Losing less LP on ranked games where you didn't contribute to your team losing

I think Riot needs to create a system where you lose less LP if you were not a reason that your team lost. The thing is I know it's a team effort. But there are just too many games where ONE person has literally costed me and my other teammates the game. I think this system would also help put people in the elo they SHOULD be in. I just don't think it's fair that a whole team has to suffer and lose because of one person. And sometimes when you try to get that person to work with the team (in a kind way) they start trolling and making the situation even worse.

One issue here is that you'd create LP/MMR inflation if it only applied to the losing team, but you could fix that by also doing the same to the winning team.

Define "contribute to your team [winning/losing]" in a way that:

  • doesn't hugely distort gameplay
  • doesn't punish unusual/non-meta strategies
  • isn't "gameable"/abusable
  • doesn't overly reward certain champions or playstyles

It's okay, I'll wait.

Since RIOT keeps deleting my post on here when they are completely relevant and placed correctly and don't violate any rules. FUCK RIOT! League is a fun game to play from time to time BUT they have the shittiest, and obviously most ignorant, adolescent-minded Support/Admins. They won't answer shit for you and delete everything they can to make sure people don't read it. They removed my post in Videos about asking how to use FRAPS and LoLReplay to record and upload to YouTube. Wasting your time on here my friend. Pointless fucks. If you go on a winning streak and lose a game you'll lose a great deal of the point in ranked or if you keep losing, etc. They try to fuck you either way. So, don't depend on anyone in your game. Play your best champ for every role. Play Ahri Jungle if you want, fuck everyone else. Sorry for the rant but it is the honest truth! Since I'm probably going to be banned from boards now, good luck and have fun as well as remember to take breaks from playing so much so you don't get to frustrated. Peace.

That's not how a pseudo-elo system works.

The amount of LP you are going to get was predetermined at match making.

Edit: get or lose.

My best advice is after you get a few kills in your lane, ROAM! As long as your lane is pushed up and you can get that first tower, take out next minion wave or two depending on if there is any 'mia' (missing in action) players, if everyone is in their lanes go gank mid first and help them push some.

Did you lose the game? If so, you're probably part of the reason why you lost.
