Riot, why did you only fix the goddamn LP AFTER the season is over?!

So I ended season 5 in Bronze III. Yeah, yeah, bronze hell, not my fault, blah blah, whatever, that's not important, but there's something that's really getting me down now: all of a sudden I'm steadily climbing (the same way I did when I fought my way fairly easily out of bronze in season 4) because I'm getting a LOT more LP for a win and losing a LOT less for a loss.

During season 5, LP gains and losses were more or less the same between victories and defeats (which is, as mentioned, NOT how it was in season 4 at all), even slightly favouring losses. I'd gain 17 or 19 LP for a win, only to lose 21 or more for a loss. Predictably this made climbing INCREDIBLY difficult. But now, when it doesn't fucking matter any more, I'm losing only 14 LP for each defeat, but gaining 21, 24 and in my last game 31 LP for a single win!

What gives, Riot, seriously? This is adding insult to injury: "Aww, we're sorry you ended up branded with the Mark of Cain for ending the season in trash noob loser tier, now let use give you a taste of what it COULD have been like for you if we'd felt like it". What did you do? Seriously, what the hell?

They didn't change anything, your LP gains just fluctuate naturally as you play. You got better gains yourself, congrats.

Don't think it's really true, since when I came into ranked in S5 I got placed in Bronze 1 (just saying, but I started with 6 losses cuz I was terrible before and didn't have a main or anything). I quickly got into my promo's, but lost them, and stopped playing ranked after that. Don't think the LP was that bad, as I actually didn't win too much.
