The LP loss has to be fixed!

Alchemical Rage·Feb 23, 2020·1 votes·1,259 views

Diamond 4 I understand I may be matched with maybe lower elo players and the LP loss is a little bigger, but in the last 4 games I finished 1st, 2nd, 4th all these three gave me 65 LP in total and last game I finished 8th due to bad luck, hostile RNG and bad decisions and I lost a whopping 57LP. FIFTY SEVEN!

How am I supposed to be motivated and enjoy the game if I have to fear that every lose is a huge blow and will set me back a lot? I mean top 4 requires skill, but 1st/2nd places are mostly based on luck.

Let's say I finish 4th for 10 games in a row. Last time when I finished fourth I got 5LP. This means I have to play 12 games to get my LP back and a little extra. Do you consider this normal?

Most of us receive the same treatment in that Elo, I get -53 if I get 8th and win around 7 if I get 4th. So yea it's normal.

And yes it's climbable, but it's very boring to do so. You literally need to know 1 or 2 builds down to the CORE and stick with them.

Around D3+ if u start freelancing builds you haven't mastered, you're probably going to take a big L (without insane luck).

Personally, I found this style of winning extremely boring, so I stopped playing Light and tried out zerkers rangers and what not. Immediately tanked from d2 all the way down to p1 LOL.
