Lp system improvement

To whom it may concern,

Lets say that you won a game and you have 99 Lp, painful huh? You have to play another game just for 1 single, lonely, time consuming Lp. My recommendation is to let the Lp cap go past 100, this means when you win a game when you already have 99 Lp you can get to like 118 Lp. I strongly believe this is just because when you lose games in your series your Lp does go down. So as of today, if you win a game for only 1 Lp, 18 Lp or so are gone into the Lp Blackhole. When you lose games in your series your Lp does down and if you lose another game it gets down to around 60. Now if you had that extra Lp. Lp wouldn't be wasted and the win that you got for 1 lonely Lp would not feel kinda useless. If you lose your promos, it would not feel as bad because you would have a little extra, rightfully earned, Lp.

Thank you, Cesar Estrada/ FG Pharaoh.

The cap/min transition creates a situation that troubles many industries, so I shall provide an alternative universe example: Imagine a factory floor with multiple stages of construction, and a waiting line in front of each stage.

Now simulate this with dice: Give a group of people a starting set of a dozen toothpicks, designate one player the beginning and another the ending. Each player then rolls a dice for how many toothpicks they "process" and thereby can transfer from their waiting line to the next player.

This scenario does not result in even and average flow of toothpicks across the conveyor belt. Instead we get bottlenecks and producers starved for raw materials. And the reason is the same: Hitting and capping at boundary conditions.

So in 1 sentence. There would be too many people climbing with no space in the ladder for them?

One sentence challenge: When a player reaches the top or bottom of a League Division the LP is cropped, and the result of that cropping is both an inaccuracy in division placement and an artificial impedement to the natural ebb and flow of player sorting across the MMR spectrum.
