‘Garbage change’: LoL players furious over Patch 14.7 ranked demotion adjustment

Rising through the ranks in League of Legends has always been challenging due to adapting to the meta, ranked changes, and factors outside players’ control like toxicity. It may get even worse as, from Patch 14.7, the base LP level after demotion has been lowered—and players aren’t impressed.  

Riot reverted their LP gain system with Feb. 22’s League Patch 14.4 to ensure consistency in climbing ranks and reducing the chances of players receiving negative LP gains. Coupled with the Season 14 ranked promotion changes, Riot believes that it has made demotions “a bit too forgiving,” which is why the devs are lowering the demotion LP from 75 to 50 according to SpiderAxe’s March 20 post on X (formerly Twitter).
