TFT Suggestion - Ranked LP Loss

Hello,

A couple of suggestions related to ranked LP Loss:

  1. A player shouldn't lose LP for losing in a match where everyone is ranked higher than they are. This seems expected and doesn't mean that they are a lower rank.

  2. The LP calculation should take into account how "Close" the game is. If multiple people are eliminated the same round they should get the same rank. (They should tie for the highest rank)

I played a game where I was the lowest ranked, and it was a very close game. Most people had 3-8 HP near the end when I was eliminated. I finished 6th however 3 people were eliminated in the same round as me. I lost LP afterward. I could have very easily been 4th since the 4th place person was also eliminated in the same round as me. (Not sure how the game decides the place when multiple people are eliminated in the same round.)

I think that all of us that were eliminated in the same round should have tied for 4th place and that the LP calculation should have been based on that. It was a very close game which implies that we all performed similarly.

Also, since I was the lowest ranked and placed above two people that were one or two tiers above me it seems odd that I would lose LP since it seems that I performed better than my current raking would imply.

Thanks.

Unless they changed it, you are placed as you are eliminated (so if two people have been eliminated and you are out you come in 6th), doesn't matter if someone is eliminated immediately afterward or not.

Last season people would run into the corner furthest away from the enemy little legend if they were about to be eliminated, and one or more other people are also on the ropes of being knocked out of the game because the damage animation takes time to catch up to you based on where you are (so they in essence bought themselves maybe an extra second but it is still a dumb thing to have in the game I guess).

As for shared ranks for people being eliminated in the same round, I think that goes against their climb philosophy of half climbing, and half falling.

The game does factor in the mmr of your opponents in gains/losses. Think of each game as 7 individual matches.

Going 4-3 (4th place) win get you more LP against higher ranked players than going 4-3 against lower ranks.

They did change it so that you can't lose LP if you get 4th or better and you can't gain for 5th or worse. This chance is because high level players who couldn't get into balanced matches were losing LP for 4th and I think I heard of a couple cases of losing it for 3rd.
