I literally am so tired of promotion games

Riots ranked climbing process unless you're a smurf and miles above the other players:

  • Go on a win streak
  • Reach promos
  • Get 35% win rate Zoe support who ints and says everyone is toxic, lose game
  • Its okay, you've been in promos before so you got that free win
  • Get a Malzahar that never wards, feeds for the first 20 minutes, then /all chats until game is over, lose
  • go back to 70LP because you didn't deserve to promote and get even lower mmr

Seriously, trying to put effort to climb out of an elo you're only marginally better than is cancer more than ever. I can play lane perfectly every game, but there's no agency anywhere anymore. I'd almost wager I have a 65% win rate instead of 55% if you remove promo games, you shouldn't get punished for trying to climb.

Do you do all your promos at once? I usually do one a night and I get success that way. If I do them all at once on one night it can get tilting.

Riot has actually done a lot to help you climb but I find that even if you have feeding team mates you can still use them for damage or human shields. Basically you can make trades where they die but you come out with the kill, I don't think this is a good way to play but what ever it takes to win sometimes or you can do your best to lead them and try to out macro your opponents.

The best feeling is when u are on last game of promo and u get 2 people with 30% win rate and enemy gets 2 smurfs with 90% win rate :))
