99 lp has to be the most demoralizing thing in ranked

having to play a whole game just for 1 lp seems so goddamn depressing honestly.

i just carried the living shit out of my bot and i get handed 99 lp.

i would honestly rather not have to play an extra game .

diamond lp gains are so boring.

gain 18-19 lose 15-16.

cycle is never ending

Not really,

Count your progress by how many wins left til series.

That way, 85LP and 99LP are the same!

If 99LP was removed, 98 would become the new 99, and 98 would be demorallizing and other climbing excuses.

I find it helps to remember that in the long run the only thing that actually matters is your mmr, and LP/rank is basically just a cosmetic overlay (at least until master). That extra win at 99 LP is just one more nudge towards your mmr which will make you climb ever so slightly faster and fall ever so slightly slower, and bringing you closer to playing with reliably competent teammates and away from the monkeys.

It'd be better, if you could give up the free series win(s?), to go directly into series, if you land between 95-99 LP.
