So Promo series should probably be fixed soon?

My last post was out of frustration, and today's is even more so. Yesterday I got demoted after ONE loss at 0 LP from silver 4 to silver 5. Nevermind that it took me 9 promo series just to get into silver 4. Obviously I belong there if I keep getting into my promo series with no problems whatsoever.

Every promo series, I get to deal with absurd feeding. I've yet to play a single promotional game where someone hadn't fed to the point where it makes it almost impossible to win the game. I know everyone is going to tell me to get better, play a better champion, choose a different role (I main support and play a lot of Thresh). But why should I? The outcome of the game is going to be the same if the person feeding is playing any role.

I can't do anything about my most previous games, either. My Ashe went 2/12. My udyr went 2/9. I'm sitting at a comfortable 1/2/9, wondering how and why my teammates are diving towers 3v1. Is anyone else experiencing this in promotional matches, or is it just me? Do I just have incredibly bad luck???? I just don't get how I can play 9 promo series, finally get promoted to the spot where I feel my skill level matches (silver 4), and then get demoted probably so they can watch 9 more of my promo series for fun.

I don't really know how to feel about this ranking system. Well.... I do. It's terrible.

Also, I had no choice for General Discussion Board under my options. So this is where I'm posting it.

I would like to see the small promos leave so that the only promos that exist are between leagues and not divisions. It would make life so much easier and it would make it so that people like me wouldn't have to be unlucky. I just played another promo match and I had a riven jungle go 2/13 and a top heimer go 5/11. I really cannot do anything about that!

The only way to fix promos is to just delete them and base promotions off mmr

everyone hates promo's that they have completed before, riot needs to implement a unlock system so that once you've reached a teir you don't ever have to promo for it again after you tilt and drap a teir. getting promo locked is elohell because your winning games, but not LP, whichs makes it feel like a waste of time and exceedingly frustrating.

I'm not entirely sure what that number is.
Honestly, that sounds too good to be true. But I'm probably willing to try anything to be able to be on the other side of things for once.... As in the winning side.

I just would like some confirmation that I'm not the only one this is happening to. Really? 10 promo series just to move up one division...

I'm confused... you say "fix promos", but just complain about team mates... what are you asking to be fixed? Are you just complaining, because this thread sounds like you're just complaining?

Man, all you can do is make sure and na.op.gg your teammates and the other team to see who their weak link is.... then go hammer him hard until he (hopefully) folds. Know who is the weak link on your team, as well.

Why do you think it takes extra 30 sec to a minute finding your promo matches than your average queue?

Your division doesn't matter, m8, if you have high MMR, you will eventually climb, if u don't...

I'm hoping that maybe I don't have to go through another 10 promo series just to get promoted again. I have no problems getting into my promos, but getting through them is always a really tough struggle. I know no one really KNOWS how the promo system works, but from what I'm gathering, it's putting me with people who typically feed in order to see if I can carry the game. I can't.

Sounds like you might be on riots "fu ck this guy" list. My suggestion is change ip, make/buy a new account, reset comp back to factory and reinstall lol. Might get you off their list.
