Equality

I am curious if Riot is thinking up a system where a summoner would lose less/more LP based on their play, many times a summoner may do well and I may not have the best game, should that summoner be punished for my ability. Even if a loss of LP must incur possibly the "Feeding" party will lose more and the less feeding would lose less. Based on a system of KDA maybe?

It would be nice but Riot has a really hard time basing how well you played on your KDA. If you take someone like brand in support role and end up 2/5/10 it will only give you like a C or B, because brand is normally a burst carry and that's how they score him. Believe me, I wish this system was in, lost 35 lp due to team freely giving up lane when I destroyed as talon 2 games in a row.

The problem with such a system is there is no universal way to measure how well someone is doing, and no metric they can use that would not be abused. For example, a tank or support might have a much worse KDA than a mid laner or adc despite being just as important. A tank might sacrifice themself in a teamfight and only directly damage 1-2 people so their kda would be shit despite them tanking an entire team. Likewise, a behind splitpusher might have a horrible kda but have taken 3 turrets and forced the opposing team to leave objectives to stop them. They would be punished despite doing reasonably well.

It's a nice idea, but there is no way they can implement it that would not be abused.
