IP/LP SHOULD BE AWARDED/LOST BASED ON YOUR INDIVIDUAL GRADE, WHETHER YOU WON OR LOST
I think the new grading system is pretty accurate (based on the games I’ve played, my grade is always pretty accurate in my opinion). If we were all S or A players, we would have a much greater shot at winning; or it would be a very even, heated game (if the enemy team were just as good). In recent games I was getting S and A ratings (and half my teammates were probably getting C’s or D’s); yet I was still docked a ton of LP. I think the system should make you lose VERY LITTLE LP if you lost due to teammates you can’t control. For example: you could lose: · About 5 LP if you lost and you had an “S” grade · About 8 LP if you lost and had an “A+” grade · About 10 LP if you lost and had an “A” grade · About 12 LP if you lost and had an “A-“ grade · About 15 LP if you lost and had a “B+” grade · About 18 LP if you lost and had a “B” grade · About 20 LP if you lost and had a “B-“ grade · About 22 LP if you lost and had a “C+” grade · About 25 LP if you lost and had a “C” grade · About 28 LP if you lost and had a “C-“ grade · About 30 LP if you lost and had a “D+ grade” FYI I also think your “grade” should affect how much IP you get. You should get more or less IP based on your grade. The point is; it would require all players to do their best despite how dismal the situation looks or how badly their team is performing. All too often I see teammates disconnect, afk or sit on the base since they know they’re losing and they don’t care. This makes the game worse for everyone since if we all played our best, we would have a better chance at winning or would even go out fighting and the game would be more fun and less frustrating. Right now, I don’t think the LP/IP awarded/lost after each game is impacted much by how WELL you played; it’s just by whether you won or lost and what your ELO is, etc. (At least that’s what it looks like). You’ve already figured out how to grade people for how well they played (for example, I could get a C rating even if my team won) so I THINK PEOPLE SHOULD GET IP/LP AWARDED/LOST BASED ON THEIR INDIVIDUAL GRADE, WHETHER THEIR TEAM WON OR LOST. Obviously if you lose, you’ll lose LP; and if you win, you’ll gain LP; I’m fine with that. But the game would FEEL SO MUCH BETTER if you would make these revisions above so people felt motivated to play so well and could feel a sense of accomplishment even if their team lost since they felt their best. I think you have the technology and sophistication to make it so everyone can feel accomplished and credit for how well they played (whether their team won or lost); and likewise they will get MORE detrimented if they performed really badly, fed, etc. I think if you make these adjustments, your game will go even more VIRAL and people will enjoy League so much more!
