You know what's worse than losing?

Getting a rank you're excited about and feeling confident, then after going 1-2 in a new division to be at 0 LP and you get absolutely wrecked in your main role.

I didn't drop back to my past division, but I'm definitely in normals for a moment because I got crushed harder than I think I ever have been lol. Played jg vs Jarvan and he got fb mid on a level 2 gank, stole went top after mid and burned top's flash, then managed to be at the same lane within 3 seconds of my arrival on the first 5 ganks I tried to make while also invading to push me out of my jungle, steal some of my camps, and getting a kill bot lane in addition to counter ganking every single move I tried to make. I wasn't even playing against a Nunu and I was just told "Hey, you. You don't get to play league today. Get the fuck out of my jungle, I don't care if it's on your side of the map, I'm taking it anyway."

It just, it hurt so bad. I didn't know a game could go that bad.

why would that be bad or worse? You realize the promo system is to just feel good about yourself right? The difference between mmr of the division barley higher than you is so minuscule that you are still playing vs the same players.

for example just because the players are plat 1 and you are diamond 5 it wont mean the diamond 5's are harder or will be harder in the first few games. It wont be harder till you actually make a difference in progress for example from plat 5 - diamond 5 is a big difference but plat 3 to diamond 5 is basically nothing.

Yeah, I know. The 2 losses I had were duo w/ higher ranked friends so I went from playing vs gold IV gold V and silver I in promos to playing vs moslty gold III-I which was a bit of an up tick but not like overwhelming. The last game I lost though I was solo so they were all around my level (gold I vs gold V is a bigger gap but I didn't have that stuff any more) and it was just the hardest I've ever been crushed. The guy was my level but had just an amazing game. I've had those before where you play so well you almost feel bad for the person in your role on the other team, but I've never been on the receiving end to this degree. It was one of those things where it was a hard enough beating it definitely psyched me out and so I'm like "na gonna need to play some normals bc I'm not mentally in the spot I need to be to play ranked right now"

Sounds like you psyched yourself out. Like the other guy said, nothing drastic changes when you get promoted. There is no big leap, it is the same increase in difficulty as it would be after any other win.
