Gain LP if you lose??

Meat Feast·Aug 20, 2016·3 votes·489 views

In the spirit of moving people up and down the elo ladder more efficiently, wouldn't it make sense to allow someone to gain LP in a ranked game even if they lost based on their in-game rating. For example, if you get a troll team where there's actual intentional feeding, however you have a great score that's S tier worthy, then even if you lose the game it would make sense that you should gain LP because you're doing well. This would possibly eliminate elo hell because you're team can no longer drag you down the elo ladder.

The only thing that would bring is people playing only for themselves. So long as you got an S, who cares what happens with the rest of the team?

I gave you an upvote because I don't like the downvote mob rule on this forum. But I will say no. It would encourage people to play selfishly. And more so, it would create an environment where climbing is really easy on specific champions and playstyles. And impossible on others.

sure as long as long as it gets people to quit bitching about how they are better then the feeders they play with that are holding them back after 1000 games of rank of still being in bronze or being gold for 4 season crying that bad players in gold keeping them from diamond.
