RP penalty for zero damage
I dont know whether matchmaking is broken this season, but most games I have 1 or both teammates doing ZERO damage in match. Today alone I have played 6 games In a row where this has occurred. I'...
I'll assume your response is facetious given its conclusion.
"Really stuff happens and even the good players end up in a bad spot or get surprised and the penalty is they die and really that is enough."
- the error in this statement is that the penalty for bad plays is weighed equally across the whole team. This allows players to take risks in ranked that they shouldn't take because the cost of doing so is spread across their team. For pre-made teams, that actually makes sense. But for solo queue teams you end up socializing the point system, reducing the risk of bad plays for players that don't prioritize team play. This makes it very difficult statistically for a solo queue player to properly compete in ranked.
But sure. I'll take the 800 point hit if it helps the overall community fix the game. Given how frequently this happens to me I'm willing to bet I'd end up further ahead anyhow.
yes I was partially making some fun there. But really in all honesty the suggestion you made is not in anyway fair.
If this is one of the woes of the solo Q'er things then I would suggest the best way to mitigate that and how matchmaking pairs you up with Randoms on your team, you should go out and find some standard squad-mates to play with.
