Can we PLEASE change the way we gain/lose LP in this game to be an actual reflection of your match?

Look, I'm not great at this game, i'm a low gold, high silver player, check. My problem is, 90% of the people in my elo, don't really give two shits about actually winning in this game.

Two games ago, I had a Graves adc who fed vayne 6 kills in 6 minutes, then proceeded to laugh in jungle while we lost the game and refused to help - cool, reported him, but still lost max LP after winning my lane just fine.

Next game, we move on to the support Kayle. I destroy vayne top as tahm kench when she over extended i killed her 3x before laning phase was over, my bot lane proceeds to not ward a thing, and die to Lee sin over and over.

I tried to carry, i moved to mid lane to kill irelia who was destroying talon, roaming with a lane pushed to his tower, ya know, silver things.

I kill Lee after he's 10-2... didn't matter, game was over.

Still, I lose 17 LP because this game is in a meta right now that is about snow balling, there is a very slim margin in league to recover games anymore so it doesn't matter how well I play, if my team even feeds a little, the games are already out of reach.

Please, stop taking max LP from me when it's impossible to correct other silver players mistakes, like the enemy bot lane freezing lane at tower, and instead of warding they walk to tower and lee kills them, rinse and repeat three times before they realized, lee is in bot lane all due to incompetence from my team.

i want to climb, I want to play with people who know how to ward...please don't give me the "so go carry games" because if another lane feeds hard enough, not a thing you can do.

How about stop taking max LP for ACE's and rewarding more for MVP players???

Something, because the current ranked meta, (snow ball as fast as possible because ooohhh flashy plays, not much of a strategy game anymore) is not very forgiving for low elo players, well, even high elo since most games would end in a 15min FF if 6 kills were given to vayne in 6 minutes.

I want you to consider what would happen in a game that looks like it might be going south if your teammates decided that its probably a loss so the best thing for them to do is pad their stats so they personally lose Less LP.

Do you think they help make a comeback?

Just to update, very next game, my 1/7 jg, feeding bot lane once again helped catch up the singed that was down 40cs and 3 kills....loss. Full LP loss again....

I get your point Kai Guy. Those people will still lose LP though, you can base it off team participation in kills or radius of them; either way it's better than the current system. It's currently designed to keep you in the tier you're in - if you hit promos, you play with less tiered people on your team and higher tiered on the enemy.

On top of that, you can't fix the snow ball meta issue right now, maybe next season.

Also, just because a few people my abuse the change sometimes, it's better than punishing those who do well, but get stuck due to people quitting regardless.

The upside > downside.
