EIGHT Promos failed due to 4 v 5's
Normally I would agree that promotional games, especially into the next tier of rank (Gold, Plat, Diamond, etc) should be more difficult to win these games. However...I have now had eight straight promotional series for platinum 5 where there were games that were impossible to win because either someone is a troll, or simply just afk's and makes it a 4 vs 5.
The first 7 series were just straight 4 vs 5's into 3 losses. I'm ok with this happening once, maybe twice in a push for a higher promotional tier. I'd chalk that up to bad luck. But SEVEN times? That's 21 straight promotional games of 4 vs 5's or trolls. Let's be real.
This last one, went well the first 3 games. So I'll admit, had I played better I might have been able to swing myself into Platinum. However, because of the next 2 having trolls again, I decided a post was necessary. Jungle ashe. In Platinum. Walking into lanes and just giving kills. Ryze waltzing into jungle to feed enemy jungler kills.
I'd like to bring to mention the Ashe in particular. In champ select, extreme vulgarities and racist comments were said both pre and post the ashe jungle pick. Had I not been in my last promotional game (2-2) I would have dodged.
I'm all for having difficult games. But this is ridiculous, and needs to be fixed.
