Harsh Point System?

Dreadlocks··2 votes·557 views

Can someone explain to me why I lose 22 points in ranked but only gain 14? This kind of shit is getting annoying. I was S1 last season placed S2 this season, I have been demoted and promoted and now redemoted.. Its getting rough to rank up if i lose points going 3-2.

Ohhh, I remember this. I had a win ratio of 53~55%, but I'd gain 15 rank, then LOSE 25! :D Clawing my way up to 1200 was friggen miserable.

What makes you think I was able to make it stop? I didn't even bother to do more than 2~3 placement matches last season because of how depressing it all was.

You're MMR is bad. It's that simple.

But why.. I started this game in Silver 5 last summer and I ranked up all last season. Now this?

I believe the ratios change depending on how many games you win or lose (more you play the less LP you win or lose once you're in the 'right' elo - as determined by your wins/losses)

That is, whenever I first start playing ranked I'll get 30LP for winning and lose 15LP for losing (or something similar)... but if I'm going 1 for 1 all the time I think league decides I'm at the elo that I'm meant to be at I'm at so I'll gain and lose the same amount (say 15LP) when I win or lose.

Same goes for if I'm losing more often than winning - league decides I'm at an elo that's too high so I'll lose more points when I lose and get more points when I win (ie -30LP for losing and +15 for winning)

That is how it seems to work at least - as far as I've been able to determine.
