Worse Than "ELO Hell"

xamiakas · May 2014

recently i`ve encountered a new feature from Riot.. a capped reward system. as in, you can run a round as dmger say 1/3/9 and win.. or you can 18/4/9 and win.. whatever is your score YOU WILL NEVER get more than 10 points. so far i`ve opened 2 tickets like a month ga inbetween asking riot WTH. first time i was told that it`s a temp measure and a win streak should get rid of it. after 20+ win streak (and getting 7-10 for each win and a hefty 18-25 for a loss) and noticing it wouldn`t go away i wrote the 2nd ticket.. where i was told that win streaks CAN be the reason why i`m being capped in the first place. so i lost 2 rounds in a row. win again - same cap.

the way i understand it.. is that riot is trying to keep part of players down at the bronze so that the older low skill players would be able to maintain their silvers or gold. i really have NO idea how else to explain this capping (which, according to riot support doesn`t exist at all)

in the very last response from riot, the person wrote that reward capping doesn`t exist.. and a 10 point reward for a max kills, lowest deaths, top cs in the whole round and a score of 18/4/9 is the normal reward. and who cares that my other accounts get 25-30 for the same performance.

anybody else have/had this problem? just curious, since riot is denying it all. and hell, i DO have all the lolreplay files and emails from them to prove otherwise

ur wrong, such cap doent exist, the rewards of lp is not afected by your performance, its only afected by your elo and your league.

I might say this is nothing. In platinum you can get sometimes even 0 LP. And you still can lose 20+. And yes generally the LP you get is affected by your win streaks. Take a brake for a few days and it should be back to normal and you should take more LP from a victory.
