A though experiment about promos
Suppose that Riot decreed that all promos had to be 4v5, with 4 on your team, just to make sure you were worthy of the next rank. There would be a lot of complaining that this system is unfair and not a reasonable test of your skills and no one would be promoted again, and Riot would be buried with demands to change the system back.
And yet if a player ragequits in your promos just a couple minutes after the remake period, it still counts as a loss in your series.
Surely Riot could try to do something about that, at least on a trial basis.
