lp gain and loss

i end up getting about 10-16 lp for each ranked game i win. i've asked other people how much they gain and they tell be about 25-30 lp for each win. think kinda makes me mad since each loss i end up losing 30 lp and it takes me forever to gain it back. is there something wrong with the ranked sytem or what?

No, that means your MMR is lower than the division you're in. The system is making it harder for you to stay where it thinks you don't belong.

If you can win enough to stay in there, your MMR will eventually match the division and your LP gains will be good, or you can even get it higher and get more LP than you lose and you get promoted easier.

Yeah the ranked lp system is pretty flawed. There's a "hidden" skill value called MMR (Match Making Rating) that determines who you get matched with and how much LP you gain/lose. If your MMR is lower than it should be for your division, you gain LESS for a win and lose MORE for a loss until you win enough to raise your MMR. It's very unclear and super frustrating imo.

Way to fix it is to keep winning. Eventually you'll climb out of the hole you're in and will start seeing normal gains. Sometimes takes a few hundred games though.
