It's a known bug and yet nothing is being done about it... u have no alerts up, just some comment by a red somewhere... people keep posting asking about it and there has been no response... "were monitoring it" a week or 2 ago is it?

u have to be kidding me... u just don't give a a shit anymore.... why am i even posting this, the best i can hope for is someone on the boards defending ur company and telling me im the one overreacting to u doing nothing to another bug....

It isn't necessarily a bug: if the matchmaking system matched you against players with a lower rank, then it punishes you harshly for losing and is not impressed if you win (because it expected you to win easily).

It's derived from the ELO system.

P.S. A funny quirk of the ELO system: if an high ELO player, let's say a Challenger, were to be matched against an Iron 4 player, then afaik the Challenger would lose LP even when winning the game.

TL/DR: they know about it, they dont rly care, and they say it will work itself out when the season resets in a month or so.... k

You also are punished for losing a lot you gain less LP and lose more because the system doesn't think you deserve to be where you are
