The Major Flaw in The LP System Driving Players Away From League of Legends



Loss Prevention/Mitigation was a good change to the LP system, but its inconsistent half baked and a large source of frustration in league of legends with how many trolls inters and AFKs are in every game.

  1. The first and the last time I played rank I played senna. We were invaded and I got first blooded by Lux. I was blamed for feeding lux (1 kill) So our midlaner (who was out cs'ing Lux and doing better in lane just with no kills) Decided we lost the game and came down bot to feed cait. that game ended in like 15 minutes. Never played ranked again.

  2. THIS LEGIT THISSSSS. Also it should take into account how well you played as well. It's not your fault if someone goes afk seriously. And it's BS that it takes 3 games to go up and 1 game to go down, it's BS. Literally the LP system tilts me more than the players.

  3. Playing FFA 14 its more addicting, and more thrilling then this shit game..

    Finally stop this season after hitting plat 4 and realizing that I don't want to throw in another 400 games to get back in diamond after a shit placement start of 36% wr finally sitting at 52% but so tired of this trash game and the players. S9 my d2 acct perma after flaming a riven with 25% in d2 mind you cause, that account was master-grandmaster since season 5… and this season its d2 with 25% wr… a ekko with 32% grandmaster 2 season in a row… clearly purchased acct that go undetected. as well as many acct elo boosted… Gold 4 should have less player then silver 1.. it doesn't because people will elo boosted to gold 4 for rank reward skins.. plat 4 has more players than gold 1. again to look better than gold player those hard stuck gold 3- gold 1 will elo boost to plat 4.. and it goes like that across the board cause riot doesn't stop it.

    Gl with the addiction Rav.

  4. Ranked is such a pain now…
    I used to be high plat, performing really well, I think I could have push to low diamond, but the level of players has went way above my head over the years.
    Now I'm getting smashed in mid gold, like sometimes really fucking hard. The thing is, I don't want to lose 20/30/40 games in a row, so I just play normal. I kinda would like to go back to something like low silver and climb my way back to see where I really stand, but I can't 🙁

  5. the problem i have right now is that me and the adc are hard winning botlane almost every single game, yet we loose the game bc one or more of the solo laners lose. its really annoying not being able to carry bc of midlanes mistake

  6. Last season I made it to plat 1 by playing off meta champs… Then things started going downhill. A win would give me 12 lp, while a loss would take 45 to 50 lp. I plunged down to plat 4. Out of 10 games, at least 7 had AFK or trolls/inters on my team. This shit's happening on all servers. I play on LAS, quite possibly the worst community of them all… So you guys can imagine the frustration it was.

    This season I barely made it to gold 2. Out of 10 games, 9 were with AFK or Inters, not willing to keep trying ranked.
    Just a few normals with no randoms and that's all from now on.

  7. I quit playing Rift years ago, but kept on playing ARAMs and the random new gamemodes that popped up, but I quit those after a while, too. I follow the pro scene and my favorite streamers still, of which Rav is absolutely one of them. Commenting and sharing this around after liking it to hopefully get this kind of message wider-spread, and MAYBE get Riot to finally notice. Slim odds, but hope springs eternal.

  8. Would be cool if there was a way to look at the individual player stats in a game and limit the amount of lp loss for those who didn't int the game away… And if you int on the winning team ofc you should not get rewarded with a high lp gain just because your team was able to carry your ass…

  9. This video is filled with pretty dumb arguments:
    If you deserve to be where you are at, as you mentioned multiple times throughout the video, well guess what? the LP system is working as intended.

    Shit happens on both sides, so you win against leavers as much as you lose because of them.
    I dont question the fact that having this happen, in either case, leaves a bad taste.
    BUT
    bare in mind that as much as having teammates or opponents inting/AFKing ruining the game experinece, there are no system known to man that "fixes" this.
    You can try to mitigate them, but they will always "ruin the game".
    No matter what the game IS

  10. Ye u have good points but the issue with the afk/leavers is not that simple to fix. Since if afk/leaver would make so u dont lose lp (or lose less) it would be heavely abused when ur team might be losing. Obvious fix would be bigger penalties for leavers but that wouldnt make them stop.

  11. hard stuck bronze cant climb sure sometimes i feed but still i shouldnt be gaining 15 lp on wins where i carried. i remember when i made it to bronze 2 first time i gained 13 lp per win and lost 20 per loss it was the worst and i havent stayed in bronze 2 for more than 3 games.

  12. LP doesn't mean shit. The hidden MMR is what's key. When your win/loss lp is about the same you are in your 50% win loss elo calculated by riot.

    Also you lost 47 LP after promos because you lost 3 in a row. If you had wins mixed in it would have been less of a loss

  13. My isp is dogwater and sometimes I dc for 2-3 mins (happenes about once a day, and sometimes its just in the middge of a game). In that time I do my absolute best to get back in the game. That much time is usually isn't enough for the enamy to gain a major lead, so I win a fair amout of those still. However according to riot, a 3 min leave and then trying my hardest to win is still considered punishable, so I guess no lp for me.

  14. Good video. Riot are morons, I've known this for year and hence stopped playing the game. You cannot apply the MMR system that was designed and planned around 1v1 to solo's playing team content. You can play like a pro and still go down because you have 4 mouth breathing monkeys in your team. Meh… They will never fix it, just how they will never fix the toxicity (and the reason behind it).

  15. Can you guys chill out in the comment section?

    Stop giving riot so much hate, they are clearly working on helping the community.

    I think what they should do next is delete all chat for all the normies (canon word btw) and give us more ezreal skins, exactly like we asked them to
