Sorry I dont know if this is really a bug, but I am posting it here cuz I think and feel it is. I have been playing ranked lately (all this week) I am Diamond V, was at 30 wins/27 loses at Diamond V (0 LP), I had a good win streak of 6 games on which everyone of it I won around +15 LP per game cuz at the end of those 6 win games I was sitting at 91 LP, then today I played again (according to op.gg) I was on an average MMR with my division (2175) , and had a win rate of 56%, then I proceed to play 4 games (lose 2 and won 2) first one I lose and got a -26LP and I was like hmmm what happen why -26LP, but was like ok... then play another one and won +19LP, the next one I won again and got +15LP (needed 19LP to reach series) so I kinda got trolled, but since it was not the first time on my life I was like ok.. ill win next one, then play and lost the game and got another -25LP and well this time I was like ok thats too much for having +9 more wins with a positive win ratio of 56-57% and an average MMR for my division, I think its too much to every game I win arond 15LP and lose around 25LP. How are we suppose to climb the ladder if u are winning 30LP on 2 games and losing 50LP if u lose 2 games, that leave you trying to win 3 to just recover what you have lost on 2 games. So I really think this is a bug or some kind of it, I even think I have read something on reddit about this happening.

You're not supposed to climb the ladder. You're supposed to fall down the ladder until it is once again representative of your actual skill, at which point gains and losses will equal out and you can begin to climb again. Not a bug.

Well, I just got the same problem. So I checked my mmr to see if I deserve or not to be in my actual tier ( Diamond IV ) and my mmr is " normal " for my tier so i don't know... kinda lost the motivation to play ranked games because if I go on a bad series, i will just fall to Diamond V 0 lp it feels really strange to lost 26/30 lp for +13 lp the last season, the more i was winning, the most lp i was earning, and this season it's different, even tho, a lot of player got the same problem in season 4 I don't think it's a bug. but they could change the value of lp by mmr , am I right ? :/
