This is why promos are so frustrating

Get into my promos (I was sitting at 99lp so more fell into them) and stomped the first game 14/4/14

Okay I'm feeling good. 1 down

2nd game, our jungler trolls saying he doesn't know how to gank (is literally what he told us) and refused to ever, and I mean ever leave the jungle. Zero assists at the end of the game. Did nothing. Lose that one

3rd game, I call everything but ADC, so of course I end up getting ADC (I somehow always get last pick in my third game of a promo.) Okay whatever, but then my Support never connects until about 10 minutes into the game, and I'm against Ashe/Alistar, so they just Freeze the lane and I can't even get close to farm. Finally he comes back, and too late, our top and mid have been bickering, and so our jungler gets angry about it and starts intentionally feeding.

I wish I could be annoyed at myself for not getting promoted, but can't, hard to feel good about promos when this is pretty normal. First game that was a normal game, I wrecked. Next two games I get a troll then an afk. What's the point of promos again? They don't prove anything except you might or might not get lucky enough to not get screwed out of losing them even when it is beyond your own control. It is frustrating, and sure they are looking at it for next season...but it ain't next season right now.

Trying to get out of silver and this will be the the 4th time I do my promos just for silver 3 (I'm sitting at 89 lp so one win and I'm back in the pointless garbage that is promos. Woohoo?).

My first game, we lost BIG TIME because of a God damn "balanced" Vayne taking on our entire team and winning. My second game, we annihilated them because it was a team of non-morons who actually played the game. My third game... I'm against LeBlanc, Yasuo, Braum, Jax and Tristana - THE EPITOME OF BROKEN - and my team is full of trolls and feeders (Galio mid, Shen supp, etc) and we get steamrolled. It's so frustrating because, even though I was near full build and could kill any of them within half a second, I couldn't do anything because I was always alone without a team and they had people who could quite literally CLICK ON ME and instantly kill me (totally fair and balanced Riot, I know)... I just don't understand how a rating based on random morons from the internet means anything.

And it bothers me to no end that the easiest, most braindead champs in the game VASTLY out perform anyone else. Katarina, Diana, Rengar, Zed, Yasuo, LeBlanc, Garen, Darius, Mord, etc. None of them require much of a brain, yet they're all able to just destroy anyone they want without ever dying. Meanwhile we have Azir, Ekko, Nid, Jayce, Tahm, Ahri and so on who actually take a little bit of skill to play, yet just pale in comparison to the clickers. I just don't see how that's fair or balanced in any world. T_T
