Promos should be played against players of the rank you're going to, regardless of MMR

It doesn't seem fair to me that if you're a Silver 4 player with Gold 2 MMR, you have to play your Silver 3 promos against other Gold players. Meanwhile a Silver 4 player with Silver 3 MMR will play their promos against other Silvers. The fact that LP gains/losses are weighted based on MMR doesn't matter when you have to win 2/3 or 3/5 games to go up.

but you gain way more LP (like 30 sometimes) for having very high MMR so it takes fewer games and you have a chance to skip divisions.

If you're silver 4 with gold 2 mmr, you'll go right to silver 2, or maybe even silver 1 after your series though.

Would you rather have a slow, but much too easy climb with completely unbalanced teams? Or fair games, that result in you climbing quickly?

There's also the other players to consider. How would that be fair to them at all?
