Its weird how mathematically its harder to go from silver 2 to silver 1 than silver 1 to gold 5

One win is required to get to 100 lp which gets you to your promos

Then you have to win 2/3 of your promos. (When going up a division)

So that means you have to win 3/4 or 75% of your games.

When jumping a metal however.

One win is required to get to 100 lp and you have to win 3/5.

This mean overall you need to win 4/6 or 66%.

Really Rito

You made going up a division harder than going up an entire metal.

Just have it be you need to win 1 game at 100 lp and you go up a rank, meaning you have to win 2 games in a row which is still a 25% chance of success (if each game is a 50/50) (or basically the current promos with less games).

Your math is off.

2/3 (66.66666%) =/= 3/4 (75%) and 3/5 (60%) =/= 4/6 (66.66666%)

You have to win one game in order to get to promos

That game shouldn't count. It's not a part of your promotional matches. The ones that count are the 3 or 5.

You can do "math" like this all day to justify your failed promos, but until you acknowledge and attempt to improve on the things you are doing to hold you back, you will never climb consistently.

You have to lose 5+ games in a row around 0LP to get demoted, or have a really low MMR compared to your ranking for that to happen as soon as you hit 0LP.

You can't look at the thing that happend right before something bad happens and blame that. You have to look at the past 20-30 games to see what set you up for the demotion.

It's like yelling that Kat is OP cause she penta'd your team, and ignoring the 30-40 seconds of kiting and poking that your team let the enemy team do to you before.

I don't understand how you calculate there's an extra game for reaching 100 LP. When you hit 100 LP, you qualify for a series. Nobody says "I am in a series, I have 96 LP", because that's retarded. You aren't in a series until 100, and then you have to maintain 100 LP throughout a series to move up. And moving up a "metal" is far more prestigious than moving from Silver 4 to Silver 3. So naturally, they should make it harder because moving an entire "metal", because more reward comes from that. I don't believe you understand what you even typed..
