I vote this is a new banned topic.

No one's really gotten to the bottom of it yet and there probably is a good reason, so I don't see why it should be banned just yet. It's not confined to people near the top of their division.

Does it matter much? No. But it isn't derailing the thread for pages and pages like "what is a tank."


This happens because your mmr is a lot lower than your current league.It doesn't matter at all where in a league you are.The only reason you get lower when you are closer to a promotion is that the expected mmr gets higher.

Captain obvious out.

No, this is wrong. When you approach a promotion from a division 1 to another league for the first time, the system ARTIFICIALLY CAPS YOUR LP GAINS regardless of your MMR. The trick is to lose one game then win the very next after getting really close. I was at 70~ and gained 12 6 4 3 3 to put me at 98 then lost one for -21 to put me down to 77 then won one and it instantly put me into a promo series. Before that I was gaining +30~ a win and now that I'm in plat 5 I'm getting about +24 a win.

It's a super stupid artificial cap that only happens at the 1st division of your league promo approach.


Yeah, had the same thing in gold 1. Freaked out when I won 1-2 points per game, then lost 16, but after that loss, I got straight into promotion. Riot put that cap in to make sure people don't get into a higher league because of a fluke streak, then just lose games and stay close to 0 LP in the lowest division. The system is strange, but just keep playing (and winning ) and you'll get your promotion eventually.


Riot's MMR calculation probably has 'momentum' style variables in it that don't play nice with big win streaks(especially coming up on promotion from a league), and once you lose it 'sets' your MMR at a nice place that gets you your big LP jump to promo series. WC3 Ladder system comes to mind. I'm almost positive it isn't just a background Elo system(even their old system had MMR behind the Elo).

I'm almost positive it IS just a background Elo system. The old system was in fact just Elo, and Riot has in the past described it as a modified version of the Elo system (see http://na.leagueoflegends.com/learn/gameplay/matchmaking for their description; it's a bit old but still relevant).

I can see it working wonders during clean up, but in a big fight I'd think that life steal is moot when you're dead the second they get on you (and with vayne's short range, it's even worse). Seems to me that you'd want to deal as much damage as possible while your cooldowns aren't yet all down, and IE would be best for that.

The issue is IE is also grossly expensive for a Vayne (when she could instead get a BT+Zeal, or BotRK+Zeal), if she also picks up a Vamp. It's 2400g vs 3800g, basically, and 1400 gold can go into a Zeal+half of a dagger, which is way more damage (and sustain) than IE (you're going to be picking up a vamp as Vayne basically every time).

IE means you're investing in the late game: IE first doesn't pay off until you've finished IE/PD/LW, where you have the highest 3-item DPS. Before that? BT is more effective; finishing BT first allows Vayne to start investing with AS, which she scales on quite well.

Plus, BT also helps with AD ratios (Vayne Q, and her E).

Also, posted the Fiora spreadsheet of AD vs ArPen runes+W vs Q skill order here. Also includes a gigantic AD vs ArPen rune comparison (vanilla, with brut, with LW, and with both; if you want to admire the pretty colors, you're prob gonna need to download it).

^ Having AD quints + Apen marks would be far more useful than full Apen


Rengar towerpushing is seriously unmatched.

This game we had a dragon fight and I was toplane so I decided to push. Pushed up to their inhibitor before people came. Every time I got up to turret I just QQit and then a third Q when the tower's at low hp. Takes like 7 seconds even really early in the game(like 2-3 seconds later on). His waveclear isn't the greatest I guess as I don't max W early but just spamming QQ on minions as well makes you kill them extremely quickly. Killed 6 turrets and 2 inhibitors this game and I'm pretty sure we'd have lost otherwise.

Rengar also doesn't lose 1v1, for example he totally shits on Zed. He also has decent mobility if needed, while not global, with his ult(and youmuu's ghostblade grr)

A modified Elo system isn't just an Elo system though. For example, they could have added something that makes win/loss streaks be handled differently, while still using the basics of an Elo system.

I was thinking it was some new trollface champion but then realized it's nunu and yeah it's atrocious.

I think Yi and Sion down towers faster. Rengar's Q is 150% attack speed but is only up for 4 seconds and then it's 50% every 6 seconds after that. Yi can have his ult up the entire time he's attacking the tower for more attack speed overall and he gets E bonus damage. Sion gets +50% attack speed and a lot of damage on E too. If he's killing a tower in 6 seconds then his Q only gives him like 4 extra attacks. I don't even know if Q even applies bonus damage as most autoattack enhancers do not hit towers for bonus damage.

Also Rengar's ult is not the best dueling ability since it doesn't make him tankier or do any damage directly. You can get away and use ult for your next empowered ability but if you're running from a duel you've probably lost it and an Empowered Q is not as strong as say Irelia's ult.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

Having AD quints+ArPen marks is better the first 5 levels (a total of ~7 more damage with 3 AAs and 2 Qs,at level 2), assuming nothing but a Dorans.

After that, full ArPen outscales it pretty heavily, and additional AD items on top of it (and ignite CD passive) skew it further.
