The League of LP

I want to start out by saying that I absolutely love League of Legends. It is a fun competitive game with a wide variety of champions and players that create a unique experience with every new game. Riot is a fantastic company that keeps it's fan base and customers always coming back for more.

I myself am an ADC main with a well understanding of every other lane in case I am the unfortunate last pick in a ranked match, considering I normally only do team builder if I am doing Normals. I was earlier in the past month in my promos for silver I, I am currently in Silver III trying my absolute best to get in to gold before the end of the season on the 11th, I really would like to get that Victorious Sivir skin. I believe that this is definitely possible, I am quite confident in myself that I can play well enough to put a positive impact on the games that I play. Not to say I don't have bad games once in awhile, everyone does.

It is also that exact reason why I get so frustrated sometimes while playing these ranked games. I go through playing and do very well most of the time while one of the main reasons I think I'm still in silver is because it really only takes one person on the team to make a direct impact on the entire course of the game. Sure, everyone makes bad plays every now and then, but when I am playing a game where I am top and my bot lane gives the enemy Draven 10 kills in the first 15 minutes of the game? Well now that is quite irritating. It really only takes one person to destroy an entire game for the team.

It really does kind of stink when most of my team feeds and I have to try and babysit, and see my LP and rank be punished for those few teammates that are making bad plays. just last week I was at 21 LP, lost a game (because of the previous stated issues), went to 0 LP. Then lost ANOTHER game (because of you guessed it), and went back to 75 LP in silver IV. I had to play 4 more games just to get back into silver III, which seemed like a complete waste of time.

I guess I should eventually get to my point in this whole rant.

Trying to think of what would be fair, I thought of this: League has a system that will will rank how well each player did at the end of the game. I believe that the person on the losing team that received the highest rank shouldn't be penalized for the game loss, and instead receives no LP loss. However, if these games are lost in promos, it will still be considered a loss for the placement. This way, players who are doing well yet are still on the losing team don't feel they are in an endless loop of bad players versus bad games.

Now maybe I am being a baby about this entire situation and I should just suck it up, but I digress. I want to hear what you all think of this. Cheers and best of luck in your games summoners.

This is a brilliant idea. I myself have been bronze locked for a while for the same reasons. Another tie I'd like to address to LP is why do we loose 20-25 LP for each loss but for every win only gain 13-16? It makes it so hard to get anywhere regardless of your play. To continue how and why did I get placed Bronze 5 for winning 8/10 games... that makes no sense to me.

Regardless this is a good idea because the ranked system needs work. It could be done the same way that the letter rankings are done. S and win = 25 LP ... D and win = 13 and so on. Anyway great idea.
