As much as I would just love to have to hit 100LP to promo, I like having promos.

Makes it not a easy.

That, and if Rito suddenly removed them and 100 LP would be enough to promote, they would either need to make LP gains much lower than they are now, or make the ladder longer(like 7 divisions in each tier, or two additional tiers) or half of population would be diamond.

Half the population wouldnt be diamond just because plat 5 exists

Another thing maybe would be 150LP to promo (same as 2 wins pretty much)

And then 175 for division rank up.

But I like the way its at now.

I think promos should just exist between Tiers myself. If you are going from I to V, is the only time it'd make sense. Having to go through them the rest of the way is such a waste of time,

I think you should only have promos in Bronze I ,Silver I, Gold I, Platinum I and Diamond I

Getting 100 LP is hard? I actually like promos. It means people actually have to win games to rise in elo. It also means that ~~boosted monkeys~~ some people stay at the elo they belong in.

Promos are actually giving you the feeling that climbing up a League is worth something.

Only beef I have is getting zero LP for winning in promos but losing LP if we lose. At minimum the LP difference from getting into the promo series from the last win should carry over.

IE. at 90 LP, win a game getting 21 LP to get into promo right now gets you to 100 only. -Right now win your series and you're at 0 LP; Should give you 11 LP for the difference from getting +21 to get to 90-100 then the carryover 11 -Lose your series and you'd be at something like 89LP if you went LWL for -15 +20 -16; if it incorporated the carryover 11 lost you'd be right back into promos.

nope getting 99 lp ,then winning 1 point for fucking 99+1 just to reach promo thats fucking annoying

NoblewindNov 1, 20161 votes

Why not just get rid of the Promo at 100, and change it to 150?

I.e. You get to 140LP in Silver 2, win a game then you are auto in Silver 1 with 0LP. Repeat.

It would be roughly the same process in terms of games + spacing between the divisions, but you aren't forced into needing a 60% winrate during a specific group of games (which just feels...inconsistent at times with respect to the fact it's a points system that doesn't even match players in games based on your LP)

High5Nov 1, 20161 votes

The entire system just hides the ladder climb. The divisions and promo gates are either arbitrary accomplishments or an arbitrary way of blocking progress.

Promos especially suck because people can see when you're in promos and throw on purpose.

Match making and he ladder have never been a great in LoL though. Just depends how much tolerance you have for a ladder system that kinda works and players that kinda care.

Use op.gg to see who you're matched with. It was tolerable 2 seasons ago. Dq was atrocious though.
