Get rid of promos, Riot. For the love of christ.

The intentional difficulty spikes aren't fair, Riot. You're intentionally putting me up with shit team mates that make it impossible to win with these promos and the quality of games between normal ranked matches and promo matches is so visibly worse than I never go into a promo game with confidence. Not because I think I'll perform badly, but because I know your system is going to give me the worst inbreds possible so it's near impossible for me to make it through the game unscathed.

Like how do I get through a game where I got my top laner, who had his role taken by my jungler, inting because I talked my jungler out of inting, all while my mid laner is blaming me for inting when I have THE LEAST DEATHS ON THE TEAM? My team literally chose for me that I should lose my promo match. Nothing about my skill or decision making went into it. Worst part is that something ELSE is gonna happen next game. I know it is, because promos are a fucking clown fiesta on purpose.

DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE SHIT PROMOS. They're literally the worst part of the ranked experience...worse than provisionals.

Because "Solo Queue is competitive and pre-mades are filled with toxic 5 mans that just spam report people every game".

I don't even care that we have Solo Queue over Dynamic Queue. I'm mad that for some reason people don't understand just how shit this community is. I lost a game literally because some neck bearded piece of shit decided he was too mad to not int, but not logical enough to just dodge. In my promos. What can I even do about it?

Now I'm in another game and someone IMMEDIATELY starts threatening to afk...over banning Rakan...WHEN HE HAS A BAN. FUCKING FUCK PROMOS.

I've had the same problem as you & I understand. But promos are an essential part of the ranking up system so that people can't just move on without being ready for the next rank. But if riot could fix it that way you get teammates who are the same state as the people you are facing then it would be definitely more fair & not such an upward battle. All I can say is play to the best of your ability, raise your mmr, & main a carry champ until people have enough brain cells to help carry the team to victory.

If Riot didn't put me on "Toxic Feeder Rager Island 2.0" for 2 to 3 games as a reward for performing well, MAYBE promos would be decent? MAYBE?

Right now I'm getting shit teammates and I am in the middle of silver 4. Like, the worst teammates possible. I'm not talking about feeders, I'm talking about the idiots that aren't seriously trying to win or are tower diving and giving people double kills and blaming teammates that aren't even possibly responsible for the incident.
