Why promos might be so hard sometimes

For winning promos you need 2 wins out of 3 games or 3 wins out of 5 games. That does not look hard and statistics are that the odds of winning promos are actually 1 chance out of 2 ; just like winning a single game So in theory, promos are not harder than just gaining some lp But in fact it is harder To have an access to promos, you need 100 lp. You never have more than 100 lp, so you need to win a game first before promos So it was 2 win out of 3 and 3 out of 5, but now it's 3 out of 4 and 4 out of 6 But that's not it Since you can't have 100 lp~~ and loosing promos will make you have 67lp,~~ and because you win/loose 20 lp a game, to have the 80 lp required to go into promos after winning a game, you need to win first ; because if you lost that means you went from 100 lp to 80 but you can't have 100 lp EDIT : actually I'm wrong here (thank you btw Live2LetDie) if you loose promos you loose the amount of lp you loose for a regular game. But still, if you did not just lost promos before getting back into it, what's following is true So in fact, to win promos you need to win 4 out of 5 games or 5 out of 7, and the odds of this happening is much lower than 1/3

A solution I have now is to make promos games as a whole so they don't make people loose lp individually So that way you won't have to win a lot of games if you had really bad promos, just one will be enough Because the problem with the winning streak that would be required to access to promos again, is that later there's very probably a loosing streak and then you get back to 40 lp or something
