how about we start at 25 lp instead of zero or start at a lower number if you feel like that is to much that would give you a larger buffer to keep you from falling back into the lower division and having to deal with promos over and over again
remeasures21 votesif you lose 6 games in a row after completing promos you deserve to drop. The safety net is you cant drop divisions for 6 games after promos which is fair. If you deserve to climb then you should be getting 25+ LP gain anyway. I wish they would just go back to the old system where after your mmr climbed to a certain amount you climbed a division/tier and after you drop below a certain threshold you drop a division/tier. Which is why cs go is perfect. It takes a minimum of 5 days to complete placements so you get the division you deserve because after your two games it alters your mmr and recalculates your matchmaking parameters. Then after that there is no promo games you either climb or you don't. Even though I would hate to bring their crappy game into this but cod's ranked elo system is the same. You either climb or you drop. This is imo the best system for climbing in ranked. Its based on skill not whether or not you get lucky in promo matches. Its a little absurd that I should have to go through promos 9+ times because when I get into promos I get the kids who the moment you say anything to them they flame, intentionally feed and afk. If they get camped by the enemy jungle and still refuse to ward and not play so aggressive they afk etc and the kids who are stealing wifi who disconnect 3-4 times during the match or they have to go eat so they afk for 15 minutes etc....
JAGMAG1 votesive dropped before after just losing two game and yeah a system were you either climb or drop would be nice but that's allot different from our current system
