Apex Tier LP Inflation Problem?
As we all know, the apex tier LP/MMR got reset a month or two ago due to serious LP inflation. I think we can all agree that was a good idea.
But I don’t see anyone talking about the LP inflation that is happening post-reset. The GM cutoff has rose from 400 LP to 600+ LP in 1 month, at a pretty linear rate. That means, at this rate (~200/month), you will need well over 1600 LP to be GM at the end of the season.
Compare this to last season, where about 550 LP was required to be GM at the end of the year.
Granted, I know master+ is +/- 30 instead of +/- 20 like last season, however that means 1600 LP this season is still over 1000 LP in last season’s terms; aka, still almost double the requirement.
What could be causing this? Is this all aegis of valor driven?
