Low Elo is Unfair

I came back and got placed in Bronze 1 Since then it has taken 132 GAMES at a **maintained **61-65% wr to climb to Gold 2 100 LP My Hecarim winrate has been maintained at between 70-75% and has over 100 games My LP gain has consistently remained at 19-24 for wins and 13-19 for losses. I skipped only one division, silver 3. THIS IS UNFAIR

It is unfair that IF I am in your game there is a 61=65% chance that YOU WILL LOSE It is unfair that IF I am in your game and get Hecarim, there is a 70-75% chance that YOU WILL LOSE It is unfair that I am consistently playing in games where I'm not being challenged I am actually a MASSIVE tilter. If not for Tilting my winrates would be EVEN higher.

The system, by now, should have recognised that I'm not where I'm meant to be and made an effort to get me to a more challenging Elo as fast as possible. This would create more balanced games. This should be achieved by A - increasing my LP gains to 25-30 and reducing losses to 10 or less, also, when the system can't justify a division skip it should at least enforce a Promotion series skip. B, placing me in games well above my tier so that, if I continue winning it can justify even greater LP gains. Instead my LP gains have remained relatively consistent, the pace of my climbing has remained linear, and harder games have been created not by matching me with better players, but instead forcing me to carry players with Sub 50% winrates or players who are on a MASSIVE tilt and loss streak.

This is ridiculous. I can't say for sure, and I feel like this might be rose lenses talking, but I think that if I had this kind of winrate in season 4 or 5 the system would've advanced me up to Plat by now. It should be an exponential increase until I meet players that can force my winrate to more normal rates. Not this grindy, linear bullshit.

Your starting MMR Balance Was in Bronze. You have 32 Wins over losses. So your MMR balance now is Gold 2 going off who your placed with. What's unfair about That?

The system expectation last time I saw a number was about 150 to 300 games before its accurately placed an account.

Your winning. Your climbing. When that stops you stop. Its not very complicated is it?

Riot changed the MMR values for Divisions and Tiers this season don't gauge them off last year. Just because Iron exists does not make it actually change ranges for ladder breakdowns.
