What if I am at 98LP? 97LP?

You have to draw the line somewhere.

This is a valid point. Where is the line drawn? I'd say at 95 LP. However, I believe that if you hit that 95+ LP mark and get into promos you should not be granted the free win unless you gained over 100LP on your way to promos.

Another compromise would be to not give the free LP but to carry over additional LP past 100 into the next rank.

They should just let you go above 100lp in case you lose your promos.

SpoofghoulOct 10, 20164 votes

Wow yes this is a much better idea actually.

That way being at anywhere from 91-99 lp wouldn't suck as hard as it currently does.

And lets face it if 99 becomes the same as 100 people will be bitching about 98lp pretty soon because it would be the same situation allover again.

This. Tbh there shouldn't be a cap on LP, and you should just automatically start promos if you're at 100 or more.

why not make it so that you can go over 100 LP and if you win your promos you keep the amount you have over 100 instead?

But 1 RP would nice.

Only if I can use the 1 RP to buy an extra 30-50 minutes of my life to complete another game of league that will hopefully be a victory because if not I'll be tilted to all hell because I was so close to promos and enter crippling depression, eventually opting to buy opious amounts of ice cream and a puppy on impulse only to find that nothing will stop the pain.

Yeah that'd be fine with me :)

You can go over during promos, but if you lose you will deplete that amount...

Having a system in-place that gives you 1LP per 5 or 10 games played that you can accumulate over time to use in situations like that would be nice. Rewarding a loyal player anyway..

I don't know why you got downvoted. I think it's a great idea. Although there is little problem, Riot would be losing a couple cents. So, their investor/internet company Tencent wouldn't approve of such great ideas of losing even a penny.

dunkeroniOct 10, 20161 votes

This guy is saying to give LP every few games, not RP. Tencent would only care about losing money in the form of RP, they wouldn't bat an eye if the ranked system lost integrity due to free LP gains.

1 800 Top LaneOct 10, 20161 votes

" lost integrity due to free LP gains."

That's 10 LP per 100 ranked games, just stfu

dunkeroniOct 10, 20161 votes

Regardless, there will be an inflationary change across all ELOs, with a much higher significance in the higher ranks where there are less LP gains per match.

Take for example someone in silver 3, who wins exactly 50% of his or her matches, alternating between wins and losses. Discounting any outliers in dynamic queue boosting that would affect the average MMR of the game, this player would sit steadily gaining and losing the same amount of LP every game. After 100 games, he or she would still be in silver 3. After 200 games, he or she would still be in silver 3.

If every 10 games 1LP was given to the player, then it would take 1000 games to jump up a queue. You can either argue that this would be negligible and not matter, in which case they shouldn't add this, or you can argue that it is significant, in which case it would cause inflation in the ranks and would give rank ups to players who don't deserve it over time.

I'm not a fan of your two options, in no way am I forced to pick one.

When a player is faithful, plays hundreds of games, even thousands. Buys skins and promotes the community. Giving that player a gentle nudge is nothing but a confidence boost. If you're saying it will boost players into an elo they should not be in, how would that matter? Riot says there is nothing wrong with their system and the law of averages would apply knocking that player back to the elo he should be in.

dunkeroniOct 10, 20161 votes

Giving players a "gentle nudge" is nothing but placebo if they aren't good enough to rank up on their own. If their skills improve, they will be able to rank up, otherwise giving them more LP will just put them against stronger opponents where they will lose and be right back to where they started.

Im dying... All i read was "Fuck I'm in bronze pls rito I've played a lot and i always lose let me gain free RP lmfao"

Ben SharpioOct 10, 20163 votes

or, since you play akali, you can just queue up for another game and instakill everything with sunfire into gunblade during the laning phase and end the game in under 10 minutes?

If i got 1 RP for every time I had 99LP I would have all of Riots store content....

Shit, that's alot of stuff in there bud.

Tychusfindlay919Oct 10, 20163 votes

Nay, because then 98 LP will become the new 99 LP, and then 97 LP will become the new 99 LP, and so on and so forth. Riot shouldn't waver at all.

WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK I WAS AT PLAT 1 99 LP 2 DAYS BUT NOW IM DEMOTED AND AT 55 LP IN PLAT 2!!!!!

MansanaOct 10, 20161 votes

I'd say if the thresh hold passes +10 LP net loss/worth, next win should put you in promos and gives you that extra win for that promo. For example you at 90Lp but you've been getting 20+ LP per win I think it should just give benefit of the doubt. Would be a much smoother system.

MonkeyMadnessOct 10, 20161 votes

As frustrating as it is to miss a promo by 1 LP, you can't just arbitrarily hand out LP. Rules is rules. Need 100 for promo series, not 99.
