Ranked Promotions Issue

How are you suppose to win ranked promotion games when you end up with a bunch of unranked noobs against a team who rank completely out balances yours. I am not trying to blow steam but unranked players who are in their starting promotions should not be placed with people who are in their promotions for advancement. You are essentially chopping off a leg for the rest of the players. I just played my last promotion game and i had 2 unranked players on my team and a bronze 1 when i am playing for silver 1. The other team had 2 gold players one of which was gold 3 and the other was gold 5, 2 silver players and 1 unranked. how the f is this balanced at all. The final score of the game showed every thing. i was 15/8/1 while the rest of my team was 1/12/6, 2/3/4, 2/11/6 and 0/5/3. guess what, the unranked player on my team... 2/11/6. the support couldn't help feeding with the adc. I am just saying Unranked players in their starting games should not be in a players promotions who has worked hard for their advancements games and they get gimped by a player who has never played a ranked game before. And for all you new players who dont know how to get this information.. LOLking.net gives all player information, including your teams and the opponents team when your playing.

Also this is only an issue with the lower elo's as a newly level 30 player in his first 10 games would not be placed with players in the plat or diamond elo's.

I would say stop playing until Riot figures out another ranked system that makes more sense but 6 years and counting and still not a single change to a bad system. Don't know what to say really; other than I'v been where you are now and it's annoying.

Calm down, if your good enough to get to promos, your good enough to beat them

Your MMR will be higher than your current league / divisionwhich is why your facing people of a tougher nature / higher ranked, the people who are unranked have 1500mmr (high silver low gold) as that's "average" for most players supposedly so the system starts your MMR in placements around that mark and you get placed somewhere between bronze and gold depending on the outcome.

As for unranks most are probably smurfs but even if their not when YOU started ranked you was in the same MMR position so you really have no right to moan as these players are just fine, there are worst ranked players in my experience.

As for team compositions are you duo aqueong, soloqeuing ?

Now depending on the timing and position you was in at 15/8 I'm sure if you knew how to carry at that MMR level you would of done you probably looked for fights and didn't play strategically enough or got lost on what to do.

And for unrankeds again in promos like you said at diamond or plat you jutcwill not see them it's near impossible however in silver 3/2 it's where I found the most difficult climb as the majority of people got placed around that mark and a lot are new players, so take advantage of it and just because there unranked doesn't mean there not as good as you

You do realize that new accounts start in the middle of Silver correct?
