What if the LP system was able to go above 100LP?

Say you are at 94 LP and gain 16 which puts you at 100 which and in turn a promotion series for reaching the requirements. Currently you have 10 wasted LP from this victory and this is why people dread being at anything above the average amount of LP they gain from a win. 95+LP sucks to get since you knwo you are getting a lot of wasted LP if you win the next game.

What if a changed were to be made to this. You are at 94 LP and gain 16 that would put you at 110 in turn putting you in a promotion series for having met or exceting the requirments Then say you lose the first game in your promo seriesyou lose 12 meaning you are at 98 Then you win and gain 16 you are at 114 Then lose your last losing 12 landing you at 102 meaning you are in another promotion series.

Say you win your next to games meaning you gain a total of 32 this means you will be at 34 in this new division.

Basically the idea is to have LP have goals to at least reach instead of limits that ca nnot be passed unless you beat the series.

ONE DOWN SIDE. No safety 0 LP games since the other limit is being removed by this change. Your end of season rank boarder is decided by the highest point you have been in the past 25 ranked games and have also beat the promotion series for. So if you made it to diamond and then go on a 5W to 50 loss rampage you will not be diamond.

This by all means seems completely fair and balanced. It allows you breathing room to recover from a 5 game lose after winning a promo series but does not allow players to endlessly play badly and still get rewards they are clearly not able to maintain. All the while it keeps all the LP you gain from every win even in promos.

your mmr climbs even when ur not gaining lp but ur winning games so your lp gained after you get +16 to 94, enter series, win the series you should be getting maybe +18 +19 per win in your future games

The idea is to make promotion series a side effect of gaining LP instead of the main goal of gaining LP.
