This is extremely painful. I get as low as 19 points for a win (about a day ago), and -22 for placing fifth. How are you supposed to climb under this system?
Yeah? You have 4 places you can be in to win the game. Unless you're saying you get 19 LP for placing in first and -22 for fifth place. Then thats totally a problem.
That's what happens when rank is defined by both Objective Player Skill and Player Percentile, because it really can't be both ways on low population servers. On NA, which is not even a low population server, Challenger was once not full (idk if it is full by now) because there aren't 300 people who are of the right amount of elo to fill it.
That's where it becomes a question. If Challenger is supposed to be the best 300 people in the server, then if the best 300 people on a low population server are Gold level in Objective Player Skill, they should still be Challenger. If Challenger is about achieving a certain level of Objective Player Skill, then if there are only 30 Challengers instead of 300, that should be what it is, and if there are 3000, that should also be what it is.
It's part of the system, it gets less and less the higher you become. They only want the "best of the best" to reach the top afterall. So if you are trying for Master/Grandmaster/Challenger, you kind of have to live with it.
