Let's get Ranked Based on Individual Grade in Game

Quietpartner·5/10/2017, 8:03:33 PM·4 votes·1,397 views

I have an idea for making the ranking system in League of Legends better and more fair. Why aren't we ranked (ex. Bronze, Silver, Gold, etc.) instead based on our individual grade, which shows up in the match summary at the end of the game? Everyone gets a grade for how they played their champ from S to D. S being the best, D being the worst. For example, suppose my teammate gets an A or higher, he should get LP regardless of whether he loses or wins the game. The higher the grade the more LP he should get. On the other hand if I manage to get a C or lower I should lose LP. Those that get a B gain none and lose none. Wouldn't that be more fair?

It seems to me it would be more fair than getting S's 80% of the time only to lose 80% of the games we play because our teammates made poor choices. Losing games in ranked only results in the loss of LP regardless of how well one plays. Come on Riot, lets not punish more skilled players, because they are matched with less skilled teammates. I think it would make games more competitive and fun for everyone. What do you think?

Edit: Riot could also reward a significant amount of bonus LP to teams that win, that way they still encourage team play. I'm just proposing a way to make climbing more fair and competitive.

Yes please - I'd love to see your personal grade at least influence the LP won or lost from ranked matches.

If you fed your opponent in a huge way, you are one of the primary reasons for the loss.

Conversely, if you carried your team and died very little, it's obvious you hugely contributed to the victory.

So when I play elise support and last-hit ks all your kills I get an S and you get an A-. Yeah that seems like a solid plan. Unless there was an actual analyst looking at every match, it's kinda hard for them to write a program that accurately does what you would want it to do. It would be nice, but it's not really feasible with modern tech yet I think.

So, you want me to play full AD Yi support, and steal all the kills and cs whenever possible? To hell with supporting. I can't afford to let teammates get in the way of my LP.

This basically discourages teamplay, and actively punishes a number of playstyles (selfless tank plays, lane swaps to give a hypercarry farm while you starve in a 1v2 lane, etc).

This idea just has too many flaws and problems to be feasible at all.

It's a team game. Not a solo carry game. That's what a lot of people in bronze and silver needs to learn

I can get good grades while not helping my team win though.

I could also be the deciding factor in every teamfight, but If I kill myself by diving to do it, then my grade will show it.

Grade doesn't equal influence

part of the game is being able to work with your team. That is a part of your individual grading

First thing to realize: Grading System is BULLSHIT! Stop arguing about how it would work out - I cant even count the amount of S I got by playing absolute crap as well the amount of As and Bs I got for actually winning the freaking game! All it does is basicly giving you a grade based on your CS/s and jumps completely out of the window when playing anything offmeta, nothing else.

So pls - say goodbye to this grading system first and stop arguing with it, thx.
