The LP System is in Need of a Fix!!!

MY previous post on the matter was removed as a "Riot Games" ignored it's actual content and took what was providing broad case examples of losses to point out that I was not complaining about losses in general but about the full LP Losses when a feeder or an afk/dc was significantly at fault as trying to bring the players to attention.

"From: Riot Games

Hey R31W1NG,

We understand that you want to get word out about these players and their in-game behaviors but this is not the correct avenue to get attention on them. Please continue to use our in-game reporting system to put these players through our behavioral systems."

this is not what the post was about. It was about the lack of an LP Loss Prevention system for the teams of those players. I provided generalized formula to mitigate the losses of the victim team to such players. Which should have been implemented in some form years ago and I provided formula for LP punishment for those whom are deliberately-feeding, or afk/dc.

The LP system is a Vital Part of Ranked Gameplay.

I propose a system which could or could not punish the offending parties but does lessen the grief caused to others. here is that system.

In event of win if afk/dc LP to be given normally x afk or dc Time in match / Match Duration = LP amount to afk or dc; LP to amount from afk or dc = normal - amount to afk or dc LP to be given normally + LP amount from afk or dc = LP amount to rest or LP to be given normally + (LP amount from afk or dc / amount of other players on team) = LP amount to rest if feeder Remove all LP from feeder and distribute to team either / amount of other players on team or give each member full amount

In event of Loss If afk/dc LP to be lost normally + (LP to be lost normally x (afk or dc time absent / match duration) * amount of other players on team) = LP to lost for afk or dc or LP to be lost normally + (LP to be lost normally x afk or dc time absent / match duration ) = LP to lost for afk or dc or LP to be lost normally = LP to lost for afk or dc LP to be lost normally - (LP to be lost normally x afk or dc time absent / match duration) = LP to lost for rest if feeder Refund the feeder's team their LP Subtract the Feeder's teams' initially lost LP

This assumes LP lost is considered a negative value... And that feeder is taken to mean intentional feeder

This system would help remove the grief and anguish of the victimized players and could or could not be used as an additional punishment for the offending parties with the mere exclusion/inclusion of the punishments for them.

I am not intending to bring attention to these offending players but to bring attention to a serious cause of fun loss in League that many MOBA's have a system to help mitigate and I propose a system to mitigate said problem. I firmly believe such a system (without the additional punishment for feeder, afk/dc) would improve the ranked play experience for every ranked player within League of Legends.

I think this would bring some balance to rank and punishment for those who leavePoppy

SOMETHING needs to be done... to work your butt off during a game, earn an A+ or S or even a B but to lose because somebody trolled, or went AFK and you lose 23 LP due to no fault of your own, just sucks.

I've brought this up several times on the boards but always get told "play better" or "find better teams" ... there is no pity from other players, and Riot sure doesn't give a crap about us "free" players stuck down in Bronze for season after season because we play alone and have to rely on the teams we are assigned to.

Good luck bringing attention to the problem but the simple fact of the matter is ... "Riot doesn't care about players who don't make them money"
