I feel the LP gains and losses need to be reviewed for next season. In Plat i just won a game and got 37 LP. A few games ago i had a real unlucky/bad game and finished 8th and lost 57 LP. Wins are hard to come by especially if item drops/rolls are not in your favour. This 20LP deficit seems a bit excessive even more so with how heavily RNG impacts the game.
Except, it's not a 20 LP deficit.
It's a 1st/2nd/3rd/4th/5th/6th/7th/8th weighted system, where the average of all placements is 0 LP.
In other words, placing first and then placing 4th isn't detrimental. But..... placing 8th is.
Surely if you belong in a higher elo, you can place in the top 4.....
And surely, if you're unfortunate, you should still place 6th or 5th.
It's meant to have a harsh gain and loss as you can climb up quickly having not promotional series and fall very fast having not demotion protection.

I'm in my other account (plat 1) and had 81 LP. I was about to finish 4th-5th but I wrongly replaced a minion on my board dum. I ended up dying and placing 8th (game was so tight, all are within 16-30 HPs).
And guess what, back to 0 LP lmao. I mean can it be a function of at least your quality/performance in that particular game, e.g.
I feel like its an insult to players who are relatively good but still at the unfavorable side of RNG...
I don't know. I hope Riot would seriously think about this.
