Ludicrously unfair LP payouts

Quil Evrything·Mar 14, 2015·2 votes·449 views

So... solo queue is unclimbable unless you are either LCS grade, or ludicrously lucky.

Okay. check.

SO.. time to turn to duo queueing. Where finally, I can win regulary, becuase I'm guaranteed that at least one other person on my team is not a complete idiot. That still leaves 3 idiot slots open, though. Not a problem, though, right?...

Except that it is. Riot has decided that it awards me a massive 8 LP, for a win. but 22 for a loss.

That means I have to basically win 3 to 1, to get out of tier. THREE TO ONE!

worse yet, i can keep winning every 2 out of 3 games.... consistently... but GET DEMOTED?? How is that POSSIBLY FAIR??

okay I understand "duo queues have an advantage".... so fine, match us with other duo teams. then give us fair rewards, not this messed up odds thing that seems explicitly designed to keep people down :(

Your MMR (~350) is much lower than Bronze and your LP gains will be low until you reach at least Bronze V MMR (700+MMR).

I'm not sure what you did in Season 4 to tank your MMR that hard, but that's when your problems started.

What did I do? Let me seee.... I played solo queue, solo. won my lane hard, but I got paired with multiple idiot feeders. Every time, every game. Yeah that's fair to put my MMR in the toilet for random matching. What a great system.

You're in the bottom 1-2% of the population. People don't usually drop that low unless they are genuinely bad at the game or purposely trying to lose.

If you are much better than the people in your bracket, you should be able to simply through having more farm (Gold) and items than your opponents.

Spoken like someone who has never had to play at that level.

A sample of my last 3 games: 17/7/23 2/3/12 6/1/12

Those happen to be winning games. However, I have also had losing games where I am 10/2/9 9/4/8 6/1/11 12/4/11

When you're in a game with double, or even triple, feeders, there is no way for you to win, unless you're diamond level or something. I dont even claim to be gold level. I'd just like to get into silver.

PS: na.op.gg claims I am now in the bottom 7% bracket, not 2%.

What really doesnt make sense, is that I at least used to get 11LP. Now I get 8. Freakin insane. MMR system is completely broken.
