Climbing

Can anyone describe to me what sense MMR has in ranked? I have solo climbed to Gold, but since game decides my MMR is lower then Gold, I get 15 lp per win, but lose 20 per loss. How is it possible to climb like that? One loss pretty much erases 2 wins. Makes no sense to me when it comes to progression. Punished more then you are rewarded.

Just gets annoying knowing one loss pretty much wipes out the previous 2 wins.

And anyone who has solo climbed through Silver knows just how much effort it takes...

Shouldn't it be reversed since I have technically climbed higher then what Riot is trying to say my skill level is? Since technically if I win I would be beating "better opponents" according to that logic.

you need a 51% win rate to climb. Thats it. Dw about how much LP you lose individually or gain. You want to look at it as winning 2 of every 3 games or 3 of every 4 or 5 and break when you lose 2 consecutively. The more you win in a row the faster you climb the more you lose in a row the faster you fall
