Remove promos and series

Why does this game still base your entire skill level on team wins and losses? Why does it place more importance on specific matches that determine if you will climb or stay where you're at?

You can play exceptionally well and climb to 100 LP over and over, and each time you go into promos you get trolls, afks, etc... causing you to lose the only matches that hold any weight, and keeping you down.

To me, if you are able to reach 100 LP, it means you're winning more than losing, and that enough is proof that you should be climbing, not hitting a wall.

It's like 1 step forward and 2 steps back. You slowly climb your way up in LP only to be knocked back down by the fate of 2-3 games. I know they were added to make certain games feel more "important" or whatever, but honestly they are just stressful and I'm sure a lot of people don't look forward to them.

i dont have an issue with the idea of promos but needing a 66% win rate to get thorough seems a little steep

My issue with promos is that I can be gaining 30 LP for a win and only losing 4 for a loss, can LOSE A GAME WHILE AT 100LP AND STILL EARN MY SERIES OFF OF IT, but still have to fight through a series to promote? maybe having a series from Tier to Tier (IE: Silver I -> Gold V) but a smooth transition from division to division upon breaking 100LP?
