My Problem With Ranked

The Lexer·Mar 7, 2015·1 votes·452 views

I know Riot wants to make us use "teamwork" so they reward us with wins only. This is why I believe this is bad:

I can have as much teamwork as possible (I probably don't), but you rely on 4 others to demonstrate teamwork as well. What good does teamwork do when nobody on the rest of your team is with you?

I recommend we get a new format. Wins and losses are still the major factor, but we get small bonuses in lp for kills and assists, and reduction for deaths.

This is just some numbers I put together - should probably be tested and edited first:

Win/Loss- Same as now Kill +1 Assist+1 Death -2

You can also say towers can affect it too because why lose 20 lp in a very close game?

Post thoughts below - feel free to edit numbers

Get a kill: GO AFK IN BASE.

win.

besides that, everybody will win this way, everybody gets more assist than deaths, and probably some kills, the chance of loosing points is... nule?

I think u missed the part where I said Wins and losses are still a major factor A kill is just +1 LP. So you get -17 instead of -18 or +19 instead of +18 So if u afk, you will still lose LP

Why on earth would anyone want that when K/D/A is nigh meaningless? If teamwork is so regrettably absent, why propose a system that would punish it? Why discourage constructive play with this? Why encourage the kind of kill-hunting behavior that i saw so commonly behavior when I was level 20 that did nothing but throw games for my enemy teams that were unfortunate to have fools who did that? The main issue in all of this is, sorry, that this sounds like nothing but another instance of someone being reactionary with complaints of their "elo hell" and not at all a legitimate way to improve the game.
