Promotion series should be removed between individual ranks

Keep 5 game promos for division series (eg g5>p1) only.

Promotion series...

Create incentive for trolling/not trying

"I just got promoted idc if we lose"

Work against you climbing

if I lose a game at 2 lp I should be demoted, if i win at 97 lp i should be promoted
cant dodge
cant go above 100lp in promos (win, loss, loss puts me at ~60lp but loss, win, loss puts me at ~80lp?)

**Are fundamentally frustrating **

feels like games aren't balanced well/balanced against you
getting demoted is frustrating because it requires 4 straight wins to get back to where you were (why do I get placed on 75lp?)
getting promoted is relieving more than it feels rewarding

Promote people based on their lp. If I win a game at 90 lp, promote me after the game and put me on 10 lp in my new rank.

if you ask me just do away with divisions entirely except Master + Challenger, create a points system like challenger for the ladder so everyone starts at 0lp and the break-rewards points are say 1500- (equal that to gold for the season long skin) or whatever MMR it is, riot know this obviously we do not, we only have our estimates.

upon reaching...whatever ELO master is you gain a ''entry promotional series'' for master say 2800- (?) keep the win/loss the same and the MMR system the same but visually your climbing a ladder.

master tier ONLY plays master tier, the 10placement games decide your invisible MMR and NOT your starting point, everyone, even challengers are started at 0lp, or give a 1000lp target for promotion to master tier and of course the team you play Vs is all masters and people YOU are matched with are LOW master tier players close to or exactly you ELO, make it a best of 5 series.

so say using lolking/op.gg

0-500 = bronze 501-1000 = silver 1001-1500 = gold 1501-2000 = plat 2801-3500 = diamond

Series for master.

start again at 0 to reach challenger promotion, you must catch up to the current challenger lowest lp. so that many be another 100 or 1300 (highest-ish right now) then you have a best of 5 again.

release only in flexque for testing and only release to soloq when ready.
the ''break point'' gold etc can be highlighted in colour(s) akin to them, you still get banners but the ladder is one big climb-fest.

Problem being riot doesnt care. In fact its prooven that people who make it to desired rank play less. Making it less likly to see bundle/ deals and make less money. Any potential to make less money for these greedy a$$ clowns. Will steer clear of. GL tho
