@Riot LP gains in Division 5 and LP gains/losses during series
So recently on my main account I got into Diamond 5, I was so excited. However literally the next 2 days were just bad days for me. Then because of those 2 bad days I now get 12-16LP per win and lose 18-24LP per loss. This is starting to ruin ranked for me. I understand why it's happening I just don't agree with it. If I were in Diamond 3 and had 2 bad days then I get dropped down to Diamond 4 or maybe ever back into Diamond 5 which sucks but at least then my LP gains would still be fair which would mean that the next day when I went back to doing better I would be able to climb right back.
It just sucks that if you are in a division 5 and have a bad day or two you are trapped in that division unless you have an amazing win streak. In my last 16 soloQ ranked games I'm 8-8, but I'm at 0LP. With a record of 8-8 I shouldn't be able to climb, however I feel like it's putting me on tilt and causing me to lose even more. To the point that now I'm considering just playing enough to not decay to make sure I get my diamond border.
Now as for LP gains and losses in a series. Gains and losses in your series are the same as they are if you weren't in your series. So if you go 0-2 then you will be 2 games away from getting back in with your LP where as if you go 1-2 you will only be one win away(most of the time) from getting back in. I understand why you do this and this seems fair. However what doesn't seem fair is that if I 2-0 or 2-1 my series then I don't gain any LP into the next division. I feel like this is a bit of a douible standard, we are being punished for losing but not being fairly rewarded for winning.
