This patch is a godsend

I've been complaining in the several past patches about many issues, but credit where credit is due, this patch is a godsend. Thanks Riot.

Now I can finally get more than 40 LP for a first place win and not lose over 80 for 8th.

My profile has the plat crest for TFT instead of the Bronze one for SoloQ.

My winrate went up from 7.4% from the old patch to almost 30% this patch because nobles are actually high risk high reward instead of high risk low reward. You get a lot of 8th place when trying for nobles, but you also get a lot of 1st, and I think that's a lot fairer than in the past when you can econ until level 8 to snatch Kayle early while being at 30 HP or lower, getting 8th if you lose one more duel and sometimes you get 4th or 3rd place if you successfully find Kayle.

Games are no longer so stressful. In the previous patch, a small mistake will set you back to 7th or 8th place because games were so close that anything short of perfection in each round will set you back ~20 HP while everyone else only loses ~5 or 6 HP even in the later rounds. This patch allows both high risk/high reward tactics (nobles) and low risk/low reward tactics (brawlers) to be viable.
