Why do we only get half LP during Loss Forgiven?

Many games don't have lag when Loss Forgiven is Enabled.

We should get full LP for winning, and lose none for losing.

I think it's BS.

Sounds like you want it to be easy to abuse the lag of players in different parts of the country

It wouldn't matter much either way since even though you get half LP you actually get zero MMR. If you got full LP it would skew your rank further away form your real rating than the loss forgiveness system already does.

It shouldn't be called loss prevention. It should be called win denial. I've gotten a total of TWO loss prevented games out of over 20 this season which were 4v5, especially during the February-April server chaos. But I've gotten way more than two wins denied! Our team lagging from server problems, enemy team perfectly fine, and we get only 9LP for winning a 4.5 vs 5. Thanks Rito.

It SHOULD give MMR, even if it's half.
