I had to play 7 and I say 7 promos to get to silver 1.

We have even made some pattern of what happens in our promos (me and y usual duo partner) and there are 3 final bosses.

Tristana in the eneemy team, we have "almost" managed to neuter this.
Twisted fate in our team
Warwick in our team.
Those 3 are the signs of out doom and they ALWAYS show up in our promos.
We will start banning those 3 in those games xD

It happened to me too, except that I had 4 failed promos to gold before dropping to silver 2. After that I quit ranked for about 6 months lol.

Happened to me too. Plat promo -> gold 2. Had to climb up again...

Play promos.... start the game 5-1 the server acts, dc's the game for 12 minutes and when it comes back it is 4 vs 5, then lose the game.
This game hates me

Way to go 0-2 in promos with nothing you can do about it, this game is shit.

Same here, went from Plat promo to Gold II 0pts.
Most games were the same : proceed to destroy botlane only to get 3shot by either overfed enemy top/mid/jungle.

Then I discovered Trist'.
So far I'm 9-3 with her, 12/4 average score ingame, went from gold II 0pts to gold 1, feels nice.

I have to say, quality of the average player on weekends goes down a tier. Have a pretty close game except the enemy comp revolves around a Zilean/Vayne/Jax thing, and while we're barely winning fights, its obviously getting worse and worse unless we have pristine engages.

So MF in her infinite wisdom gets Mercurial Scimatar and Warmogs. It's like, do you even have a plan to win? Your targets are either cced/exhausted or you're dead regardless, might as well build an IE and burn them down faster and you know... trust your support to do their job. The support you forced to play support by locking MF when you're last pick.

So 20/3/8 isn't good enough to carry. TIL.
At least this time around the team didn't blame me for the loss so I guess that's something.

Decided to get one of my smurfs through provisionals....holy fucking shit people are really this bad. I have to play absolutely perfect just so our 18/4/11 cait can carry the game because she has no idea how to position or orb walk.

Holy shit the supports cancer is real, I had a Lulu that KEPT TRYING TO TRADE A LEONA/DRAVEN LANE, giving draven tons of kills and lurring me into dying as well. Game ended with me finishing my 3ird item (counting boots) with draven being full stuff at 30min 1shotting me.
And I'm the one to blame wen my entire lanephase got fucked up by a motherfucker, yeah, makes sense

Ok so the enemy Irelia is fed and is diving our Tristana. I'm playing Skarner and try to ult the Irelia off our Tristana.
Tristana: OMG this Skarner so noob every fight in backline.

S1 to G5 promos were the hardest games I had to play for this season, both on my main and smurf. It was so memorable.

I am plat 3.

I had my main up to plat 4 promos before tanking it back to plat 5 and then trying to carry my buddy from silver 2 to g5 and got myself demoted to G1 in the process. Decided to start on a smurf and went 7-3 in provisional matches and go placed into G4, but its so painful to be 3-1-14 as a support with a 14-1-8 or something stupid adc and we lose team fight after team fight because she wants to auto attack a chogath who is stunned instead of the akali that's right in front of her face and also stunned.

Target prioritization is so bad at this level and it just makes me wonder what the difference between my skill level and low diamond is because it can only be exponential to what the difference between me and low golds are.

God damn I just wanted a peaceful game, and then vlad and zed just start flaming the fuck out of each other. Like I'm getting kills left and right as lee sin and these guys can't win zed vs tf or vlad against gp when vlad is up 3 kills. God that's just frustrating when you're playing with stupid children.

I'm Fiddle jungle. Lee tries to invade me at my red, but I do two camps after blue and kill him after dodging his Q. Then Yasuo goes 1-13 and in the final fight doesn't ult on a 5 man Nami ult. Some people just make me want to rage.

Welp, 4th picks goes ape shit because 3rd pick took Jungle.
"i cna only jungle, fuck you"
Picks Taric top, goes full armor build, still gets destroyed in less than 2s. We had Leona/TF/Taric/Maokai and I was Trist, and still their Udyr was able to right-click me and wait to get close.

This Taric was a fucking negative piece of fucking shit holy fuck, we could have won but nope.

AND I LOST 20 FUCKING LP FOR THIS OMFGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Felt I should post here after this last grind I had to get back to gold for this season. Started in silver 1 and then was demoted to silver 2 because of inactivity. Made it back to silver 1 with no problem but then came within one game of promotion series to gold like eight times. The big three, that I believe to be true at this point in my league life:

1. Wondering how some people get into gold/plat/diamond is no longer a mystery because I look at their games played. Last season I ran into someone in gold 4 that had 1300+ ranked wins. So with just guessing this person played 2600 games in season 3... Extreme but anyone can get lucky if they play enough.

2. Never fucking play ranked on the weekend. Kids decide to rage, troll, or just afk for no fucking reason. It almost isn't even worth playing the game at all on the weekend in fact.

3. I hate being bottom lane now. I'm scared of getting a horrible support when I'm adc and I'm scared of getting a horrible adc when I'm support. If my duo partner and I go bot we crush and the top/mid lanes feed the game away anyway.

That feel when you spend every teamfight soloing the adc, support and the jungler and the rest of the team get completely wrecked 4v2.
