Rank lp gain. Let's make this a reality.

Ive been playing league for a while and i think it's ridiculous to have 99lp. You need to invest another 25-30min to get 1lp. Then you need 2 more win for a division. I propose that if u play a game and u reach 95points it bumps u up to 100 for promos or if you win at 95-99 it counts as a win. 1entire game for an lp gain between 1 and 4 is ridiculous. At least at 90 to 94 theres a "big" enough margin to say ok one more game! Some people can argue that 95 is stretching it a little bit too much but 98 or 99.... CMON!

promo games should be gone, whats the use, its pretty much proven they are completely stacked to make you have a higher chance of losing.

have an LP pool with ranks dedicated to said pool, think that was in season 1 and 2, (started in 3)

rather than that, I'd rather it kinda... go over the LP cap of 100 so that in case you lose those promos, you have more of a buffer and are pretty much 100% sure to only need one win to get back in

But then you will cry about 94 lp and say it isn't right to spend another 30 minutes of your life gaining 1 lp to 95. That's not a good solution

It's even more cringe/absurd than that. After you reach 100 LP - if you fail your promotion all the loses are taken into account - in terms of LP. As in... you had 100 LP - and failed to advanced to next division - and now now you have around 40 - 60 LP. Yet... SAME CAN'T BE SAID ABOUT THE GAMES YOU WON! As in... if you win all the games needed to advance - you start in next Division with 0 LP!

If you're 99 LP - you need 4 Wins to advance from G1 to Platinum 4. That's around 2 hours - only to start with 0 lp. The only Pro about this type of promotion... it will tank some losses - even if you lost 4 games in a row from Platinum 1 / 76 LP. On the other hand - if you're Gold 1 / 76 LP and loose 5 game in a row - you might fall directly to Gold 2. Only after you advanced to Gold 1 / 0 LP - you're sure to have your next loses tanked.

I needed 13 tries to win the promo to gold V, after that i skyrocketed to plat I, like what the hell? I spent more time in silver 1 than any other division combined, just delete those rigged games please.

I'm against this only because you'll begin to feel the same way about 94 LP as you do about 99 LP now. I'm not saying it doesn't suck, just that what your proposed isn't a solution.

Removing promos/divisions may be a solution, depending on how you feel about that. I myself am not very opinionated on it one way or another, however.

they need to remove mmr along with fixing this shit

I think that its fair enough. Why would you gain more points if you don't deserve to? Yes, it's a waste of time but it wouldnt be faire to have a free lp because that is not how mmr works. Also, if you have a good mmr , you normally gain more than you lose so just take it like a free win.

Also, if you win that game, you're going to have a really good mmr so take it like something good because all tat matters is your mmr, not the number of lp you have.

I like it, but I have a different angle. What about instead if your gains are lets say 10. (which is low I know easier math though) If the difference between your gain and your LP is less than 40% you get a free promo on entering.

So with gaining 10 per win, I've I'm at 94 and win I do not get a free promo as it was only a loss of 4 points, but if I am at 96 I get a free promo. Scaling it to whatever lp you'd like.

imo its intended. i have had this case that much that they decrease my lp-gain just for hittin 99 LP, no joke. I just (a few days ago) experienced that rubbish: Playing flex to hit gold since my teammates are all platinum players and i like to play with them. just got silver 1, lost one game, win 3 games in a row, the LP: +-0 (lose), +27 LP, +26 LP, +26 LP, so i was on 79 LP, right? Just won one more and got 20 LP just to hit 99 LP. So the excuse could be, that the last match was unlucky MMR match up but since my winrate was about 70%, my LP-gain should increase. anyways, this case happened like 10 times in my league play time since season 4. just like to mention that this isnt a random case, i think its on purpose.

Agreed. This system is flawed and Riot shouldn't be ashamed to seriously consider suggestions like these. The fact that they are almost willingly ignoring these problems is saddening when it could easily be improved

In 90% of circumstances you can afford a loss at 95-99lp, you just have to win 1 out of 2 games.
