I don't know what's going on. Last 10 games I've lost. Only game I won was when I carried hard on Twitch. Sigh. This ranked system sucks. It takes way too much time to climb up the ladder then it is to fall down. Why should I be demoted if I worked so hard to get up the ladder? Seriously.
Ranks are about rating players based on their skill compared to one-another. Which ultimately means if you aren't that impressive compared to other people you're not going to advance. It's not an RPG system where you get to advance simply because you showed up.
As for loosing more rank than winning - not 100% sure what the gain/loss difference is due to, but it does automatically create a pyramid tiering of the different ranks, making each additional rank progressively harder to achieve than the last. Which carries a few advantages. For one, players aren't going to get a top rank by accident. Secondly - it makes higher ranks mean something. If ranked was set up more like a rectangle where there were ~10,000 bronze, ~10,000 silver, ~10,000 gold, ~10,000 plat, ~10,000 diamond, and ~10,000 challenger players it would make the higher ranks feel a lot more meh.
Don't play while on tilt.
I reached gold V to plat V in less than a week by only playing when I felt really good.
All I can say is, you're tilting. Take a break for a few days before you irreparably damage your MMR.
Long streaks will cause the system to accelerate your MMR changes, it works both ways. The way the system is setup, it's easier to stagnate or move up than it is to get demoted.
You have been tilted. Also this is end of season where the smurfs are everywhere. That doesn't help. Sorry :(
Same story -- from Silver I to Silver III in ~9 days. I seem to do better with "troll" picks (Support Gangplank) than I do when I'm "try-harding".
Play draft normal. You get IP regardless win or loss.
