here is what riot can learn from the OW MMing system.

in that game you climb based on your own idividual performance and contribution to the team. If you perform well, aka get gold medals in multiple categories, you will gain more points, if you perform poorly, aka bronze medals in everything, you will lose more points.

why is this so hard for league to do? we have this mastery system and S+ system, but its meaningless. why cant i get rewarded for getting that S+? why do i lose 20 something points because of an AFK or because or ragers when i myself did exceptionally well compared to everyone else?

take notes riot.

For the exact reason OW's system is stupid. Anyone that isn't a killer gets shafted hard by it.

And you forget to mention that DPS champions get more points over tank/defense/support unless the former is either utter ass or the latter is a god, because of the nature of how DPS will be focusing kills/objective kills/solo kills/damage/kill streaks/healing potentially (Reaper/S76/etc), while tank/supports have pretty much only damage blocked/damage healed respectively that will actually be worth any medal, while defense is just sort of a weirdball altogether with usually just objective time, damage done potentially (Mei for instance if they're decent)/objective kills, but they're generally a lot more passive and are responsive rather than aggressive.

thats just because of how the medals are given out per class. atm all classes, except healers, have the same category to get medals in. they just need to adjust that for class specific roles and it will be a damn good system. all they need to do is add more support specific, tank specific, and defense specific medals rather than just healing/blocked dmg.

Overwatch's matchmaking system sucks.

I get matched against full teams and dual 3-man groups on a regular basis. I'm a solo player, this is a LOT worse than League's system.... then again, **at least Overwatch does us the courtesy of warning us that the match is lost even before it starts. **

i got plat in OW and im climbing to diamond. its actually insanely easy to climb in that game with ANY character if you know how to abuse this system. all u need is a minimum of 2 gold medals and minimize your point loss and maximize ur point gain. doing this and ull climb even with 50% winrate. the only way u wont climb is if ur just completely in the gutter and have like a 49% winrate or less.

Already got Diamond in League while struggling against a massively bullshit dynamic queue system.

Not doing it again in Overwatch, I'm happy with my gold.

Letter rankings are already dumb when tanks / supports are playing like scrubs and letting the stacked spree 450 gold die because they didn't want to get a death. The B / C rank player might actually be the MVP.
