There I was, playing my promos to Platinum this morning. I wanted to pick Braum , my go-to support pick. However, I was last pick and someone else on the enemy team picked Braum. Furious as a mad bull, I locked in Alistar . I was 2-1, playing against a Vayne who I laned with the previous game, which we lost horribly. This Vayne was 2-2, also trying to get to Plat. I knew their playstyle and their true skill level, which was comparable to a decent Gold player, not deserving of Plat. In a desperate attempt, Vayne pissed off my team, offering me any skin I wanted if I would throw the game, even Spirit Guard Udyr. My team was pushed to win to spite the Vayne and to get me to Plat. We ended up winning the game after faltering early game. As I went to the end game screen to celebrate the well deserved victory, all was black. Riot was doing live maintenance at the time. Apparently, the game was still going, acting as a "ghost game". After the smoke settled, I was still Gold 1.

Definitely something Riot would do, riot doesn't make mistakes remember? Cough DYNAMIC QUEUE Cough SOLO QUEUE, COUGH would be released 2 weeks after dynamic queue? COUGH 3 months of radio silence later, "it may not be able to co-exist with dynamic queue" COUGH
