User blog comment:Commander Marko/How 'screwy' the League System is/@comment-11603965-20130929214028

I don't think the reason there are so many big losing streaks is because of the system, but because once you lose you are in a negative mood thinking 'well, this is going bad'. Had this a lot too. Won 6 out of 10 in provisional series, got placed in Bronze 1, won like 5 games (so I was up for promotion), started getting losing streaks of about 7/8 games, now I have a winrate of 37% in ranked (that's right, 37%!) over a total of 35 games. I stopped playing league for 2 weeks, started practiciing in normals and win 10 or 11 games in a row (let's be real, players in normals aren't that much worse than in Bronze 1). That's how I've learned that it's probably best not to continue playing if you start losing, at least not in Ranked. \

Dangit, now that I think of it... I really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really want that Victorious Elise skin. >.>
