How do I deal with ranked promo anxiety? This would be my fourth time getting to my promos for silver 4 and it always ends up with trolls, feeders, ragers, negative attitude, basically everything that can go wrong goes wrong in my promos and I am anxious about playing.
Play naked.
Either duo queue or just go for it. It's your fourth time now :P you know you can always get there again.
key words: play as a team
I know "don't be stressed" isn't really real advice but you kinda just have to learn to accept that there really isn't anything significant at stake. I know you might want to climb really badly but theres no real downside to failing promos. just win a couple more games a try again.
I just tried ranked again yesterday. One game of my promos we had a teleport ignite shaco support who died before 3 minutes. In the next one our team had a top lane udyr who got a tear and no damage items. What i'm tyring to say is that theres no point of being nervous. It's not up to you. It's up to god.
Don't be anxious ... because if you win your promos next year you will be downgraded from S4 to B4 anyways
So don't worry you will never advance unless you invest hundreds of hours and it will be taken away at the beginning of each year anyways, hench forth this game has lots of people playing ranked games that really could care less if they win.
Result = ranked LoL is just luck of the draw on which team gets the troll, feeder and/or afk
