Nothing better than losing your 4th promos series

Because your jungler and support (or anyone) want to try a champ for the first time in ranked...FOR THE 4TH TIME.

Riot, can we please get rid of these stupid promos next season? I'm fine with series, but promos should NOT be so hard by being high risk low reward. I don't want to hear about new runes, I don't want to hear about champion reworks/new releases, I want to hear Meddler come out in a new video, stroke his beard, and say, "We're reworking how the ranked system works, starting with the removal of promotional series being required to advance from each division to the next one.".

You're purposely stacked against, so your odds of winning are lower, and you ALWAYS get the most toxic people who are on a tilting lose streak. In all my games, I rarely get anyone toxic. But in promos? It just becomes a cesspool. I feel like I'm back in silver when it happens. Someone gives up at 10 minutes, another person is throwing out the "kys" to their jungler, someone else is typing "gg shit team" in all chat. It's a war zone. And what happens if you can get through all that? The rewards are bad too.

Oh you won? Here's 0 LP, don't lose or you're demoted.

You lost? Clearly you're trash, back to 64 LP with you!

It amazes me every time. Most other games, straight wins, but MAGICALLY something changes in promos. I'm not playing different champs, I've been sticking to Nasus/Shen in top lane. Hell, looking at my match history now, I have 6 wins in a row, which got me into my promos after my last one failed and I lost 2 more. Amazing, somehow nothing changed except my team mates being trolls/tilted. Hey Riot, fix your system, it's the worst one I can say I've played through. I'd say it's competing with Overwatch's system, but they don't do promo series so they got that on you.

I know someone is gonna come in with the "But how do people get higher ranks? You're not good enough" logic, and I could believe it if it happened once or twice, or I struggled to climb, but I've been climbing this whole season with what little time I get each day to play between college and work. I'm not struggling to get into Gold, I got it within a few games. I got from G5 to G3 in about a month. I get to my promos each time within 10 games. I don't think I'm the problem in this situation. I remember when streamers would do "unranked to diamond" series' but I haven't seen anyone do it now except for junglers (the most influential role in low ELO) and marksman, which have been relevant for most of these past 2 seasons. Only top laners I see play hyper carries, like . There's also one other factor, I noticed it in people who were boosted. They tend to still win games by getting carried and just providing basic things, like CC from a tank, or map pressure from a split push. Not saying everyone in high elo is boosted.

TL;DR Riot get rid of promos, they're testing luck, not skill. The games to get into the promos tested my skill, these games test my team mates.
