Does anyone else have the issue where it isn't that difficult to get to your series, but once you get there then there is always that one person who it feels like they throw the game on purpose? Yes, it happens a few times in the main games beforehand, but it ALWAYS happens in my series on almost every tier.
I'm just curious if I'm just insanely unlucky or if other summoners have the same issue because this is getting hella old...
Fikuwu2 votesEveryone has the issue. It's just the fact that you're in your promos, that you'll notice every little mistake someone else makes, you'll probably THINK they threw on purpose, when in fact they're just bad. Just focus on your own gameplay.
Chibbity2 votesIt 100% isn't that though. I notice in non-series games as well. It honestly feels like in the series that everyone is tossed that anchor that just weighs everyone down. Rarely do I play with people who get 10+ deaths, but the second I get to my series then league is like "Here are 2 of them in a row! Oh, we also made sure they don't like to group and fight 1 v 5's to make sure your loss is secured." Most games people are generally receptive until series games. :(
Ashes Arise2 votesYep. When I'm in promos I'm 300% more likely to get a troll, and afker, or have everyone wanting to play the same role and most ppl forced into a role they don't want.
SoysauceBananna1 votesAFAIK everyone is qued by ELO. It's not as if you are more or less likely to be matched with people in a promotional series or not. Since my ELO has me right between two divisions I have been through tons of series lately and there is no noticeable difference. If you simply don't check your league points at all the only message you will get about being in a series is that display box. Just ignore the fact you are in the series and play to win every game. Playing differently because you are in a series or announcing to your team that you are in one doesn't really help.
ShadowSkree1 votesplaying promotions is just a gamble, you have to hope that the other team gets stuck with the ragers, quitters, leavers and not you
