Suggestion: Promos should give champ select priority in solo Q

iainB85··2 votes·348 views

How frustrating is it to carry hard from 0 LP to Promos, only to get 5th pick twice in a row and get forced into support, a role where you have far less potential to win the game for your team (especially at lower elo).

Combined with the fact that in promos a dodge counts as an automatic loss, why not at least give people in their promos top 2-3 pick automatically?

Maybe this rule could only apply to gold and lower, as it might cause problems as the player pool gets lower -- but seems like a nice QoL change to me.

Chances are you dont play support enough to be good enough to carry.. I've had some godly supports carry games.. just not with kills.

I guess you missed the point.

The support example is because usually 5th pick is support.

However, even if you were a support main, having pick priority in your promos would give you a higher chance of taking support.

It's win/win no matter what role you play.

our take out promos in general, shouldnt have 3 games that matter to you more than anyone else when the difference in mmr is like 15

Get good at support then.

I've gotten so fed as support in gold games that I bought Triforce on tank supports. No joke. You can climb regardless of role if you are good enough.

I hate being first pick, at all times.
