Ranked LP Change Request

Hello Riot and Fellow Players,

Something recently has been really bothering me regarding Ranked LP.

The first issue is the assumption of Riot regarding distributing/taking away LP. The current assumption is that 3 to 5 strangers in solo/duo are a team; when, in fact, they are usually 3 to 5 individual players with no real synergy. Therefore game outcomes can skew greatly regardless of solid play from up to 3 contestants.

With that in mind, it really bothers me that a player receiving an A or S in solo/duo receive the same amount of loss in LP as the folks who didn't perform well.

My solution:

In a ranked loss anything B or lower receives the current LP loss. However, anyone scoring A receives only half LP loss, and a score of S receives no LP loss at all.

It seems to me that this would make the scoring system more fair to folks who get caught in bad teams.

First of all grades you get for playing champions are bad way to know if somebody did good. E.G. I could play Sona mid go 0 3 10 and still earn an S because most people that did play Sona mid in my elo were inting. That doesnt mean Sona Mid is viable or that i helped my team at all. It just means I am not as retarded as others that have done the same thing. Next criteria for getting S on certain roles is to hmmmpfh. Finaly while i do like idea of reducing LP loss, that would make people become score hunters. You would see Bard ksing your ADC because HE CANT GET DEMOTED TO GOLD, while in fact that kill could have saved your entire game. So i dont think game is ready yet for such glorious plans. Maybe one day.

LP gains/losses being affected by mastery grade encourages selfish playstyles. Think you'll lose after stomping the enemy laner? Just ignore team and splitpush and soak farm while the enemy is beating your nexus. Cut your losses and try to boost your own score to keep from losing.
