A new change for the LP system.

I really don't want to come off complaining, but I need to get a little bit of stuff off of my chest. I went 4-6 in placements, with some great performances in some of those loses, and got bronze 5. I immediately die inside. I start playing some ranked, and now have taken 7 loses in a row. And the thing is, I was performing really well in these loses, and couldn't carry. 0 LP, Just what I wanted!

But now that that is out of the way, I want to talk about what I think should happen. I feel the LP system is decent, giving you more LP for wins less to lose for losses. But the thing is, what if you just can't carry? I have had this happen to 3 games in a row, where I didn't feed, had high assist totals, and my grades averaged out to around a B+. But I lose LP for this? I think the LP lost should be significantly lower if you are doing good in these loses, or heck, even giving them a bit of LP if they got an A or above teammate grade or something like that. I know this is a bit of a crazy analogy, but think of professional sports. Recently, in the NBA (american basketball league) a guy went and dropped 70 points (a lot) and was still recognized for his achievement. So what if we have a kda of 10/1/30 and lose the game? Do we deserve to lose LP for that? LirA in the NA LCS has had some amazing games, and is on the worst team in the league, is he still recognized? Most definitely!

So my point is, why don't we get rewarded for being a good player on a bad team? it happens in the real world (I know it is a crazy analogy, but I need some support lol). I want to get out of bronze 5 and it is hard when you lose 7 straight! I am really not complaining here, and just am trying to suggest something.

B+ isn't good at all as a mastery score.

Also, League isn't about solo carrying. It's about taking out the enemy nexus before they take yours, so this would never happen. Sorry. Keep working on it and you'll climb. Figure out what you're doing wrong. Are you farming well? If not, practice. Are you using skillshot champions but missing everything? Play something like Annie that doesnt require that much.

To answer your questions, I play jungle, and am farming pretty decently, and got a level ahead in quite a few games. I am landing a lot of my Zac E's some pivotal on team fight outcomes. I seriously don't understand what I am doing wrong, I am warding good enough, counterjungling occasionally, and I know my strengths and weaknesses.

Just practice more, you'll eventually get better. I was stuck at the bronze 5 area for some time, I took some time to learn more champions and improve my own skill on my main champs and Rising pretty slowly out of bronze. Its much easier now with the practice tool btw.

I think the issue is your champ choices for bronze. I see you play a lot of Zac. He is great at ganking and getting lanes to snowball, but you cannot carry games on zac often. He is not that kind of champ and from what I have seen, Bronze 5 is a nightmare that plays out like a team death match game where people have more champion kills than minions.

It is so annoying that I cant! I have trouble with assassin championsand need a somewhat tanky champ to play.

Any attempts to give people more or less IP will lead to people behaving oddly just to try and game the system. For instance they may give up on defending a nexus tower because they think the game is over and want to preserve their KDA so they lose less LP, which is not the kind of behavior Riot wants to stimulate.

You can already see that with the mastery system, where supports ks and take cs from the ADC specifically to increase their ranking, or go around placing wards past the limit just to increase their ward count.
