How do you react? Do you stay calm or do you freak out? =D

I'd say I'm more of the:

if I lose the promo I'm pissed
if I win the promo I'm relieved

Mostly because I've never gotten in to a promo series and felt like I wasn't ready to advance - so when I'm successful it's not so much a surprise as it is a case of "glad nothing went wrong."

To be fair though, the one promo series I've lost so far this season I wasn't upset - I played not great in each of the two games and thus felt like it was a deserved failure.

Lucky you, I lost my promo to Plat 1 NINE TIMES within 3 days. Then I got demoted and lost my Plat 2 Promo FIVE TIMES within 2 days. In such cases I go on my smurf account and need to stomp some smurfs. ;D

To be entirely fair, I've only tried promos 3 times this season (so 2 for 3). I've only played about 45 ranked matches in total.

Last season I only played about 65 ranked games, I lost my first two promo attempts then won the next three (so 3/5).

Ok. That makes sense. However, I think playing ranked is more fun because people play more serious compared to normal games. Well, as long as not half your team is Silver 5, Gold 5, Plat 5 oder Diamond 5. This are the biggest troll elos ever. And Diamond 5 is even outshining even more.

I agree mostly. I just don't seem to be able to play consistently, and don't like going back to ranked after a break from the game. Which means I come back and play normals. Then I seem to go on huge winning streaks in normals and get it in my head that if I go to ranked I'll start getting bad teams to balance it out and go on a losing streak. So I end up waiting until a losing streak before I return to ranked, which sometimes (like now) takes more than a month. So by the time I get back to ranked I play for a week or so and then, surprise, I get busy IRL and leave and the cycle repeats. Results in me playing very few ranked games :P

To be honest, if you enjoy ranked whenever you Play it, just stop playing normals completely. Then you will not have the ranked breaks after being on winning streaks in normals. Did you check what Elo the People are that you beat in Normals?
