Ranked LP needs tweaking

There is a monster LP gain difference between 1st and 4th, but honestly, I don't think it represents a skill difference. I believe that if you play well you can average in the top 4. Whether you get first place that round or not feels more like just getting lucky.

What if instead, it was just a flat LP whether you win (top 4) or lose (bottom 4). If you averaged in the top 4 you would continue to climb, if you didn't you wouldn't.

If the game wasn't so RNG based I think the current system would work, but when I make some really good decisions, and gambles and come out at 4 because I got like 2 item drops the whole game, vs getting 1st with a weak comp because I had 7-8 full items and then get rewarded more because I happened to get luckier one round feels bad. By having the slush option of anywhere in the top 4 as same LP I feel like the slushiness of the LP grouping fits the RNG better.
