Ranked is actually so fucking rigged.

I swear ranked is so fucking rigged. I spent like 20 or more games just sitting in silver 2 winning and losing which was fine. Had decent teammates and we either played better or didn't.

AS SOON I GET INTO PROMOS my teammates turn into morons. 2 games in a row I had actually shit teams.

And this is every time I get into promos. Because going just climbing the rank itself isn't bad but everytime it happens in promos. You cannot tell me that 30 or more times I get decent teammates then as soon as I hit promos they turn to shit. That is rigged. Not just for me so many people experience this.

Yes, because Riot explicitly goes out of their way to screw with your promos, and that's totally not a flat-earth level conspiracy theory.

Technically Riot has in the past had spokespeople explain that,

"We do want to make sure you're ready for the rank you are trying out for, so of course your promos are going to be harder than normal games."

What what I've seen: Most of the time your team consists of same MMR players, but ones with low micro scores (high death histories, lower levels per game, less CS..... things League tracks on a micro scale). Not impossible, but not 50/50 either.

Please don't try to respond as an affirmative when you have no source material. Read the entire post before clipping one sentence to try to label someone as a conspiracy Theorist. Riot has actually said what you quoted.

And yes. They do generally know more than just "Win/Loss" data. What do you think your Stats page that was added to your account to compare to ranks/elos was constructed from? What do you think your end of season report is constructed from?

They do have the capacity to arrange teams by micro level performance.

P.S. I never play Anxious. Ever. I do play tired.

Your in silver? Well then you get promo helper. If you consistently make it to promos then its fine. you only need 1 win to pass vs 2 losses to fail.

Your going to fail promos. Accept it. Don't tilt. Don't trip it. Just climb back there. Play to win every game. Play your best. Play in a good condition. If you have the skill you will make it. If not? That's fine. Improve. Then you will end up with the skill to make it.
