Why does losing a 4v5 affect LP

FaintingSatyr··2 votes·359 views

I don't understand why a game where someone is DC'd for most of it should affect LP. Why do players get penalized for losing a 4v5 since there is such a low chance of winning? The remake feature that has been added is great, but that doesn't help when players load in and then either rage quit or DC for some other reason. why not implement a system to void a game once a player is DC'd for a certain period of time?

Because its abusable.

I would be in favor of the person DCing receving 100% of combined LP loss for the team, and restrict duo to +/- 100 LP.

Just like Dipsydoop said, it's abusable.

You can leave before you lose so no one gets or loses lp.

that's why I mentioned DC'd for a certain period of time, and obviously the person that left should be penalized. But why penalize the rest of the team that now has such a low chance of winning?

Because winning 5v4 does also.

Would be fun reading after winning: "One of the opponents had a DC at some point in the game - no LP for you this time. Better luck next time." [slayer-jinx-catface]
