Is iot normal to only get 12 LP for a ranked win now? I thought they said they wanted the game to be less grindy. If they lowered the LP gains then the game is MORE grindy. Is Riot lying to us? What is going on? If this is the case I'm going to quit this game right now. That would actually make it a lot harder to move up in ranked. Is the new system of gaining 12 LP and losing like 20 what you are going to do? Because that isnt going to work you know.
Eleshakai2 votesEssentially if you gain little but lose a lot, that means the system things that you're ranked way too high for your skill level, so you're playing against(And with) lower skilled players. If you either win enough to prove the system wrong or lose enough that you reach where it thinks you belong, the gains/losses will equalize.
sphinxthelion71 voteshave you been gaining/winning normal amounts?
sphinxthelion71 votesI was silver 5 with a silver 4 MMr before the patch. Why would it now think Im "less skilled"?
Eleshakai1 votesI don't know. But that's how the system calculates MMR/ELO gains.
Perhaps before you were ACTUALLY silver 5 with a bronze 1 MMR, and now you're silver 4 with a bronze 1 MMR? shrugs
As to my personal experience, I haven't played enough ranked since the change to be able to accurately evaluate.
sphinxthelion71 votesAccording to op.gg my MMr is silver 3. I should be flying up through the ranks right now, and I'm not.
Eleshakai1 votesUnless maybe, just maybe, third party sites need to be taken with a grain of salt because they don't have access to Riot's internal metrics and thus cannot evaluate MMR accurately.
TisBis1 votesI thought you couldnt gain/lose during preseason wtf
sphinxthelion71 votesThats during placements.
