Please make it so when you get an S rating you don't lose as much LP

I am stuck in bronze and keep getting stuck with really bad teammates and still manage to A ratings and S ratings quite a lot. I am normally the best player on both teams, but lose. Please lower the penalty on LP especially if you can get S rating and tried so hard to carry the team, but lost. I feel if you get a bad rating like C or below you should get more LP for a loss. This would get the players who are good a chance to climb the ladder and the people who are bad to fall to where they need to be faster. There is too many players who leech of the person who caries the team and are in are a certain rank because luck more than skill. This solution will fix the problem.

Being the best player on either team doesn't really say much when you're in bronze. It means a lot in diamond and up, but in bronze it means almost nothing.

People have climbed out of bronze on their own ever since bronze was a thing, so if you're good enough to be a silver player you will get there.

In the meantime focus less on your team and more on what you can do to win games. Getting an S and still losing simply means you're not carrying enough weight just yet. Take on a role that can carry your team better or pick a champion that is good at winning outnumbered fights. Experiment with your runes, masteries, and items in normals to figure out what will best assist you with your climb.

Above all constantly practice your CSing. The more gold you get early the faster you can reach your late game power. Jump into a custom game with no runes or masteries and go to lane with no items. Last hit until the 10 minute mark and write down your CS. Set your goal at 100 and constantly push yourself to get closer and closer to it.

And make sure to abuse a lead. Don't just keep farming up and killing your lane opponents. Take down your tower and move to other objectives. Take dragon, take other towers, and just keep pushing until you've taken their nexus. If you're getting a lot of S ranks during losing games it means you didn't fully press your advantage that game. An S rank in a lost game simply means you could have won that game for your team, but you didn't.

Use that thought as motivation and you'll find a way to climb.

Not a good idea. Care needs to be taken with how rewards are offered. This rewards a player, not for winning, but for things like KDA. What this is likely to do is encourage people to focus on the things they know or believe to contribute to their grading rather than trying to win the game. A flow on effect from that is people will get angry if you steal a kill etc. and they believe it is that kill that led them to receive an A instead of an S and therefore lose more LP.
