ok so can someone please explain why MMR in masters/challenger is RNG based instead of skill?

I love how back when my account had fair gains with a 59% win rate I was getting like +20 -15 and I easily reached the #7 spot in challenger and hovered around 200-250 lp for awhile twitch.tv/awildapsona (screenshot in banner)

but can you guess how I lost my challenger? playing bad? losing streaks? NOPE I lost my challenger by going 1-1 until riot games decided it fucking hates me and raped all of my LP

now that I have 52-53% win rate some asshole at riot games has decided that I should gain +13 -26 while in masters are you fucking KIDDING ME!?!?!? if I had a 45% or even a 49% win rate those gains would be justifiable

PLEASE explain to me how I win more than half of the time (thus proving I belong in this elo) but at riot games a fucking 53% win rate doesnt mean I deserve my spot

seriously? how the hell am I supposed to go anywhere but down the ladder if you fucking rig the gains against me can I AT LEAST GAIN AS MUCH AS I LOSE!?!?!? fuck off and rework your system

LP is bullshit. We should just use a straight MMR system like most games do.

It's ok though because the tier systems falls off late game.

In all seriousness, the tier system is stupid and we should just have the good ol' ladder system.

Don't worry it's not only in challenger, the MMR penalty starts once you enter dia. I mean ofc im no challenger but i got into dia 5/4 at the beginning of the season with a 60% winrate. Getting 20-25 lp and losing 13-17. I lost three or 4 games in a row in dia 4 and suddenly -23 lp and +13 ever since then until my winrate finally got to 50% and now even below. You win three games and lose one and you are nearly back to where you started. God forbid you lose two games in a row. Now win 4-5 to get back where you were prior to those losses.

the difference between you and RNG boosted monkeys , is that they are professional players so they have to look good.

2MRMakeLoLSukD1ck,

MMR and LP are different things. for your MMR question here is the short answer:

the method for determining MMR is based on an assumption, that you face totally random players at your level, and that those totally random people are different each time.

In challenger, there are not a lot of players so you must see the same player many times. this breaks the method because your win% against a KNOWN player is very different than your win% against a random unknown player.
