What if ranking had an effect on LP gain?

How do you think this would play out?

If you lost but got a high rank, you would lose less LP. So your teammates would have less influence on your fate in ranked?

Just throwing this out there.

This was removed for a reason, people would be less team focused and people would get more toxic about kill steals.

Does the system actually run off of kills? I thought it went by something like damage dealt, etc.

I'm not sure, but it is an adapted version of the ELO System which was used to determine chess rating. I think it was adapted to account for score in the game, but that would cause people to not work with their team and just go for kills. I believe it bases on wins now, which is the best indicator of skill. I like the system the way it is, for rank, the tribunal needs work though.
