Everybody has probably been there: that feel when the math distribution just doesn't work in your favor and you sit at 95-99 LP. Now instead of going into your promos, you have to spend all that time again just for that small amount of LP to bump you up to 100.
Or perhaps instead your LP being able to go above 100 instead
So if you are at 94 and gain 16 that would put you at 110 Then say you lose a game which makes you lose 12 meaning you are at 98 Then you win and gain 16 you are at 114 Then lose your last losing 12 landing you at 102 meaning you are in another promotion series.
Say you win your next to games meaning you gain a total of 32 this means you will be at 34 in this new division.
The thing is you always must have points where you are "close". If this change were to theoretically go through, when you end up at 94 LP, you will be like "Damn, I'm so close, but now I have to play another win to get to promos."
Not to mention this change is the exact same as changing the cap for going into promos 95, except with unnecessary complication.
Nah, that would just cause 94 LP to become the new 99 LP :p
What about 94 now? Thats so close so it should count as well. And 93. And 92... Face it, at some point your gonna get the short end of the stick. You pretty much have to suck it up. I don't know what people want: to make the game easier so that higher rank means nothing or make the game harder to separate the good from the bad.
Up until master, the only thing that actually matters is your mmr anyway.
If you land at 99 LP, whatever, you get 3 games worth of mmr increases before your promotion instead of 2, which in turn means you'll gain LP in your next division slightly faster, and so on.
No, its a good idea but shouldn't be implemented. Then people are going to start talking about how you should be able to play promos at 90 lp, since "math distribution doesn't work in your favor." It's a good idea, but shouldn't be executed this way, since it creates the same crying that is seen now adays.
Won't that just push the perceived problem off onto "94" instead of "99"?
See alot of crying outta this kid.
Lol what a nonsense suggestion. All Riot would do with this suggestion (if they'd take this suggestion seriously) is to make the LP growth go from 0 to 94 instead of 0 to 99, effectively changing nothing. I mean, the LP system is cosmetic anyway, if that'd make you happy, lol.
So ppl with 94 LP start complaining?
personally, if you deserve the higher elo, it shouldnt matter either way
No, it shouldn't. They already made it so that everyone gold and below get a free win on their next promos if they lose one, and that was just because too many people couldn't climb and were complaining. If they implement this, even more people will climb when they shouldn't.
I myself understand it is frustrating as well, but it's part of the climbing process. If you can't get the extra win at some point, then you don't deserve the next rank. I don't even agree with Riot implementing the original change of getting a free win if you lose a series, but I suppose I can't say much about that now.
