So, i was gold 3 0 lp in jungle? And silver 4 in mid. I was playing Mid and lost thinking I wasn't even going to get demoted in jungle, however I was. Now, You would think the game would just leave me at gold 4 97 lp, to be consistent with the +3/-3 splash for your role that you are not playing. So not only did I get demoted, But I lost 25 lp? Why is riot games adding splash +/- lp that is only of 3 lp. But Riot games is recycling the same game code as if you got demoted normally as in other seasons prior to this. Why did I just lose 25 lp? That is not how splash is supposed to work. Splash should not even exist to begin with. Theoretically I will be diamond in jungle, before i can even get to silver 1 in every other role due to splash. Assuming I climbed from gold 3 jungle to diamond, and had good game knowledge/mechanics. Good enough to win and carry plat+, do you really think, i would be at the silver level in other roles? Not only is your splash system defective, but its also recycling the same game code as it would if u got demoted thus losing 25 lp because you lost in a role that you don't play. That is a double negative, you are encouraging playing different roles to rank up, but will penalize you for trying to learn. That is such a joke. If you want to use that same system, you need to make it so you can get promoted too if u get to 100 in your main role and any role for that matter. Remove promos from the game, and make it a fluid system. There is no reason for promos. Promos are supposedly made harder to win because your system wants to see if you are good enough to carry and play at the next level, but that too is also flawed, as you have to do that in every division, in and out of promos. Promos are just a cuck to limit the amount of people climbing and we know that. Fix your ranked system. Remove splash, and promos.

Although I'm not in favor of positional ranking, splash needs to stay while it's enabled and the demoting needs to happen.

Do you actually expect Riot to hold players hands when they under perform on their auto-filled role? Riot is already holding players hands by putting them close to their rank.

Funny you say under performed as I did the most damage that game. Whats funny is you could be amazing at playing jungle, but then lose the second you play support. Also you must take into account, that splash caps at 100 lp. Meaning i could climb to challenger right now, and then when i go to play off role, I will still be whatever silver 4 100 lp in every other role. Splash does not even work properly. You mustn't forget about that.

Positional ranking is just garbage in general.

Or you know... You could take your offrole games seriously instead of whining about losing and being demoted

You are forgetting, that i did the most damage, and lost 25 lp when splash is only 3 Read a little closer before making a reply like that

Like that in itself is an issue. Losing 25 lp when splash is supposed to be +/- 3. I lost 25 because the game thought i played jungle since i was getting demoted for losing that, I lost 25. That is the same mechanic ranked uses if u get demoted playing your main role anyways. You go from 0 lp say division 3 to 75 lp division 4
