Fantasy LCS is Flawed in its scoring of EU and NA LCS Players (NA Players Score Double Points)

NaCltines·1/26/2017, 1:07:38 AM·4 votes·948 views

NA Teams play 2 "Best of 3" games per week while EU Teams play 1 "Best of 3" game per week (except for 2 weeks per team). Because of this, NA players score twice as many points per week as EU players leaving them at the bottom of the barrel when using the "First 2 games scoring mode"

For example, Zven (one of the best EU ADCs) is predicted to score 47 points this week because G2 only plays one series while Apollo (one of the lowest NA ADCs) is predicted to score 64 points and Sneaky (one of the best NA ADCs) is predicted to score 94 points because NV and C9 play two series.

Maybe this was intended but I don't think NA should carry so much weight and score twice as many points simply because they play more. Please let each player's total score be for the first two games of just one Best of 3 series and take the best score should they play two.

Unfortunately, I do not think this is going to be changed until the end of the spring split.

In a post at the beginning of the split, Riot tried to justify the fact that they did not change their scoring system. I disagree with their argument, as EU players are basically worthless. If you want to start EU players, it basically comes down to "who logged on first" with no real strategy or skill.

I think the system you proposed is the only logical way to fix the system for the Summer.

It doesn't matter which scoring system is being used. Both suffer from a 2nd series of matches not being played by some EU teams.

This definitely won't change while the split is under way.

Yeah, this has entirely nuked my fantasy team. Didn't realize how very few games EU players get when we were drafting, and now I'm basically entirely out of it. I am not pleased.

We play the best game format. I think if that only covered the single best game over the week then it would be better. But na players would still get more chances at it
