Diamond 5 LP Gain Changes

RiotRiot Socrates·6/2/2015, 10:10:30 PM·39 votes·44,261 views

Hey all,

Right now, some players in Diamond 5 receive unusually low LP gains and losses. We're releasing a change that should smooth out gains for most of the affected players. That said, a small number of D5 players close to being demoted will continue to see low gains until they climb back to a high enough MMR to move through Diamond.

There won't be any down time as we release this to each region.

And everyone ignores the bronze 5 clamp... you guys dont understand how bad it is to be in bronze 5 trolls every game. I even go 55/0 as a broken champ (Riven) and i still cant carry......... these trolls every game. i win 3 lp and lose 30 lp. I thought bronze 5 being elo hell was a joke!

It's about damn time, I've only been emailing support about this since fucking 2 years ago. It's cute how they put "Season 5" in the title though to mislead us into thinking this is a recent problem. #TypicalRiot

So what does Riot do to make LP gains smoother? How is the ladder affected as a whole? Are other divisions going to experience slightly less LP gains in compensation?

d5-d1 has been horrible since your "master tier" lol I completely stopped playing ranked once I hit d3 on any account because the gains are like 5-15 and the losses are 20-45 Its literally disgusting. I can be 2.4kmmr (above the average required obviously) and STILL LOSE 45 LP DUDE 45 LP. what the fuck lol

wow, this is not only happening in diamond, i was platinum 5 for about 4 weeks back, coming from silver 4 after prov and was gold last season. I dropped down to gold 5 already cause i am loosing 22+ league points for a loss and when i am lucky i gain 10 league points... Been adressing this quite a while and now they only fixed diamond , gg rito

Lol right after I get promoted to diamond 4 this happens. Was getting 9-15 lp gains and 25-30 lp losses, glad this was fixed though.

+8 -32 sux x)

Zephrike6/3/2015, 4:42:17 PM1 votes

How would we know if we are close to demoting? I have a 60% win rate in diamond right now but the -32 makes me feel unnerving because of demoting :/

I realy cant understand this Riot. After I played like 30 games in Dia 5 and loose 31 points for one game and only win 7 point. Where is the way to get up ?
