if i get an S on a gane i lose can i lose less LP

getting an S when your fed isn't always hard... getting an S when your losing the game... its a quite a bit harder

now maybe idk i can lose like 3-5 less lp for getting an S when i lose?

i don't think grades should determine whether you win or lose LP.. but if i get an S when i LOSE i clearly know how to play..

i mean yes i am gaining 23 lp when i win and only losing 15 when i lose. I'm going to climb anyways... the ranking system KNOWS I'm lower than where i belong...

but i feel i should lose a BIT less lp in games which, by your own system, shows I did exceedingly well in.

it will at least get me to were i belong faster

climbing isn't fun, i have much less fun destroying players who aren't at my level , than i do playing with and against who can put up a fight at my own level.. i would ran not ever climb and stay where i am and have fun balanced games.

the faster i get to that point the better. i don't have time to play ranked as much as i used to because of my job (although having money is nice) if i can prove i am doing exceedingly well when i play ranked even if i lose. i feel that losing a tiny bit less lp would help me reach where i belong faster. so i can get some good even matches in..

I honestly kind of agree with this... maybe MMR/LP really should be influenced, even if only slightly, by grades.

well then would people then play for an "S" then the "W" if the game is going down hill ? would they still try as hard to win instead of just a good grade for their performance knowing if they do that , boost cs/wards stupid shit like that just so they know they wont lose as much LP?

i highly doubt people who are losing are going to be able to boost their grade to an S if they arn't already doing very good anyways.

i mean we ALMOST won that game... they took baron and we turn around and killed four of them... its just the one person that survived was thier fed Yorick had the baron buff. and we just couldn't the him down when they grouped as 5 mid with baron empowered minions

i really don't think people would be able to climb from the grade they have to an S if they are actively avoiding try to win

that's now how grades work...

but people will knowingly go into game trying to play for an S just incase the lose ... therefore wont make those coin flip plays/decisions that decide games in the fear they wont get the S if it goes bad... and they would more afk farm etc then fight/group cuz we all know how much CS plays into grades

or you get more off meta/troll picks cuz we all know that is what people were doing to get tokens for mastery levels so you will see weird shit picked and when dont win but get an S on raka top they know hey i lost less LP

it creates a slippery slope

why on earth would people go in to ranked trying to lose less lp rather than trying to WIN lp by winning...

and anyways... if they system that grades gives you a higher grades for actively trying NOT to win... then it isn't working properly to begin with.

if your playing wrong then you SHOULDN'T have a higher chance of getting an S, you should have a LOWER chance

but you shouldnt worry bout the grade ... at all...

your grade dont translate to win or loss so by rewarding people with less LP loss for losing game they are gonna say its unfair. they dont get higher grades and blame riot and so on and you will see more of the post we already see is HOW IS THIS NOT AN S when i went 7-2-2 and had 50 cs on fizz and so on

and with it being a team game solo queue rankings are kinda misleading... you can be carried all the way to whatever rank ... we see it with duos / elo boosting

i think it will cause people to play more selfishly in games and create another avenue for people to rage.flame etc

Money is cool.

It would be nice if raw performance affected these kinds of gains and losses. At least respecting the individual plays.
