Start off with some LP after winning promos

Just like how losing promos results in people dropping back to their current division with 50-70 LP. Winning promos should give people a decent fraction of how much LP they would've gained after normally winning their games

Then players would have to lose the buffer they have that protects from being demoted immediately upon reaching 0 LP.

The minor division buffers are usually pointless tbh. You win one game and it takes 2 sometimes 3 to get back to 0 lp so by the time ur back at 0 the 3-game shield is gone. Unless your tilted and int 3 games in a row directly after promotion it doesn't do much.

Personally, that would be a good thing.

Then people saying "the only reason you can get bronze players in gold games is with the demotion shield!" can be proven wrong, and we can actually start holding Riot accountable for their horrific matchmaking. >.>

I don't even play rank and I think this is a good idea.

the problem with this is that it would make it so you have low MMR for the amount of LP you have, nobody wants this, other than that its good tho and would also disencourage the "I just won promos I'm at 0 LP watch me int".

I would rather start off at 90 LP if u lose promo and not back to to 50 LP which is kinda annoying when you need to carry apes

Promotion protection is already in place. We don’t need ranks artificially inflated anymore.

only for sub platinum and this would be fine, but plat and above this could be something to abuse, so not for above plat
