Ranked Improvements

WiegrafOfValor··2 votes·1,094 views

As we all experienced, sometimes ranked can be a little unfair. Today I will tackle the subject of League of Legends Ranked system.

The way it is right now, it evaluates the team as a whole, not the person specifically, yet we can't form a full team or guarantee, by ourselves, the victory despite our effort.

If we analise that for a moment, our friend Rito, rewards the burden player almost the same way it rewards the efficiently one in the winner side, on consequence it punishes the efficiently player by the same degree as the burden one.

OK OK OK Valor, we know all this, what is your point? One may ask..

Well my propose is a well elaborate system that rewards and punishes players by their actions inside the game, which adds up or subtract points from their league points.

With this system I hope to help players climb the ladder and get out the Elo Hell by improving their behavor. Example: Even if you lose, if you ward all game, didn't rage or quit, didn't die a lot, get your farms right and focus on your objectives, you can turn what would be a -20 point loss to a -8 Point loss. And for those who don't play as a Team and got carried by his team, a person who swear a lot, got afk, didn't ward or take objectives, even if he somehow win, he will get only 5 Points.

I'll set some examples and rules, nothing set on stone, just to serve as a guide to our discussion, ok?

. Rules

  • Never Reward Kill score, League it's already a disgusting cesspool of bloodlust rage quitters, never reward that. Death score is another go though.
  • We'll set the average win/loss of points per match to be 20 (+20 if your team win / -20 if your team loses) excluding the bonuses.
  • The maximum Bonus point per match will be 12 and the maximum Penalties is set on 15. ( sum: MAX: +12 or -15 )

. Bonus

  • Placing 05 Green Wards/Trinked Wards = +1 Point
  • Placing 10 Green Wards/Trinked Wards = +4 Points
  • Placing 01 Pink Ward = +1 Point
  • Placing 03 Pink Ward = +3 Points
  • Using Sweeping Lens or Scrying Orb = +2 Points
  • Scoring 10 Assists = +2 Points
  • Scoring 15 Assists = +4 Points
  • Taking 03 Dragons = +2 Points
  • Taking 05 Dragons = +4 Points
  • Slaying Baron = +2 Points
  • Scoring 100 CS = +2 Points
  • Finish the game with 0 Deaths = +10 Points ( Excluding AFK Players )

. Penalties

  • Leaving the game = -10 Points
  • AFK for more than 10 minutes = -5 Points
  • Being Muted by 3 allies = -7 Points
  • Being Muted by 3 enemies = -4 Points
  • Dying 10 times = -1 Point
  • Dying 15 times = -3 Points
  • Dying 20 times = -7 Points
  • "****ed" being censored 2 times = -5 Points
  • "****ed" being censored 5 times = -10 Points

What you guys think? Leave suggestions and Thoughts on the coments. With enough attention maybe we can get Rito to get a look on this.

  • Thanks :D

Terrible idea. LP Shouldn't be measured by how you act in game yet rather by your actual skill. If you are better than your opponents, you'll win more than you lose, and you will climb. If you aren't, you'll drop.

  • if some shit like this happened if I felt my team was gonna lose I'd just sell all my items and buy wards to try to even out my losses.

Please, tell me how do you secure a Team base game all by yourself, all mighty one. Even pros have their bad days on SoloQ, The only thing I'm offering is something to cut your losses when in a bad situation, taking the best out of a defeat, something to keep players focus and optimistic, rather than have to face a harsh punishment because of something out of their control.

Imagine you, start a Ranked Match, someone of your team quit the game before it even started, you'll have to face a match with high probability of losing for something out of your reach.

Look at you, you didn't even start to play ranked, you don't even know what is like, why would your opnion without research will count for something?

Since my smurf is banned for a week, I guess I'll post on my main for now. You don't. But giving clear cut conditions for gaining/losing LP is never a good idea, because it can be abused easily. Yes pros do have bad days, but they are still really high elo, meaning that even though they lose some games (some of which may not be their fault), they are still the elo they should be. When my team quits before the game starts, I really don't care. I afk sometimes, so I don't get mad when my team does. I accept it as part of the game while others place more evil on leaving a game than killing a man. Also, how can you say I don't play ranked because I'm on a smurf account when you're also on a smurf account.

Just because we know how to deal with it, doesn't mean we don't need improvements.

You have no idea how to deal with it.

WildTurtle and Pobelter make up 7 of the top 10 challenger spots. Each one of their accounts started in low elo and they got each one to the top of challenger. My own smurf account got placed in silver and I got it to plat within a week.

Good players will climb the ranked ladder easily. Sure even the best of the best could lose a bronze game once in a blue moon. However they will win the other 90% of the time. You are just trying to make excuses instead of just admitting you are not good enough to climb.

Imagine you, start a Ranked Match, someone of your team quit the game before it even started, you'll have to face a match with high >probability of losing for something out of your reach.

I have won more 4v5's than I have lost. Even still 4v5 games are a minute minority of games played. You are thinking too much about the short term. Ranked mode is all about climbing over the long term, not the short term. Only really good players like me can climb low elo in the short term.

Look at you, you didn't even start to play ranked, you don't even know what is like, why would your opnion without research will count for >something?

You are posting on a lvl 22 account and yet you dare have the nerve to type that comment? I bet your main account isn't even above silver. Why should your opinion be valued over a diamond players like myself? Do you see why this kind of argument is flawed? Everybody has a right to an opinion even if it is wrong like yourself.

I get what you're saying. We all know the current division system has serious drawbacks.

Seriously though, what were you even thinking trying to have a logical discussion on the 'boards.' Im sure you know better. Notice Rito employees rarely even use it and suggest using the LoL Reddit subgroup.... Suggesting Reddit as a superior alternative, now that is saying something!

Thank you brother! I appreciate.

"Herp a derp it looks like our team will probably lose, instead of trying to make a comeback I am going to sell all my items and spam wards."

"He took my cs and now I am not going to get da elos, im gonna rage at and then mute him so he loses points."

"Hey man stop split pushing and come help us team fight" "nah bro, I gotta get that perfect 0 death game for teh elos"

"Our jungler keeps missing smite on dragon and costing us teh elos, now we will all mute him to give him negative elos"

" Mute our x player so we can give him negative elos" " sure why not, i dont lose anything for doing it"

Scrying orb will be taken over scanner every time just so people can spam it whenever it comes off cooldown, even if it is a bad time to use it.

Just a few of the issues with your idea that I thought of within 2 minutes of reading it. I am sure trolls can get a lot more creative than that.

WiegrafOfValor1 votes

What the Hell dude? Do you even read the post before you post you reply?

Where do you get this idea? No one will choose defeat over the chance of winning..

Wards will only give you 4 points max, Scrying Orb / Sweeper bonus can only be proc once, and it's just 2 points, Please tell me how do you convince 2 more ppl on solo Q to agree on mute someone innocent because you want to troll or harras him? You probably will get muted yourself asking for that.

The 0 death bonus is something to keep the player challenging himself, I doubt someone will get that when he wishes.

And I said myself, this isn't set on stone, I'm here to offer a concept, if you think there's flaws on my example, why don't you suggest something better rather than been a Troll.

You disgust me, your attitude is what's wrong with this community.

Matthevv1 votes

Are you 12? Seriously, I pointed out all the flaws in your idea. Actual trolls will do all the things I listed. When you try to improve ranked you need to think of how players will abuse the system.

I personally don't care about your idea because it will never be implemented because of how easily it will get abused. So why should I offer suggestions to a completely broken system? If you can't handle criticism of your idea then don't post it. Also calling me a troll is for pointing out those flaws is super childish. I specifically put most of the flaws in quotes to say that is not how i think but how trolls think.

WiegrafOfValor1 votes

You didn't get the concept at all, didn't read rhe post and your "critics" were useless and pointless.

Matthevv1 votes

I did get the concept especially since you are not the first person to suggest it. People have been suggesting this since season 1. You are not a special little snowflake with a unique idea.

The reason this idea always gets shut down every time it is posted is because of how easily it will get abused. It is not a better system and you are just being childish at this point.
