Lost promos because enemy team did a remake?!?

Dart Later··40 votes·12,820 views

Ok guys this is just not fair.... I just lost promos because the enemy team did a remake and it counted as my loss in the promos... This really doesn't add up at all, how can someone from the enemy team have an impact on my score and my promos when our team did nothing wrong? Can someone please give me an answer?

before playing another ranked game, submit a ticket to support and they maybe can take care of your problem. just chill in normals and wait, sometimes it will take 24+ hours for them to respond

Thx man, I played another game after the loss and I lost again, that's how I found out I was "unsuccessful" in the series, cus I didn't think I had one loss already...I tried to contact the support but there was no specific category for this, I just chose 'technical issues'.... I'm curious if this happens to everyone or is it just a mistake? Because if it's normal to lose cus of enemy's afk, that's just harsh...

Let me know how this resolves, because this is bull shit and could be used as a griefing tactic by others in some way, not cool.

Totally agree, I don't know if anyone's gonna bother to do something or move me up a rank, since I'm only in silver, but I don't want this happening to anyone

Did you dodge the previous game? A couple of people in the past (it's been a while) have posted similar questions on the boards, and it turned out that they just dodged a game. Dodging counts as a loss in promos, but I don't think you get any notification until you complete a game. (I think it explains it in the pop-up that shows every time you try to dodge. But I don't know what it says, because of course no one reads it.)

If you didn't dodge, then that sounds like a pretty serious bug.

Thank you, it's probably that.... Yeah, I dodged a game cus our first pick went Yi mid and started to troll in the chat and when it was my turn to pick I just let the time run out...so that counts as a loss too? :(

Yeah... Riot doesn't want people dodging a bunch in their promos, trying to find the perfect team. But then games like yours happen... A lot of people just want one free dodge in promos (the rest still count as losses), but I think that would cause even more misunderstandings.

Now those kinds of problems really need to be taken into account, but apparently they don't care as much.

I got an answer from Riot support, it turns out I DID lose the promos because of a dodge, but i dodged because I had a troller in my team during picking, and i DIDN'T want to lose, so it's kind of ironic....they really should do something about trollers in ranked, it's fine if it's normal games but in ranked they are ruining someone's goal to progress and play with better players and improve...

The fact that this bug still exists to this day is crazy.
