Something has to be done about promotion games.
Almost went to silver 1 (thinking yay i'm about to be gold) and then got a huge losing streak (some of it my fault was on tilt). Demoted to silver 3 from silver 2 and proceed to lose my promos 4 times in a row because of AFKs, trolls, complete noobs feeding everywhere and losing all their lanes with bad picks like paper yi jungle (yeah the type the thinks he can just pick yi and press Q to win). Even lost games in the champ select where I already knew we had lost because of our troll comp was weak against their META picks.
Mix the fact that I was on tilt (extremely frustrated) and getting stuck with the worst people ever, it made me demote to silver 5. Now i'm in my promos for silver 3 and my first game I get ashe TOP (she goes AFK the 7 first minutes and comes back after feeding their fizz) and two other trolls who pick gnar and khazix bot and feed their jinx 8 kills in no time. The funniest part is that I was also getting HUGE lag spikes where i couldn't even move and I normally NEVER lag in this game.
HOW THE HELL ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO CLIMB OUT OF SILVER IF YOU ALWAYS GET UNLUCKY WHEN YOU ARE IN YOUR PROMOS? WHY THE HELL DOES THIS GAME MATCHES YOU WITH THE WORST POSSIBLE PLAYERS WHEN YOU'RE ON A WIN STREAK SO YOU CAN GO DOWN AND DOWN AGAIN?
in b4 you have to carry yourself out.
That's bullshit plain and simple. I'm now 100% certain that all you need is a bunch of luck. Tons of people got to gold and even plat WITHOUT carrying hard. I win 1vs1 games against my gold friend and I do well in 5vs5 matches when we are against plats. Even got a few compliments from a team with plats saying how good I was with malz.
Ranked games are broken period.
