ELO

Hey guys im just posting this blog so maybe riot can change something about League. So earlier in the summer about a month ago i was p 3. I lost a couple games and went down to p 5. Once i was in p 5 i looked up what my elo was and it says its equal to silver 1. This being said when i win i gain 11 lp and when i lose i lose 20 lp. Im now gold 3 and im just wondering if riot is ever going to change how people gain LP. I now when i win gain 13 lp and lose 19 lp. Last night i was in promos to gold 1 and as i played today i got demoted to gold 3 because i lost 6 in a row. And its just very frustrating because im trying to win but when i win 6 in a row im at 60 lp not 90 and i lose 3 games and im back down to zero. I think riot should change something with the rank system and make sure this doesn't happen. I was also plat last season too. So i know that im not a low gold player. Riot please look at this and review what i said i think a lot of other people will agree with me that your rank system is absolutely terrible and needs to be changed. Thank you

You still are maintaining a 45% winrate in ranked, so the system is lowering your MMR because the input it is getting is that you aren't able to have a 50% winrate at the rank you are at. The system goes both ways, if you are playing at lets say a 65% winrate the system will raise your MMR and eventually you will gain more LP than you are losing. This is just to help people get to the rank they are supposed to be, so that the players who can climb will be given the means to do so and those who are struggling will quickly be adjusted to a spot where they are able to play evenly. The added plus to this system is (and you are not in this case but it is an example) that people who are boosted more quickly will drop down to their natural rank because they will all of a sudden show a very poor winrate at their boosted rank.

Also, did you decay during that time when you were going down in rank?

I started decaying about a month ago. But i was only losing 12 lp and winning 20. Now that i decayed so much i cant even reach plat before the end of the season. IT just sucks when you win 3 and lose 1 and you are right back where you started and wasted 3 hours of your time playing. Maybe riot should change.... lets say you lose a game but you have 20 kills 1 death and 19 assist. most likely you will get an S so even if you lose you dont lose 20 lp but maybe loss 10 instead. And same goes for winning. If you are the only one doing good and your team and yourself sees that maybe not gain 13 lp for the win since you were the one who carried. I just personally think riot should change how to gain elo. Because ill never get back into plat with winning 3 and losing 1 . Also when i come out of series and lose twice in a row im back down to 50 lp. Doesnt make sense to me
