Shouldn't there be some sort of compensation for losses that aren't completely your fault? I know the whole "learn to carry the team yourself and if you guys lose it's only your fault mantra." But it's almost impossible to do that sometimes. Especially with games where all lanes feed. So what im asking is if lp loss can be lighten due to ingame performance being at a certain standard. It just sucks when you lose 24 lp a match.
I'm not saying it couldn't be done, but it will put people in situations where they do things that aren't 100% involved with winning.
For example, if you take k/d into account, someone who is 2/0/1 when the team is down 3 to 15 in kills will have more reason to AFK until ff at 20 instead of trying to farm, ward, dragon, etc.
As a jungler I can definitely sympathize with the all laners losing situation, but the problem I have with performance affecting that is that you'll find a losing game typically won't get turned around because the one person doing well, or the few people doing well will be less likely to try and turn the game around through risky and semi-risky plays out of trying to preserve KDA.
It basically devalues team play and pushes a focus on individual performance and ignoring your team for your own selfish needs in game.
We had a decent discussion going in a thread there for a hot second about this.
TL;DR example (keep in mind someone could do better % for the grades, but i think you will get the idea)
base gain/loss of 15 lp
D N/A = 15lp F N/A = 15lp
Loss:
D +50% 22.5 or 23LP F +66% 24.9 or 25LP

Grade.......Win.........Loss S..............+30 lp..... - 5 lp A..............+25 lp..... - 10 lp B..............+20 lp.... - 15 lp C..............+15 lp..... - 20 lp D..............+10 lp.... - 25 lp F...............+5 lp...... - 30 lp
If your average performance is above the average performance of those in your games then you will win more games and thus gain more LP through that. Any factor besides winning encourages selfish play and interferes with the game.
