It's amazing how much I can stimously love and hate League of Legends. I would rather deal with clamping than deal with this every time I'm in a God damned promo match.

Then give the guy jungle and have a better shot at winning. You can take the role and guarantee they feed and you lose, or give it up and take a less optimal role for yourself but not have any trolls feeding.

It sucks but that doesn't mean you have to lose your match. You can report them afterwards.

Sometimes they don't even intend on trolling, they just want someone to dodge thinking they will, so that they can get a different lobby and get their role.

This is where I go ok, and just feed their lane :) I can get lp back but I don't take threats like that softly.

I don't care. It has happened 3 promo series in a fcking row. I have had about 5 promo series this season, I started only about a month ago, and EVERY SINGLE ONE I've had to attempt at least three times because of this kind of bullsht.

The kicker? EVERY TIME I skip at least one division, and I get nearly 30 LP per win. The system is trying to move me up, and the God damned promo system is delaying it. No, it won't trap me, but it's SO FREAKING IRRITATING and has no reason to exist.

All it does is arbitrarily choose two or three games that I am required to win to be promoted no matter how high my MMR is on no reasonable basis other than why the Hell not. I'll tell you why the Hell not. I am tired of luck boning me over, and I'm tired of ELO terrorists demanding role because I can't dodge or deal with a damned troll because it's a game the arbitrarily chose I have to win to get the rank the system already wants me to have.

Just consider promos to be irrelevant and you'll naturally rise through the ranks. They make 0 difference to your hidden MMR, why worry about them?
