Quick question about MMR

stoppable btw·Mar 30, 2018·2 votes·286 views

I am in silver 2, and I have climbed from bronze 1 this season. I quickly went from b1 to s3, winning about 24 lp per win. Then I started losing streaks, like usually after a long win streak. After that, I never seemed to get my MMR up. On op.gg it says I have "a higher mmr than average" but I am still losing about 19-22 lp per loss and gaining 16-18 per win. I am currently 7-3 in my last 10 games. If anyone knows why I am losing more lp than gaining, please respond. Thanks! <3

Op.gg and similar are just estimates, not your actual mmr. If you're losing more LP than you're gaining, your mmr is lower than expected for your rank, which is more a function of your overall winrate instead dof just your last 10 games or so.

'Normal' is roughly 20 for either a loss or a win for what it's worth.

Like MysticMan89 said, op.gg is not entirely accurate. You can estimate what your MMR is based off the amount of LP you are losing vs the amount of LP you are gaining. Losing 22 LP per loss and gaining 18 per win? Your MMR might be lower for your division. Losing 15 LP per loss and gaining 25 per win? Your MMR might be a bit higher than the division you are currently in.
