Ranking System

Why the hell are league points based off of winning or losing, I carry almost every match, push objectives and always lose because of feeders. This game is almost pointless to play because my teammates inhibit me from ranking up.

Because it is a team game and Riot wants you to focus on winning the game not KDA.

but if your are pushing objectives and have a high KDA and play as team, but your team feeds?

Happens to us all, unfairly, but it does.

It happens. It is a team game. The only suggestion I can possibly give you is carry harder :(? Start doing squats so you can put your team on your back easier :D.

Also I am sure you are aware why they DON'T reward you for individual play. It would create toxic gameplay because then people will only start caring about KDA and despite doing well, you get punished. Some roles by their nature are designed NOT to have high kills and to die often. Supports/tanks fit into this role. It isn't fair for them to get punished for playing their role well, but get less because they don't have a 15/0/0 KDA like the ADC just because they let the ADC get everything.

it would make it easier if I lost less LP for losing and earned more for winning but I am aware of the individual play toxicity.

If you are losing more LP then you are winning, the system thinks you belong in a lower then where you are currently ranked. Depending on where you are losing and where you are currently placed, your mmr might be a few tiers or possibly a division lower then where you currently are. Your goal right now should be to try and win so you don't drop instead of rising.

I agree, what they should adapt is a system similar to counter-strike, based off kda and objectives. There is a popular streamer who had a katarina who was silver play on a platinum account and the dude popped off, he just needed to fine tune some of his mechanics but he was playing at a plat level. That is proof enough, i currently sit at gold but I don't play many games, i enjoy aram more than ranked because of the less toxicity you see ingame. I'd probably be higher if I put time into it, but 5's is so unbearable it makes you want to rip out your eye sockets from the stupidity spewed into chat. Half the teams don't understand macro gameplay and the other half are mindless.
