Oh ok so the previous 10 games that i play they didnt mean nothing huh? but if i win 2 games now i can say that i have the right to move on...
And riot see nothing wrong with this system....
A system that complete ignore the previous 10 games and give 100% weight on 2 games...
Yeah this need to be fixed in 2016
Epicusmaximo1 votesAgreed I would like to see an end to promos, not to mention it always seems easier to fall back down rather than climb up. Maybe my perception is skewed but that's how it feels.
I think the better fix would be to implement a personal ranking system that can skew your own LP up and down based on personal play. We can only hope the personal score system they implemented awihle back is a beta test for exactly that.
Kazaashi1 votesTechnically all of that is just window dressing. LP doesn't matter, Divisions don't matter, League's don't matter, they are all just shiny graphics. It's only there to make the climb more interesting. The only thing that matters is your MMR because that determines the level of opponents.
Hell, you could lose your Promo series 30 times, but if you maintain a decent winrate, like 60%, your MMR will climb and you can potentially skip the promo series and even entire divisions.
You need to think about you performance over a long series of games, like 30 or 40, and try to improve your play during those games. If you do that and just focus on improving your Win/Loss ratio, you will see a much easier climb.
PS: A "personal skill" Ranking system is a really, really bad idea. That is the whole reason that the Elo system was originally created, to eliminate the highly subjective "skill" ranking systems used in Chess and create something that is objective and backed by statistics.

Nah, they really don't. The shiny Ranking System makes it seem like those 2 are that important. (which is kinda what it was designed to do, reduce "Ladder Fatigue" and anxiety)
If you continue to keep a high winrate, the system will eventually just have you skip the promos.
