Takes too long to climb with seperate ranks per role

Hi Riot,

+/- 3 LP isnt enough for when you get filled to your off role. It is about 1/5 of a 'real' game. It's about the same amount as dodging queue.

In addition, I'm 50/50 mid/top, I like to alternate between mid and top. This new system makes climbing too slow.

Thanks, Crunkmastaflex

It also is screwing with the Matching. More games are just Stomps one side or the other.

Hi Riot,

+/- 3 LP isnt enough for when you get filled to your off role. It takes roughly 5 games to match just 1 'real' game. It's about the same amount as dodging queue.

Seems to depend on rank, over in Silver I'm at 0 top 0 mid 5 adc 7 support 8 jungle

Even when I tried to specifically pick mid WITH autofill protection just to get splash going it took 3 tries where it kept assigning me my 2nd choice.

I actually came to the boards to see if there was a post on this already. I've won 6 games and lost 1 today, but I like to play a lot of different roles. I had already been placed in mid and jungle and wanted to play some support. After all was said and done I didn't rank up in anything but support and got less LP in mid and jungle than I would have by simply winning one of those games on either of those roles. (+18LP total - a win would have garnered me 22-28 LP). Needless to say that's kind of underwhelming. I think this system is fine for those who only play two roles all the time, but a lot of players like to switch things up; I think because the game gets boring otherwise.

Anyways good on you for posting this. Hopefully we can maybe get a bigger 'splash' LP if the roles are close in rank. Maybe 1-3 divisions you maybe get 10LP+ for other roles close to the rank of the role you're playing). +3 LP or +4 LP for other roles seems extremely low - especially because as the OP has said the role doesn't matter all the much especially if you are used to filling as your main.

Keep in mind that how much your mmr moves doesn’t really matter as much as how fast your mmr is moving compared to everyone around you. If riot doubled the mmr splashing, everyone would get more mmr so it will take you just as long to get into the top 200 or top 2% or whatever rank correlates with your goal.
