What is 99 LP

If they made the exception based on your suggestion, then players would be posting this.

::: "What the hell even is 98 LP?"

That said, your LP is accounted for still when you promote. You'll earn LP faster as you win more matches in a row, so it's not really lost. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, there're about 3,000 of these types of threads. I think there're few polls as well.

nope... gotta earn it

It's 1 LP less than 100 LP.

A bit of a bummer but if your LP gain is higher then your lp loss even then your looking at only needing 1 win even after a loss to hit 100. course if your lp gain is meh then its a hassle but that's mmr working as intended.

Its just the right amount of "fuck you" to get you to tilt, go on a losing streak, and get demoted.

Or maybe this post +99LP is just the right amount? Either way, you're there now. Enjoy.
