I'm guessing you have absolutely no idea how MMR/ranking works.

No, your win rate is 49.0% ( 89 wins / 91 losses ). You lose more often than you win Source: https://www.leagueofgraphs.com/summoner/na/OpraWindSlash

So you're plat 4, but have the MMR of a plat 5. When your MMR (matchmaker rating) is BELOW the average of other players the same rank/LP as you, you begin losing LP faster than you gain it. This is because the system believes you should be a lower rank than you're currently are, because you're "below average", so it makes losses especially punishing, and winning less rewarding (harder to climb out).

So, how do you deal with this? Well one of two things have to occur for it to re-balance: 1.) Win. A lot. Based off what I'm viewing here, i'd say if you won 7 of your next 10 matches, it would rebalance. If you win 4 in a row, it'll probably be "normal" again.

2.) Lose, get demoted. This means the matchmaking system was correct, and will place you in the correct rank based on your MMR. Only a few repetitive losses should do this, and you'll gain LP quicker than you lose it.

Of course, both of these happen naturally, so the real thing you need to do is just keep playing. Bitching about it was your undoing (you lost so many games, matchmaking believes you're in the wrong rank).

Bump Of course you're going to lose more than you gain especially when you're playing with HIGH SILVERS AND MEDIUM TO LOW GOLDS. You can't expect riot to reward you for beating people you should already be beating in the first place and to lose to those types of people is, as Cynicul stated, showing that the matchmaking system is correct and your real Elo is lower than where you currently are.

Where in the world did you pull up 68% win rate because there's nothing on your Ranked Solo/Duo or Flex matches that is higher than 50%.

Also adding to what Cynicul said earlier. If you want to grind up fast then you may need to get a higher mmr buddy to help fix your MMR right quick with duoing (Which may actually lower his mmr but it's the only legal way to rank quicker than going through the game after game win streak for a higher MMR). Honestly, I expected a lower gain and a higher loss when I checked out your acc details.

Bro my win rate was higher than my losses before I got to plat when I was gold 1 I have no problem about my MMR but the time I got in plat 5 riot matched me up with low Elo players that's why I loss many times and that lowered my MMR. I was wondering what's wrong with the matchups :(
