5 wins is the cap.

If you abandon a game while having 5 lp matches it will go up to 25

[Deepbluediver]

5 LPQ wins is the most you can have at any one time, however if you abandon or while in the LPQ it might go back up to 5, so you have to win more than 5 games total before you get out.

That system is quite broken i have to say, quite unbelievable may i add.

Let's hope it'll go swimingly for me and my 2 games

thanks for help!

5 is the maximum low prio and if you leave one more match with 5 low prios I think dota 2 will ban you for matchmaking for 1 day

Last time i was in low prio i had to win 2 games of single draft and it took me 8 games.

Was that because it was hard to win or because people kept abandoning?

All the Low Priority regulars on the forums should be glad it's capped at 5 wins. Personally, I would advocate for like a 50 or 100 win cap that increases exponentially every time you trigger a LP penalty while in LP.

They should also be thankful that Dota 2 hasn't instituted CSGO's permanent gameban policy for toxic griefers.

same here and it was that the enemy abandon the game because i owned them too hard.

I have 2 thoughts- first, I support the idea that the max LPQ matches you can get from regular games is 5 but I feel like if you abandon while in the LPQ it should be able to go above that. Of course if you make it unlimited then I guarantee some people will intentionally troll and see how high they can push their "punishment" on a throwaway account.

Second, I feel like if you stick out the entire match and win then you should get to count it as a win, even if the entire enemy team abandons. I don't know if there would be some way for people to exploit this, but it's one of the few things about the LPQ system I don't get.



The real problem is that if you are in the LPQ and have 5 games yet to win, then there's no way your punishment can get worse, so there's no reason NOT to abandon if you are losing.
Perhaps we should combine an aspect of the old system with this new one, and say that if you abandon a match while in the LPQ you can't queue again for 24 hours, which would reduce the odds of people with 5 wins to go becoming serial abandoners.

I completely agree with harsher punishments, like exponential growth of LP games. Only, and only if the reports are reviewed by a human.

Abandons don't need to be reviewed.

The problem with an unlimited punishment is that some trolls will take it as a badge of honor and try to see how high they can get that number. That's why I think you need a cap and some other combination of punishments.
