Win a game i gain like 19-22 LP. Lose a game i pretty much lose what i gain.

How are people suppose to climb in Solo Queue when they lose what they gain.

I'm not saying to drop it so much but the system should not take away what you just gained the game before.

I suggest the system take away like 60%-70% of what you are gaining. This way when you gain 20 LP you were able to keep a few LP when you lose the next game.

Because let's face it when i duo queue i lose alot less than i gain so basically the system is telling me to duo queue instead of solo queue but getting friends to play lots of ranked because is hard because they like to play 2-3 ranked games in one day if i'm lucky. whereas if i solo queue i can play 10 ranked games per day.

Riot please do something. Sick of tired of the headaches of solo queue.

If you're not gaining or losing LP (winning 50% of games), then you're right where you should be. The whole point of the LP system is to reward winning streaks (a general sign you're better than your opponents) and punish losing streaks (a general sign you're not as good as your opponents)

The closer to 50% WR you get the more the gains/loss you get. If you are constantly W/L in that order eventually you get to the point where you are at.

Where you start seeing gains is where I am at. I have gone on 4 separate streaks in my climb from gold 4 to plat 5 in the last 20 days. I had been in a state of gaining/losing almost one after another at the end of the season. If I had the number of ranked games I played since the start of my climb I would tell you but its safe to say that having 24 gains and 13 losses that i had something like a 70% WR over the course of those games. I'm still carrying that number with a win streak 2 days ago losing my first and winning the next 4.

Fixing the problem is easy; start winning consistently. Your LP is based on your win streaks and lossing streaks. If you aren't getting either then you are exactly where you should be. If you can't win a lot and your aren't losing a lot then you are where you need to be with the system putting you with players who are at your skill lvl.

Im sorry but theres nothing i can do when the last two games i get both supports on my team that afk and feed when they come back. then my teams throw all the time and feed their lanes even though i don't feed. Don't worry though my skill level has alot to do with why my MMR is where it is and it has NOTHING to do with the teammates i get, Even though when i duo queue i win more than i lose. Let's also remember that i'm the only one on my team that has a more kills than deaths and the other 4 players on my team have more deaths than kills.

My friend only plays ranked in duo queue and he got to Gold 5 with just a few games all because pretty much all those games he played were with me. But someone like me who has to go through the pain and frustration of soloing has to endure the headches of silver tier for the last 3 seasons.

Clearly solo queue is balanced. Thanks for the awesome solo queue experience Riot!!!!!!!

Riot knows Solo queue needs retuning yet they refuse to do anything about it. Ranked is basically "play with two or more people or you end up with a lower MMR because we refuse to tune the system to solo queue players even though Duo Queue is fine."

thanks riot.....

You belong right where you are. This post clearly shows it.

I have a friend just like you. Everything is everyone elses fault and because i have a good KDA clearly i'm doing amazing......WRONG. It actually shows how little you really understand about this game. KDA doesn't matter at all. Map control and objectives do. Blaming a few afks doesn't account for all your games.

People like you are why this community doesn't work together. They think they do good and everyone else does bad. Let me tell you there are a lot more to it than that. If you truly want to get better and move up you need to stop blaming someone else for the mistakes and work with them. I really doubt being a silver player that you are perfect in your play. Take the mistakes that YOU make and ignore the ones that others make.

Let your team carry you if you are failing and always build for what the team needs not whats going to make you stronger and trust me those are 2 different things.

As I said I went from Bronze 1 to gold 4 in the course of the regular season. Then continued to go from gold 4 to Plat 5 in a matter of only 20 days. Thats clearly me doing something right because there is no way of me winning that many games being carried and playing terrible.

You clearly have a lot to improve on if you really want to improve your ranking and it always starts with your attitude.

Do you know how many times i lose my lane?

Less than 1% of the time. That means my skills are excellent. Perhaps i might lose my lane against say a Plat player but someone of the same tier or gold, no way.

This may be a team game but riot forces you to solo queue thereby taking out the team aspect. My skills as a player has nothing to do with why the top lane yasuo goes 2/15 when he feeds nasus to start the game. just like the same can be said about the jungler who comes to my lane (even though i didn't ask him to come) and he proceeds to feed the mid laner. Just like the 2/21 bot lane that feeds from start to finish.

It's games like these where everyone has more deaths than me that you look at but why don't you look at the few games where everyone on the team is roflstomping their lanes and you win the game in 20 mins with a 20k gold lead and the final score was 25-3. Why don't you look at that type of game and make your judgement based on that. Oh right you can't because if a game is 25-3 that means everyone on the team is working together and they all have skills. What about the games where it's 3-25, you know the one where your postive while the rest of the team proceeds to feed.

Case in point, if you are going ham every game and feeding you end up in silver yet the guy who plays safe and doesn't feed still ends up in silver. in a 1v1 which of these two players do you think will win?

The day people like you start accepting the fact that solo queue is flawed is the day you might actually get to challenger tier where you may belong if you have the skills for it but because you are blind to see it that is why you are in plat.

You clearly don't have any interest in how people have moved up. YOu just want to stay negative and boast about you doing well. You clearly need to do something else because what you are doing is not working. I'll say 1 more thing before I stop responding to a toxic player. Learn to improve yourself and forget about others. If you can't do that then you will never move up or it will be a very slow process

also i don't even have a 50% win rate because i have way more than losses than wins. And yet i still managed to get to Silver 2 before going on a losing streak and getting demoted to Silver 3.

the system for Solo Queue is flawed, period.
