What made Riot decide on league points per match and a series to advance to the next tier? Why was this chosen over an internal system that grades your own play vs. team play? Is there any plans to update the format of advancing in rating?
ngl, this post is made out of frustration at how dated the system feels. It makes for a horribly stressful and frustrating experience.
People would focus on buffing their own stats rather than focusing on the team aspect of the game. You'd see splitpushers with no intention of grouping to get a higher CS score, players who focus kills over the nexus or other objectives, and players avoiding supportive champions for this reason. The wins and losses most accurately determine the combination of both micro and macro gameplay to result in a skill ranking.
