Designed to keep you losing

I have thought this for years but had no proof until i talked with a ton of people and herd the same thing from them. so you are winning a bunch of ranked games, you make it to your series and everyone on your team SUCKS DONKEY BALLS and you think why me? turns out it is you, and everyone that is playing in a series. it seems the games match making puts you with low win rate players so it makes it 1000x harder for you to advance don't believe me? write down the names of the players you get matched with in your next series and look at they're win rates. now compare them with the win rates of the players you normally get put with.... why would they do this you ask? because you wont keep playing a game you have mastered. people keep coming back for more to try and conquer the game (get out of bronze, silver). another proof, think of a lot of the streamers you watch they are higher rank right? and 80% of them play on 5 man pre-made teams HUUUUMMMM THAT'S FUNNY DON'T YOU THINK? also i just wanna say in my last series i won 1 game lost 1 game had not even started the 3rd game and was given a message "you failed to win your series" I GET BEST OF 3 YOU F****** GAME. this happened to me once before, let me know if it has happened to you too...... p.s for anyone who says "you just suck" 1 ok cool 2 that has nothing to do with what im talking about 3 one person can not carry 4 other people ( you could in old league of legends not in new TEAM IS EVERYTHING META META META! league) 5 faker himself could not win more then 50% of the games with the teams i have been put on 6 stop being a cocky holier than thou d*** head just because you got boosted out of elo hell by your diamond friends you box of tools you.... THE END

Yeah while I don't think there is a conspiracy I do think you're correct on the teammates being 100% garbage in your promo games.
The point of teammates being garbage is to see if you can carry them. However if everyone thought that way then you too would be garbage on their side of the fence and the other way around.
Most of the "good" players that played League left awhile ago. They knew the ranking system sucked ass and just stopped playing all together.
Why try to win 8-9 games(depends how much LP you get per game) to get to your promos and need to win 2-5//3-5 games just to move up from lets say Silver 4 to Silver 3 only to start back at 0LP. However you lose LP while you're in your promos makes 0 sense.

Lose LP in promo if you lose a game, gain 0 LP when you win games in your promo. # Great system eh!

"The point of teammates being garbage is to see if you can carry them" yes i agree 100% i'm not saying its all bad the way it is. just saying its not just bad luck that we keep getting low win rate players in our promos. but i will ad it is SOOOoooo much harder to carry a bad team then it used to be like 2-3? 4? years ago

its pure logarithmic scaling.

no1 is trying to keep you there. but rather you have to keep playing to eventually reach an asymptote which is very close to your skill level but still wont be a perfect representation.

IDK if the game has it in for us but I do know DQ and the matchmaking that comes with it are broken AF. I lost my series to platinum three times. The last time, my team of solos were put against a 3-man premade that had a plat 2 Akali. She got to lane against our gold 3 Yasuo. And that was the last time I played League. It has been about a month now. I missed it the first couple of weeks but now I'm over it.

This used to be a great game but this season has been awful. They keep trying to fix DQ when they should just delete it and bring back SQ. They know it's broken. That's why they're bringing back SQ for the top 2%. Because they are the face of League. They don't want the streamers bad mouthing the game.

It is designed to keep you at 50% win rate.. There are some very good challenger smurfs who have no problem climbing, playing hard carry 'noob' champs etc. But for the nomral player, who grinds his way up - the climb is very very hard and mostly luck based from what ive seen. Not to mention promo games are rigged. From 5 Non-promo games i either win all 5 easy, or have 1 MAX 2 with some weak/troll teams.. From 5 promo games i have 5 hard losses or 1 - MAX 2 insanely hard won victories... From all my 4 years playing lol, i probably had only 1 easy and 'free' win in promos.. all rest are so hard. I have been trying to win my g1 series for 3 times now.. always fail miserably and always get adc's who start engaging vs a soraka bot- without focusing her , dying to their adc and blaming me .. when i pinged himm 300 times not to fight , until soraka was low HP.. I always tend to get toxic , lousy mouthed children who jump 1v5 late game , die and say " team ?????? " when we were just respawned or something .. Maybe it's all in my head but this is the 100th time i reply to a thread or talk with friends about how hard my promos are, they all say they have same experience - which means something is off with the system.. Also i swear, everytime i lose promos, the next game is even worse with 1 afk-er at least ..as if rito system says " well u lost promos so u dont desrve this elo - here , having this player who is reported 500 times for rage quitting "
