Like seriously.
I hate doing so well and getting on a hot streak to promos. And then when I get there, I ended up winning one flawlessly, losing the second from an actual really good close game, but losing the third because somebody D/Cs or AFKs.
Then I get shot back down just to have to grind my way back up to promos for it to happen all over again.
Am I the only person who is annoyed by this system? Does anybody have any better suggestions? Maybe I'm just ranting too much?
Ugh.
DarkDeamonDragon2 votesWhen I was in my promos I was also on a hot streak. My 1st promo game ended with an AFK on my side. Mentioned it was my promos and someone on the other team took pity on me and duo'd with me for the next match. We won! Gave me the confidence to go into my final promo game and win again!
There are some really awesome people that offset the bad ones. :)
Noveon1 voteswell for 1. I don't think people should lose lp or a promo game if some is dced, but only the person that dc should lose lp. 2. I don't think its fair to gain or lose lp off of wins and loses. They have the champion master skill ranking why not use that in ranked and when you get to your promo who need an average grade of B and above or make it higher with each ranking. I think this would be a better solution because if you main support , tank jungle, or even carry but you team feeds the crap out of other players enough that Africa would go from 3rd world problems to 1st world. But that will never happen.
iLuma1 votesExactly. I main support, but after I realized I either didn't have carries who would synergize or if I had another lane feeding, I couldn't carry myself, especially since I mained Janna. Every game would end up with me losing and having a KDA or 4/0/27 or something.
So for ranked, I started learning and picking up other lanes. I have a Rank 5 Shyvana and I kick butt with her. But even so, a team can still throw and it makes it seem like my ranking is boo-boo. I dunno, maybe I'm just being sensitive.
Noveon1 votesWell I'm bronze II and I main support, but when I do try to play a carry my team feeds. So I feel stuck with no hope of playing more challenging matches, so I feel like if you get a B in the game you should gain lp. Now if you get an S rank you should gain a lot more lp. To me its something riot can do but just wont.
MacDthree1 votesagreed. I think it should be a point system. Earn X amount of points, move up. lose X amount of points. move down.
But. I said this on an earlier post to somebody else - its just too good of a theory to not pass it around.
Once upon a time I read a forum that somebody posted where he stated that Riot has promos so that you only win or lose how ever many you should to "keep you playing" to make you keep trying to move up.
The guy backed it up with all sorts of math and probabilities and test matches where he showed how much more likely you are to get matched with people who have been previously reported for negative / feeding / afk during your promos than you are when in your usual ranked matches.
