So earlier today I was in a super close ranked game. Unfortunately we lost and in the postgame screen I saw "Loss Prevented" +0 LP. I asked my team and the ones that responded confirmed that they too got the same message. I was wondering what was the reason behind this. I had 19 LP that should have been lost but instead i didn't lose any.
Loss prevented is a system enabled when Riot's servers are having a confirmed issue with connectivity, or if there are client/ISP issues that are widespread and affecting tons of players that Riot may not be at fault for, but the players are not as well.
The system basically makes it so games are still worth something for the winning team (I think it's half LP) but the losing team does not get faulted because, had the issues not been happening, the game may have turned out differently.
probably during the mini patch. Its typically used when they shut down servers for maintenance/patches/ just messed up servers on riots end
