WHY DOES RIOT PUT LOWWINRATE PLAYERS IN PROMO,

It is known that the riotsystem has a system where in promo you get teamed up with 4 players with a general low winrate. The point is that a larger armound of players that have a negative winrate are more likely to be trolls/flamers or afk's than the players with a positive winratio. And I think this part is not fair, I believe the promosystem should be like this:

When a player hits promo he gets matches with people from a lower elo than himself instead of a garbage winrate. I have been playing on my smurf last few weeks (my main is gold 1) and was placed in bronze 2, and In a week i've climbed up to silver 3. And in every promo I had atleast one massive flamer and Ive had around 3 trolls in my promo's. In my main acc there are also trolls but way less as the people here give more fucks about their elo I guess. That being said I think this system is unfair to the players in bronze silver and gold.

Look at it this way. If a silver 4 player. Is a little bit better than the other players in his elo and he deserves silver 3. But he is not good enough that he can carry a game with a troll or so. he is basicly fuckt.

I am now silver 3 on this smurf acc And ive lost 6 promos to silver 2. I have 55 wins and 35 loses. Yet I cant get out I wrote this tread tilted af seeya later T

Uhhh did you just spell fucked with a t? Anyways, I didn't know they purposely place you with low win rate players. Can you cite your source? Or at least provide some evidence? And how does anyone ever climb if that is the case? The ones who actually climb are the exception to the rule? They're just lucky, but your case is the norm? Are you suuuure?

Matchmaking is the worst part about this. It's just a blind number that adds up to 100 to fill teams.

You got a 10, 10, 30, 20, 30. The enemy got 20, 20, 20, 20, 20. These are equal teams, go duke it out.

Except, they aren't. Two members of the first team are god awful and are going to cost them the game. While sure, they also have 2 really good members, all the enemies being average means they can respond decently and appropriately to the better laners, while the awful ones wont.

Matchmaking enforces a 50% winrate.

You need a 67% winrate to win promos, except that you can't get that high unless you get lucky or are smurfing. The matches are rigged against you.
