i get bad players during my series"

no i get SUCIDAL players during my series. they're the guys who go to ranked and troll and take the whole team down with them? my previous game it was a leona who refused to just work with the team. She seemed to forget the very imoortant fact that she's not a carry and thus when we're sacing one of our towers for two of theirs, then its for good reason. instead she epsnt the game complaining and threatening to quit with a nice "enjoy your loss"

previous game wasnt too bad, game before that was HORRIBLE. teemo instalocked jg teemo, then switched his summoners and didnt communicate all game. meanwhile we had a sivir who decided it would be a great idea to be a condescending jerk to everyone. and if i could count the number of times she called me or somebody "retarded"....

muting these guys does nothing, because they are ACTIVELY stopping the game's progress.

And again they arent a serious problem UNTIL PROMOS.

Why do these things exist? why should i need to 3 games in a row to jump from cardboard 4 to cardboard 3? from Bronze-silver-gold i can understand but these things are torture. They're not fun. they make me hate everything about this game. and there is always that looming fear that if you fall to 0, and lose just one more game you have to win 4 more IN A ROW to get back to where you were.

four 40+ minute games... and if you lose ANY of those games you get more games. Nothing about this is fun. it's stressful. it puts you on tilt. it risks putting your teammates on tilt. the whole thing just breeds toxicity.

• tell me how many times have you had the promo rager? "OMG THIS FUCKING TEAM IM IN MY PROMOS YOU FUCKING NOOBS" then "All: REPORT ALL THESE FUCKING NU**************************" And as much as you want to report them, you cant help but feel sorry for them. they are the byproduct of a flawed system. Im not saying im challenger. Im not even going to say im good, but i would like to be able to lose because of myself and only because of my self. not because 2 people on my team decided to troll and feed. I can almost guarantee these promos are the reason people say elo hell exists.

There are multiple threads about the topic. i think it's time we ended this stupid divisional series nonsense.
