I'm certain that all league players has encountered that lack of 1 LP towards the advancement game. Perhaps that lack of 1 to 3 LP can be purchase with RP. That way players that doesn't feel like to spend one more game because of lacking that few LP. Its a win win situation.

CaptainAJ1 voteshighly doubt you can pay to win, even if you do it won't be as fun. You can pay other players to play for you thou. i was just saying that sometimes that lack of 1 LP is just annoying but again I do not know the system how it works.
LostFr0st1 votesThe reason it leaves someone on 1 LP left is usually due to their MMR being too low. The "extra game" is to help fix that.
CaptainAJ1 votesThank you for clarification on it. I can understand the extra game fixing the MMR but how does MMR been calculated? Does this mean maybe riot should extend the 100 LP to 150 LP for the promo games? That way the MMR will be higher?
LostFr0st1 votesThat wouldn't change anything/would just make it weird. For those who have adequate MMR they climb quickly, for those who need the MMR they hold them at 99LP, for those who just recently promoted they shield them from getting demoted. Plus they have promohelper for the unlucky ones.
MMR is match making rating. They haven't told the community what the secret sauce is. All we know is it's how they match people.
CaptainAJ2 votessometimes i feel like certain games are so easy. The teammates are pretty good (I main support, so highly depending on carries) but sometimes teammates just so troll. I know when I'm in a winning streak, I always play till a lose. Its either winning streak or losing streak XD its good that they shield the promoted ones from demoted.
Who is Taliyah1 votesIf you're at 95+ LP and get get another win to get into promo, then being in the promo to begin with would have been worse. I'd rather lose the game before promo than the first game in promo. It's mostly a psychological way of thinking, but if the first game is a lose already, it really gets to you.
CaptainAJ1 votesmaybe there's some truths in that. if you won that game they put you among skill players and if you lose they put you among less skill players?
