They are just their as a rigged way to artificially make climbing harder. They do not belong in an MMR based Ranked system and are always the worst games i will play. Win tons of games in a row get to promos get slaughter back down to 64lp. Fun fcking system. how about when someone gets to 100 they progress? that would be more logical. Instead fight a game where the enemy team is wayyyyy better than the one you get and your opponent will most likely way out scale you. Cant let you have a fair match now can we. Wouldnt want people to climb too easily. Fuck off riot. [slayer-jinx-unamused]

If anything, it is too easy to climb this season. There are far more players in plat and diamond this year than any previous years.

The promo games do seem to be harder than non-promo games... the OP isn't wrong about that.

I was 30 wins, 3 losses until I hit one of the larger promo games (one of the 5 game promos to go to a higher elo), and immediately I went into a 3 game lose streak, then easy win to re-trigger the promo a second time, in which I won, lost, won, lost, and then won.. so I got promoted. But still, that's 5 losses, more than all the losses I've had in like my past 50 games. And this isn't the first time... I've seen this many times before during promos, especially the bigger promos. In the past this used to really mess with me, and I'd change my strategy thinking I was doing something wrong. But now I know it's just rigged during promos, so I've learned not to change my strategy or change anything just because of having lots of losses during promos. So don't downvote people who believe promos are rigged. They are not wrong. And knowing it's rigged has been one of the big things that has helped me climb, because by knowing it's rigged, I know not to change my strategy, because I know the losses aren't my fault and changing my champ pool or whatever isn't going to help.
