I shouldn't be the only gold 1 in a game full of plat 3 and 4 players for 10 straight games because of promo Rng. I must have lost my gold 3/2 promos about 15 times this season and it took me 3 try's to finally get plat. And I think I only got it because playing at mid plat is easier to carry then gold 1/plat 5 where everyone is toxic as fuck. I remember them saying they were thinking about keeping promos, but once you beat a division series you kind of "unlocked" it. So you'd only have to do the promo for, say, silver 2 once. | ||

If you have to win more than 1 to get back to promos (or 2 or 3 if you went 1-3 or 0-3) then it means your mmr is actually lower than plat. In any case you actually are supposed to have ~plat4 mmr in order to get to plat. If I am winning 50 percent of my games at an mmr between plat 3/4 but am stuck in gold 1 that's kind of silly. I know that maintaining that mmr it's easy to get back in promos and eventually U will win that 1 extra game but it feels like a chore more then achievement. More so when u carry the guys who are 2 divisions above and even worse when u lose because of the guy 2 divisions above u and have to say damn if this guy got promoted and I can't I must really suck. | ||

Might be a more relevant place to continue your venting. I'm curious with the slowed down pace of champion releases how many champion reworks will take effect in 2016. I know there's a few that Riot had mentioned they wanted to change (Poppy being one) due to them simply having outdated kits, and I'm sure some of them could stand to get a graphic update as well. If they only release half a dozen champions I'm sure they'll have ample time/resources to rework an additional half dozen as well. Looking at a champion like Singed who looks so passé compared to the new highly mobile Ekko-type champions, as well as his own kit being fairly boring/binary. | ||

Not really Qing I won my promo series just stating id like to see some changes to the ladder next season. To answer your question I think taric and atleast one other champ should have reworks hitting the pbe shorty after worlds. | ||

How do you know you are actually plat 4-5 though? Just because you meet them in game? | ||

Meanwhile the gold 2 mmr guy in plat 5 is playing with gold 1 players and presuming because they're in promos that his mmr is plat 4. | ||

Well I always like to say that Riot and Blizzard are basically cut from the same cloth. They follow each others mannerisms pretty closely. Although Riot has been doing a better job mostly. Sometimes they do dumb stuff but it always feels like they trying to get better. | ||

Are you more likely to climb to D IV or drop to Plat I if you try?  | ||

I know I'll stop at Plat V if I can reach it, Gold I is definitely doable and probably where my "true" level is, within variance. I'm playing a bunch of Plat IV-V people in my games but their winrate is often below 50%, or people are obviously duoing. I think baring unlucky streaks or a bad timing with my promos, I'll get to Gold I easily, then I'll see if grinding to Plat is doable. Are you more likely to climb to D IV or drop to Plat I if you try? The eternal question :p I think I have a few more losses at 0lp before i demote if i fall that far | ||
