How is it fair in ranked matchmaking to pair me (Silver 2, freshly promoted) with Gold 4 - Silver 4 players against Gold 2 - Platin 4 players?
Only happened after my promotion, before I always had players with max one division difference. On my team and the enemy team. Now all my lanes (I jungle) are just losing horribly all the time, literally each lane dies 5 times before 10 minutes. I am completely useless because either I play Shyvana and am the only one on my team on the farm of the enemy, or I play Pantheon and am completely useless.
I got a fresh promo and am only losing since then on. Next loss probably demotion.
I don'Ät really want to QQ, but I am just so frustrated -.-
Because divisions aren't always accurate portrayal of elo/mmr. Also possible duo queue on your team along with blue side can skew mmr matchmaking.

i heard of skipping promotion if ur elo is extreme higher than the division u are in, is that true?

Also, Lucian + Braum is so rediculously OP it's not even fair. Like level 2 all-in with Braum Q into Lucian aa - Q - aa means dead enemy ADC/support, possibly even a double kill as Braum tanks hits with his E. Like I'm a scrub adc, and bot lane was a god damn blood bath, I left lane phase with not too much CS but like 7 kills and 3 deaths (because after the second double kill for me, the enemy jungle just camped bot non-stop).
Excuse me, but how do you force all in level 2 with braum + lucian? Besides the cases where their bot lane have thresh/leona and they force the all in

Well yeah. You kinda can counter-initiate with Braum/Lucian, initiation is pretty much hard, since You have to hit Your Q and while there are dozens of minions running around, it's pretty hard.

They dont.Braum is pretty average if not weak in lane especially before he gets all 3 skills.His teamfighting doe.Pretty op.

I don't think his laning phase is actually weak. It is just that it takes practice (and a lot of the practice is on the ADC's part to know how to play with Braum). It is not stellar, but at least passable.
He just needs to survive the first 10 minutes and he will be owning people in teamfights.

that TI 4 pricepool is just sick, will be interesting to see of Riot does something similar this year to drive up the prizepool (aka the payout for the koreans)

I'd be surprised if they didn't.
HiRez did something similar with the Smite launch tournament with great success (although on a much smaller scale, obviously). It works. People like supporting their favorite players, and they also would get something out of it (skin, compendium, what have you)

Problem is Riot's client is god awful and lacks all the tools valve has to do it. Not sure if they can actually do something as community driven.

Well, it may not be as in depth as Valve's, but they probably have the capability of doing something, even if it's out of client. HiRez went the route of an exclusive skin (Pool Party Poseidon), and a portion of the sales to that skin went towards the tournament pot. We know Riot can do something like that because of Nurse Akali sales going towards tsunami relief.

Why does everyone go BOTRK on jax? why not hydra or something? I'm assuming you always go triforce, but why BOTRK?
He's got really nice gap closer, and speed from triforce, plus already gets free AS, and BOTRK has bad synergy with his ult
BotRK builds naturally (you often want a Vamp Scepter/Cutlass in lane), synergizes well with his high AS, helps his duelist/split-push style, and increases his mobility. Most people build BotRK first, but depending on your lane opponent you might want TF first.
