Seriously, why do we still have promotion series?

They feel arbitrary.

They are not enjoyable.

They do not add any depth to the ranking system.

They only add unneeded stress that's even worse than the 'elo anxiety' that Riot implemented tiers to eliminate in the first place.

Riot's only excuse for them is "It feels rewarding to pass", but that's only because nobody likes them in the first place.

**Removing them would not make it any easier or harder to climb. It would just be removing unnecessary bullshit. **

it determines weather you really need to move up. or you need to stay in the division.

MMR already does that.

Tiers/division are just a mask over your MMR.

They don't say whether you need to move up or stay. They say "hey, this time I guess you're going or not".

It hardly about what you're capable of, and much more about whether or not you happened to win or lose a few games in a row.

better question why do we have ranks? why not just flat MMR? It would make it a lot clearer for people in "elo hell"
