Can't we base Rank off of individual performance instead of group performance?

I feel like some of the games I lose I should be ranking up from. Honestly plenty of teams I get, feed every lane and then come feed the one I am in but I still manage to kill minions and not die, shouldn't i get credit for that? Can't they be demoted based on their individual performance while not hurting my stats? I know the game is team based but it isn't fun playing with people on your team who are far below even your own play level while also playing against people who are as good or better than you. Were league based off of individual performance the better players would rank up faster and therefore push the people who do not perform down so they can play with one another. I am tired of watching my entire team feed for 20 minutes.

I'm sick of people saying that individual performance stats would be a bad thing. Over time, League has become a game that's more team involved and super good players aren't able to carry 4 lower skilled players like they used to. Nowadays, all it takes to win is getting teammates that don't mess up as much as the other team. In my experience, it all comes down to the one person who gets caught before a pivotal teamfight and decides the game for everyone, or, someone just feeds horrendously and tilts and pisses around making things worse for the other teammates that truly deserve to win their games.

And another thing, I couldn't give two shits if my teammates started becoming stat whores and try to get high kdas. If that were the case, there would be much less intentional feeders in games and I think that would be fantastic for everyone, wouldn't you agree? OR, if they intentionally feed anyways, I'll happily lose knowing how much of a big hit their rank is gonna tank compared to how this system is now.

No. Because the game isn't built around "Who has the higher score". It's built around the Nexus.

The Nexus is the only thing that matters at the end of the day.

Besides, it'd fuck with the incentive to actually win.

You ask for a soccer or basketball match where individual performance should count not the fact that one team wins.

Seriously.

Well. [zombie-brand-facepalm]

They just need to make your MMR be your rank. Not this shit system they have right now.

If Im getting matched with Plat players but Im Silver then guess what, Im Plat or they are Silver how about JUST MAKING THEM THAT.

Also Do away with Duo 100% it fuks up Ranked so bad.

You want to play with friends go play Draft or Normals.

It should be based on individual scores, but it never will be.

People ask for this a lot Every time people point out the multitude of problems with such a system People still ask for it and say it's worth trying So Blizzard tried Every problem people said would pop up ended up being bigger than we could have imagined and they had to nuke the system within a month.

Your winrate reflects how much you contribute to wins much better than any other statistic you could think of. Wins are the fairest, most correct, most accurate way to evaluate whether or not you are winning games.

I think win/loss shoudl be the biggest determiner, but your performance should be a factor. If you are doing better than most people in similar games but still lose, make the elo drop smaller. If you feed like crazy and still pull off a win, you only get a small bump. If you do amazing for your champ and position and you win, then get a big bump. It should not be based just on individual, but it could be part of the factoring.

Here's my personal opinion as a league player from the start I agree on the individual performance as sometimes you get bad luck in team and lose a rank or get trolls or wtv that making you lose your rank which I have gotten to diamond but then placed so low cuz of a bad team I can't be a ADC 20/3/5 for exemple against a team fed cuz my team was so bad once again I'm placed in a super low rank as the teams I get have trolls and good luck getting back up after your so far down as only shit players and horrible trolls are there not to mention it's frustrating when you do so fucking well and just lose cuz your team are dumbasses kinda why I keep leaving for years and come back time to time cuz I got better things to do then being in shit teams yes sometimes not everyone is bad but if you have a jungle who doesn't Hank or a support only feeding good luck doing anything afterwards

Sounds like you need to spend your time in a single-player game.

You have to modify how you play to fit into the game, the game doesn't have to modify to fit you. It is not a single-player game where individual stats matter, and it's never going to change to such thing. The game mode is 5v5. Win as a team, lose as a team.

Honestly, Riot can do something has to where they can judge it on group preformance but also and mainly on the individual themselves. Just as Apex does their ranking system with assists, time alive, etc. Because sometimes you can contantly get extremely unlucky games and it's not fair to the player who is 16/3/9.
