By this i mean the promotions in that game there is only 1 win needed not 2 out of 3 or 3 out of 5... much more efficient and makes a community happier. My second point is every one hates when they are at 99 points and need 1 more win to get into series..... why not let that extra lp from the win carry over so the fruits of there labor are not entirely lost. Again heroes does it why not league. For that last point i think maybe a restiction on you have to be at say 95 points or higher to gain the extra or some crap. thank you that is all remember to upvote kids

league 's rank use to be just straight up mmr /elo and they felt that wasnt ideal so they changed it to what we currently have

khorneyMar 16, 20171 votes

again not what im talking about........you gain lp you get to 99 points or 95 to 99 why not bank the extra to get promoted sooner in the next rank? if you think that is bad then you sir are high af

oSEXYPLATYPUSoMar 16, 20171 votes

well this is league... hots is a different game...

if you prefer hots go play it...

khorneyMar 16, 20171 votes

its really not a different game

oSEXYPLATYPUSoMar 16, 20171 votes

hmm league of legends .... heros of the storm

sounds like two different games... created by different people

might be a different game

You're saying that they should bank the extra LP to get promoted sooner in the next rank because you think that otherwise, the LP, and your efforts, are wasted, when they aren't.

Getting to 99 LP means that you essentially have a free game, losing a match would still put you in 1 wins worth of LP away from 100, and if you manage to lose a second game putting you more then 1 win away from 100 LP, then by then, you would've lost the series you would've qualified for in the first place.

It isn't, if you have 99 LP, then you can likely afford to lose a game, but still be 1 game away from 100 LP, because LP gain/loss is based on consecutive wins/losses and MMR, if you manage to lose 1 game, then lose another, you would've lost your series be then if you qualified for one in the first place.

Again heroes does it why not league.

Because HOTS is a different game, in HOTS' case it probably makes sense, i've never played HOTS before though.

For that last point i think maybe a restiction on you have to be at say 95 points or higher to gain the extra or some crap.

This, this is the dumbest solution.

Say if i had 99 LP, i'm 1 point away from getting into my series. Now, if you instead needing to make it to 95 LP to qualify for a series, GETTING 94 LP WOULD PUT YOU IN THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS BEFORE! it's the unexpected hanging paradox all over again.

khorneyMar 16, 20171 votes

its not different though thats what im saying. The promotion in ranked is the same but heroes is way better.

They did add adding a free win count for promotions if you seem to fail it but get back in sometimes.

For HoTS, Ive tried it out for a few months and meh, deathball meta (5 man lane taking) is not fun.

khorneyMar 16, 20171 votes

your right a game thats abotu teamwork and objects is bad somehow lol right.........so you would like to lose just to get promoted the next time around sooner? yah havbe fun with that bad logic

I had a 5 minute match in ranked diamond 5 hots as Lt. Morales on battlefield of Eternity because we took 1 objective and 5 man pushed.

1 lt morales is busted 2 ive had that in league. you take away liek 10 min it takes to farm in league and bam the macth lentgh is about the same length.

It's half way there right now. If you fail a promotion the next time you have a free win, making it a win 1 to go up situation. I do think that makes things more relaxing the second time around, but also more exciting the first time.

My second point is every one hates when they are at 99 points and need 1 more win to get into series..... why not let that extra lp from the win carry over so the fruits of there labor are not entirely lost.

I agree, there's nothing quite so bad as being at 99 LP and having to win 3/4 games to promote. You'd be in that same situation regardless of if the LP rolled over though, so that's not a solution.

maybe a restiction on you have to be at say 95 points or higher to gain the extra or some crap.

That's one possible solution. I feel like another would be adjusting the Matchmaking to give you a game that would earn you the extra 1-5 LP, but that might have some undesirable side effects.

khorneyMar 16, 20171 votes

umm free win after losing series is not the samething.

DrCyanideMar 16, 20171 votes

Yes it is, it has been for over a year and I took advantage of it just a few weeks ago. It's called Promo Helper

You misinterpreted what your seeing..... For you its like I need 6 wins to get promoted not one.... By this I take into account that you win 1 out of 3 get demoted and have to win 2 to 3 more to get back into series and you lose 1 and win to get promoted. How is this efficient or what I'm talking about?

It's not a possible solution, if that change were to happen, people would be complaining about having 94 LP.

DrCyanideMar 16, 20171 votes

6 LP away is about 1/3 a win, which feels a lot better than playing for 1/18 of a win (or less) for the 1 LP needed when you're at 99 LP now.

MXXXXXLMar 16, 20171 votes

6 LP away will become the new 1 LP away if 95 LP replaces 100 LP as the amount needed to qualify for a series; if being at 95 LP is all it takes to qualify for a series, then who cares about being "1/3 a win away" from 100 when you're really just an 1/18th of a win away all over again.

SukishooMar 16, 20171 votes

Nah, they should just do what SMITE did an remove the Promotions. Once you hit 100 points you advance to the next Div/Tier. If you have something that say would cause you to have 101+ then you'd keep the remaining points when you hit the next one (so instead of starting at 0 you'd start with 3 or whatever you would have had left over)

khorneyMar 16, 20171 votes

or that lol.

DuskDaUmbreonMar 16, 20171 votes

I'd much rather keep the safety net so that I don't fall back down as fast than simply making people able to climb way too fast. The safety net for falling, especially at the 5th divisions, are rather large. Like, 3-4, possibly 5 games, large. That is far more preferred than simply making it easier to climb.

khorneyMar 16, 20171 votes

No one said remove that. I'm saying make promotion easier

SukishooMar 16, 20171 votes

They were talking about the Promos/Series not the ranked protections, besides the safety on Div 5 is actually 10 games only after you've placed in said division and then the number of games to actually fall can be many more after that as your MMR has to be pretty bad for it to drop you down.
