When climbing there's nothing worse than

winning nearly every goddamned game outside of promos, only to get into promos and constantly lose. Honestly, I've always hated promos. I'm a bit of a bad luck magnet, but I swear when I get into promos that shit is amplified tenfold. Either my favourite champions will be banned, forcing me into picking something that I'm not so confident on (More often than not, it'll be my OWN TEAM who bans them despite me asking them not to), I'll have a troll team, afkers, feeders, get matched against smurfs or whatever, or I simply won't perform as well.

I dread promos, seriously. They're scary and frustrating - not in a good way. I feel no happiness or exhilaration upon successfully compelling them - no, if anything I only feel anxiety that I will, sooner or later, be forced back into them...and a faint, somewhat bitter sense of relief that I've finally gotten what's mine...

/rant over.

I wouldn't ask teammates not to ban your champions. If they're having a bad day and feel like trolling, you just cut your chances even further by allowing them to target your only chance of carrying a game.

it took me 5 promos to get into plat 2 with scores of 18-8 and 10-2 . i had the unluckiest teams the game could possibly provide and when i did a clean sweep to plat 2, i realized what a waste of time that game mdoe is. absolutely disgusting.

im smurfing from diamond as well so add tht onto the confusion. 1st promos: 8-8 , 5-5 2nd promos: 9-3, 18-8 3rd promos: 9-6, ? all of these were losses that my 1-20 teammates caused.

You know, we remember the bad things over the good things. By far. Promos add a pressure to that, and because of how easy it is to pick out mistakes in anyone, we notice their mistakes and flaws over their great plays and strengths. In a Promo, we WANT perfection. We NEED it. Something that doesn't fall into that category for each particular person, (which, might I add, is impossible to encompass) is the worst. We Hate it, we despise everything about it. That's just straight thought processes.
