Stop making this game easy for bad players. Stop appeasing bad players. Let these players quit if they want. Season 4 it took me 11 attempts to get gold. 10 failed promos till I passed. I never fucking cried about it, I just accepted that I wasn't ready for gold yet, and that if I deserved it I would get there. please stop catering to these fucking babies
Slickj24 votesIt really sounds like you're the one who is a "baby". It's not giving them free LP points, it's not boosting them a division...It just gives you a slightly better chance if you're win rate is 50%.
It's really not a big deal, stop making it one. And just because someone loses a series doesn't make them a bad player. It could have been a close game between the teams.
Joe Dredd1 votesIt's definitely free LP, unless you consider silver 5 0 LP and bronze 1 100 LP to be the EXACT same rank.

Bronze 1 with 100 LP = silver 3 Much better than silver 4 or silver 5
The LP system as a whole is stupid though. The change really doesn't do anything at all. This is just Riot pretending to care about promos complaints.
Blyted4 votesComing off of a promo series where first pick decided to try Morde for the first time ever and take him top followed up by a game with a Tristana who rushed fire cannon first then went static shiv you are out of your mind if you think promo helper is a bad idea.
Just because you get off on suffering through solo q games lost at champ select doesn't mean other people want to lose promos based on factors that have nothing to do with their individual skill.
Joe Dredd1 votesBecause you ONLY win based on your skill, but when you lose it's just the team?
Get over yourself m8, if you deserved to win those games you would've.
ScruffyTusks4 votesThe days of 1v5 carrying a game are gone. I think this is perfectly fine because you will lose more games from bad teammates than in the past. Season 3 and before, the game was much less team oriented(even though being a strong team player could carry your games), and people could carry themselves entirely on good decision making and individual plays/mechanics. Your point would be justified back then, but now with all the focus on cc and so many newer champs with crazy amounts of utility, a single teammate can lose you games prolly about 20% of the time.
Artum Tsumia3 votesThe key thing to remember here is that the League system masks your MMR/ELO, if you do make it back to the same promo you are most likely climbing the ELO Ladder, you just aren't progressing in your Leagues Ladder because you aren't getting your wins in the right order. This doesn't help bad players, because those aren't the people consistently making it to promos. This change simply makes the League abstraction of a players ELO less frustrating to progress with poorly timed losses.
Joe Dredd1 votesIf you fail a promo once, you don't deserve help on the next one. If you consistently get to promos but then lose in them, maybe you aren't supposed to be a higher rank.

promo helper shouldnt be a thing
While true, neither should any ranked system that isn't Elo.

They did the same with the jungle rework (casualize) in S2 to make it more easier for bad people.
Joe Dredd1 votesI feel like this is different though. Those changes would make the jungle easy for people who were bad at it and even easier for those good at it. This changes literally say "lol ur low rank and cant climb, lets fix that by making ranks mean even less"
JARmates1 votesYour sort of correct but what jungle rework did was make jungle easier and thus you always had to lane against another jungler instead of owning the jungle. Jungling was the hardest thing to master in league. All that effort of learning wasted.
SEKAI1 votesI wouldn't mind catering to noobs as long as they don't balance the game around their demands too.
They really should start balancing the game in the highest level with some minimal newbie compromises rather than the other way around.
outliving381 votesumm no, when was the last time you lost promos to an afk or rager? promo helper balanced afk's/throwers, i say it's good that they added it, almost essential
Joe Dredd1 votesIf no one ever afked or raged ( assuming you already never do) You would be at a lower rank. Stop fucking crying and stop being bad.
AntoniousMaximus5 votesIt's painful to see people as stupid as this guy. But it's funny at the same time
SEKAI1 votesumm no, when was the last time you lost promos to an afk or rager? promo helper balanced afk's/throwers, i say it's good that they added it, almost essential
Unless you aren't one of those people yourself, you would have in general 20% less chance having one on your team than the enemy's.
