I'm being punished for gaining LP and being high rank.

I have been climbing nonstop since TFT came out. I'm currently Gold 1 with 75 LP.

Last game I LOST 4 LP FOR GETTING 4th PLACE The game before that I gained 8 LP for 3rd place.

Is this a joke?

I get 15 LP for GETTING 1st PLACE IN GAMES WTF

Why is riot ranking me with silver 4s and bronzes and giving me 0 LP when I am queuing solo queue ranked??????????

If you don't have golds to pair me with, pair me with plats, I haven't seen a single plat in any of my games and I ask around. Don't make my climb impossible, make a better system.

No one should have to be getting 15+ "wins" and 0 losses to go up one division. It's wasting my time.

Plus on the games that the RNG screws me over, I lose MAJOR LP, like 40 LP for one loss.

Edit: Well I played 2 games with Plats today, I took 3rd and that promoted me, then my first game in plat I took first and it gave me 58 LP for the first place. Seems like the MMR of my opponents varies game to game. But at least it's working enough to climb. I'm happy.

Are you playing with your friends which screw up your MMR?

Maybe there's nobody in plat online at the moment. TFT is popular with the lower ELO ranks but I don't think it's that popular for quick queue times.

What you ask for doesn't make sense. You rather play with plat than silver to gain more lp. But the plat player will have the same problem playing with you.

Wow I didn't know it was even possible to lose LP at 4th place

I feel the same... I really don't understand this logic of low LP gains. It is frustrating and stupid. One game i stayed 7th place on gold 4 and i lost 42 LP and the next game.i got first place and I won 37LP. There is no logic on this... It is like if you would watch a football match and everytime someone would score you would get a random point value for that score... It is just silly. Also because if you lose a match with 0 LP you are demoted... So what's the logic of forcing people to get stuck in a league? To get frustrated, to get demoted(?) and stop playing the game at some point as a result of that frustration and unfair/unbalanced LP gains... I stopped playing league for awhile because of all the LP coz when you reach gold you need struggle to maintain the LP. I started to enjoy TFT during beta as I thought they had fixed this LP bulls* when I saw 85points for a 1st place victory but now... I see TFT trying to pull me down by giving less points the more I climb... For what reason exactly? It is not like if we only have one rank, there are so many... And if you easily get demoted and lose points the rewards should always feel fair not variable amount of points ...

It is a pyramid. The higher you climb the smaller the space. It is working exactly as it should. Also, as more people join TFT ranked LP gains will continue to get worse and worse. It is already getting to where 5th place finish loses you more than 3rd place wins you at gold 1 where as 2 weeks ago you'd get triple for 4th place win as a 5th place loss, purely because more ppl are gold 1.

My guess based on my own experience is that there is a hidden mmr like normal ranked. So you are seeing lower gains because your mmr us lower than your current rank. I got to play very quickly but at plat I am losing more games and now my lp gains are around 45 for a win when they were around 80 in gold.
