Optimizing LCS Point System
YO, I just thought about this for some time now.
I think a Best of 3 is the best system if you get points like this: 2:0 --> 3 points 2:1 --> Winner 2 points / Loser 1 Point
I think that is only fair, if you can take a game of the winning team, why not get rewarded for this.
Or do it in Best of 2 like this: 2:0 --> 2 points 1:1 --> 1 point
I just think its hart to catch up if the winning team gets 3 points and the losing team 0. In Football/Soccer for example you have way more games, so you can catch up to other teams + there is not the risk of letting the enemy team snowball hard. If you lose a teamfight in LoL cause someone made a stupid mistake and the enemy team gets an inhib, maybe 3rd drag or baron out of this you will most likely lose the game, even though you just won the 2nd game convincingly.
If you have a clear winner you get rewarded like one, if you just won 2:1 it shows that you are not clearly better than the other team so you don’t get much more points and the losing team will have a chance to catch up in the standings.
I hope you understand what I’m trying to say =)
