The magic of elo decay.
To be specific, I actually went down from silver 2 to 3 when it decayed, so I anticipated playing 3 games, 1 to get into series, 2 to sweep them, like what normally happens for me. Instead, because riot was dumb with this league system, not only did it promote me to silver 1 instantly, but it said fuck you to the promo games.
This is why shit can get into higher elos btw. Hence why I preferred the old elo system. If you let your elo decay, your mmr stays the same, but rito promotes you in relationship to it, so it will often let you skip climbing lp by getting you into promotions for the league you decayed to, but then promote you 2 or 3 leagues up when you win it. #allskill #balanced #ritoplz #ezgameezlife
Shit's dumb.
