If there was ever something Riot did completely wrong...

It was promotional series...

Riot - We want working your way up the ranks to feel more dramatic and rewarding.

I've never felt so walled off from advancement ever. Since introducing this promotional wall I don't think I've ever passed it a single time. Nothing could feel more damning than getting a 2-3 win streak only to have a series pop up demanding I follow that with ANOTHER 2-3 win streak or DIE IN BRONZE U NOOB.

Considering all of the factors that go into a win, it's just ridiculous to demand an instant win streak after what may have already been an exhaustive play. Today I've entered my series 3 times!!! Each time, as soon as I enter it GET BACK IN BRONZE U SCRUB, HERE'S 4 NOOBS TO GET YOU STARTED.

The worst is when I use lolnexus to check out the team comps and it's like their team has a bunch of bronze 1 guys who are pushing promotion, my team has a bunch of s5 that would fall into bronze if it were possible -_-

Should just go back to the ever sliding elo system. Have the point to enter a tier slightly higher, have the point to lose a tier slightly lower. At least with this we can see the score of someone's current play. See a silver 5 and I swear they would be bronze 5 if it weren't for the inability to fall there. Not seeing MMR is horrible, don't know who's worth anything on your team.

NEVER has this "leagues" things mattered either. I get a list of some 20-30 other blokes who I don't give a rats ass about, I don't see them in game, they're not on my friends list, they're just a bunch of other blokes for no particular reason. wtf was this "leagues" thing even supposed to be? It's bs.
