Always Lose Promos then to 0

So, Im' sure this happens to everyone or i'm just extremely unlucky. Everytime I get into my promos I lose (that's a given) and then its a downhill slide from there. I literally go from 100 points down to 0 points in the same day. Its like the matchmaking system is like 'lol he lost' now lets pair him up with AFK and feeders. I have to work my way up again through several losing streaks before I start to get better teams again. Now I'm not complaining about my teams i'm just complaining about the pattern that I always have to go through to get back to my promos, the 100-0 literally happens all the time and i'm sure a lot of you go through this. How do you overcome this?

Just stop playing ranked after losing 3-4 in a row. Take a nice break and play some normals or try playing again the next day. I am sure after a losing streak you will be affected with negativity and would not play to the best of your ability. Know when you're on tilt and remember when to take a break. Hope it helps!

I think you just go on tilt after losing promos :(

Usually, if you lose 1 you should take a 10-15 minute break. Make sure you come back with a fresh head before starting another. And when I say fresh head, I mean fresh enough to forget about last game and not complain about it at all.

You're probably unknowingly conditioning yourself to lose (also known as going on tilt). Don't let the pressure get to you. It's common to feel the pressure to win, and then play differently than normal because of it. This typically negatively impacts play. In promos, you need to focus not on how your team is doing/etc, but what you can do to win the game.

Never keep playing ranked if you lose 2 in a row. Even if you are personally performing well, you are subconsciously sabotaging yourself. If you lose 2 ranked games in a row, queue up for normals, go play something else,take a nap, get some work done, just don't play another ranked game!!!!!
