My ADC is a feeding auto-filled support main. Why do they lose 4 LP, while I lose 16 LP?

Serious question, is this system supposed to make any sense?

I'm quite literally losing games to auto-filled, or even off-role, players feeding, while they give zero fucks because their main role isn't being penalized. There's no incentive to treat their off-role games as anything but throw aways, because the LP loss is so minimal.

This is beyond stupid and whoever designed this should be held accountable for it. It's pretty disgusting to imagine all of the things this design and development time could have been spent on that would have actually improved the quality of the game, instead of this abortion that disincentivizes trying if you get anything but your main role.

This is something I was worried ever since they introduced the new ranked system. Back then no1 thought it will be an issue. Guess who's laughing now hehe.

Bur srsly, there should be some fixes 4 shit like that.

Its not that they or anyone else didnt consider that(its even addressed in the video introducing it). its just the precautions were not properly done.

You call that "precautions"? lol

If I remember correctly, their solution for that is ti ramp up losing splash LP right?

It won't stop some1 who will only throw games when they're autofilled (and that happens once every couple of games). Simply winning games inbetween is enough 4 you to not have ramped up losing splash LP
If some1 trolls every game to the point where riot's solution for that kicks in, those players probably don't care about their rank.
Players who want to derank will have a field day with this one.

Because you gain 18 or whatever it is when it happens on the enemy team.

Imagine even suggesting that ranked devolving into flipping a coin is in any way healthy

How else are you going to do a team game and have you be the 100% influencing factor in every game? That's physically impossible for every player to achieve.
