Elo Gains Should Be Reduced When You Play an Overpowered Champion

Obviously, there are some champions that are way too overpowered. I propose that for every 1% winrate above 50% that a champion has, all elo gains on that champion are reduced by 5%. For example, if you play a champion with a 55% winrate, your elo gain if you win would be reduced by 25%. Additionally, your elo loss would be increased by the same amount (25%).

As an added bonus, this could also be applied in the opposite way to underpowered champions. For every 1% winrate a champion is below 50%, your elo gains are increased by 5% and your elo losses are reduced by 5%.

This is a terrible idea.

Better idea; stop intentionally gimping yourself and then crying that someone else's champion is better.

this is a terrible idea imho. what if im just minding my own, climbing through the ranks playing poppy rushing item 3194 when suddenly jensen pulls her out in one of his ranked games with a secret OP build? why should i be subject to this especially considering it wasnt the build i was using? (all hypothetical) now her winrate jumps to 56% and now im punished for simply playing a champion i enjoy.

or if we're basing it off of winrate as your post asks, then that means champs with a high winrate are now subject to this. i.e, if i play support asol, but then win 3 games, but no one else has ever done this i now have a 100% winrate. by your clause, im now exempt from 100% of my LP gains. technically at a 5% for every 1% over the cap, i would sacrifice 100% of my LP at 70% winrate, so any more then that and by technicality would be losing LP for playing it.

There are too many scrubs on these boards.

This is a good idea. IP gains should be reduced for champs with extraordinary win rates. Totally.
