Teamfight Tactics' ranked update

In general, we’re happy with how ranked TFT is working, but a couple inconsistencies have made it a little more forgiving than we intended, so we're making a few changes

Wait what?! Forgiving?! WTF are you talking about?!

You're telling me that spending hours grinding ranked and finally gaining 75 LP after playing 5 games only to lose it all in just ONE loss, where I had a bad game and placed 8th, is intended?

You're telling me that ruining and nullifying the whole progression of a day worth of grinding, by losing once or twice at 8th/7th place, is how you want the ranked system to work, hein?!

Are these guys for real?!

Did these guys even listen or even consider paying attention to the whole freaking community feedback?! Literally 100% of the community thinks the ranked system sucks in TFT and Riot is like:

HOLY MACARONI, man! GODDAMN!

I don't see the problem.

When you win 1st place you gain a huge amount of LP, which is rewarding because you outlasted 7 other players--its like winning 7 games of 1 on 1.

Likewise when you end up in 8th (and effectively lost to 7 other players) then you should lose the equivalent amount of LP.

Your reaction seems more emotional than logical. That's fine, not judging, but just saying the reward/punishment scales just fine, in my opinion.

Wait what? Losing at 0lp while at challenger immediately demotes you to diamond 1?

That seems extremely harsh... what were they thinking? Being demoted three full ranks for one loss that is insane

I think the LP gain might be better on tft then on the normal rank... If your dead last your luck that match is the worst... lp loss hardcore makes since... your last dude. I've gotten 8th and 7th quite a few times..

if you finish 5th you still beat 3 other people so you lose less lp.. I like that idea.

also like how you dont have to win 2 out of 3 matches to move up a rank in TFT... Thats annoying in the normal rank.. Hate losing 1 match with near 0lp, then having to play 4-30 matches to get promoted again perhaps you wont even get promoted again: thats the normal rank system...

PS Waiting for the Normal Rank to reset again... Last normal rank reset wasn't a real reset..

I dont understand why you would play a ranked game mode based off of complete RNG :\

It was forgiving in another sense. You could lose at 0 lp without demoting. That resulted in people climbing at negative WR, their rank went up while mmr went down, which resulted in huge lp loss/low lp gains for them. At least thats what I think happened. It is also highly possible Riot just fucked up again

There are no promotions. You can gain a rank with just 1-2 high finishes. It shouldn’t be taking you a whole day to move up.
