The grading system should effect MMR and the LP of ranked games.

Okay so I lost my plat promos 3 times this season, but in those games I did good and got S's. Yet I still get the loss of LP and so forth. I got demoted down to G4 and now I can't climb at all. I do good, but my teammates are just so bad. What's the point of getting an S+ if it doesn't lower the LP you lose or help with your MMR? I used to be at Plat 4 MMR and now I am at Silver 1 because of my losses in ranked. Though I still get good grades and don't feed and fuck up entirely. Does anyone else feel like if you get a good grade in your game it should reflect in your LP? Lose a ranked game but get an S+? You should lose maybe 10 or so LP. Get a D- you should lose about 25 or so. Win a ranked game and get a S+, you should get about 25 LP. Win a ranked game but get a C-, you should get about 10 points LP. Grades literally have no value except for chests and mastery symbols so why does it matter so much? I really do think it should play a part in your MMR and LP gained/lost in ranked games.

the point of S is your champ, its to show how good at your champ, you can be good at your champs but bad at the mechanics of the game as an example

Something is wrong with YOUR gameplay then. If you are Plat level, getting S+, playing in Silver elo AND LOSING then you probably are not capitalizing well.

S+ is a lie. Maybe not. Your KDA is great when you win. But your KDA is normal when you lose, there is no way you are getting S grades on those losing games. So then your question really should just be why are you losing those games but carrying others. And I mean I guess the only answer I can give you is =\ stuff happens, sorry man. But yea your KDAs when you win are massive, but maybe you play too safe when you guys are losing.

I hate supporting Riot. But this isn't really supporting RIot. The problem with grade based MMR/LP is that it would cause players to play poorly sometimes. Like super safe. Well I don't want to lose a lot of LP, so I am not going to teamfight, I am not going to defend turret. Just let me get this cs farm while I leave mid open. And that is not good for the team. A true teamplayer (at times, not always) will die to extend a game and such.

But I am just a bronzesilver who can't even get to gold (dang I need gold5).
