Promos 100% rig your games

Im so done with ranked ladder, promos 100% rig your games. I get good enough teammates to work with to climb.

But as soon as I reach that promo? Unbalanced games.

I got paired with 4 teammates who all have a sub-50% winrate,

Their winrates? 40%, 15%, 30%, 36%.

Thats not balanced. And it's not coincidental either. No way in hell a matchmaking system for a game this popular deems these two teams equal in any way.

What were the enemies winrates? Oh, almost all above-50%!

45%, 50%, 67%, 67%, 50%

Hmm, I wonder if this might be artificial difficulty? I would honestly not be surprised if this was linked to purchases either. Buy RP and your promos will go off this system!

Old ELO worked as a system, you just have to win your games, not have artificial difficulty and rigged losses since you didnt pass those three games! Yes, this did happen. Go check yourself.

Entire ladder is artificial difficulty. Riot wants people to play lots of games. That is their goal.

Even worse, Riot knows people will keep playing lots of games. So now they can minimize what they give us and continue making us play.

It is ruining the fun out of this game, It is literally being biased towards the people who have the most time *The Teen/Pre-teen part of the community. Instead of giving you 8 50/50 games and 2 unwinnables, It gives you 2 50/50's 4 sure wins and 4 sure loses, Making the crevice as narrow as they can without putting a complete halt to climbing.

Who the hell has a 15 percent win rate? What are you, a b5 in your promos to b4 or something?

Someone who was very clearly boosted to platinum in one month after not playing for a while. Its clear looking at their statistics.

Which game?

The one I lost, fairly obvious.

I'm confused. The Jinx is Plat V, but has a 48% win rate and is 60+% win with certain champs. The Ahri is Plat V with 51.28% and has 60% on several champs. The Malph and Morg also have decent win rates.....

I'm guessing the Ahri? But what would be the point? She was already Gold by October (albeit low)...... Why boost to Plat? (she sure has an absolute climb that's visible, but I don't understand the purpose).

Because she wanted the ranked rewards

What were reward for going beyond gold? I thought all rewards were basically Gold.
