Pay to get to ranked series

With the ranked LP system as it is I always seem to get in the 90+ LP range. With never knowing the kind of teammates you are going to get, this makes being so close to getting to a promo series very frustrating. I think Riot could introduce a option to pay lets say a $1 to get to a series once you are in that 90 + LP range. This could be a great way to keep the game free but create a revenue stream for riot that doesn't exist. Also could help with some frustration of the ranked system and matchmaking. I see people spend rp all the time on that stupid ARAM skin boost. I think people would no doubt spend that to get to a promo.

While it would help ever so slightly with toxicity, it defeats the purpose of the whole ranked system. If you're paying to get promoted, you're paying to win, which is not what this game is. I don't know if you're talking about boosting your LP by 10 or completely bypassing your promos (pay to get from gold 2 to gold 1), but it would defeat the purpose. It takes skill and teamwork to get your LP up and unfortunately that means you will have to deal with those who don't care as much about that.

Additionally, it's not a feasible price at all, $1 would not be worth it for Riot. As you get higher tiers, LP gets more and more valuable. I'd say to get 10 LP from B4-B3 might be worth a dollar but to get from P2-P1 would be easily worth $30. It would have to increase as you got better.
