Retarded ip clamping

This ip gain/loss really needs to be fixed. impossible to climb without a 10-15 winning streak its just so demoralizing especially in one of the most toxic and trollest elos.

You wouldn't be climbing no matter the ELO bracket with a 4 loss streak. Quit bitching about the system and figure out what you're doing wrong instead. 4/6/3, 1/8/7, 1/6/5, 4/7/4 losses, and you're looking to blame your inability to climb on clamping? No, sir, that's not clamping.

Diamond 5 was confirmed to have bugged LP gains by Riot.

Not saying he deserves to climb though.

Clamping means you get reduced LP gains. For example, instead of gaining and losing around 20 LP per match, you would gain 10-15 LP per win and lose 20-25 LP per loss, making it very difficult to climb.

The reason this occurs is because matchmaking is based off of your MMR (Match Making Rating), which is not connected to your actual rank. If the rough MMR equivalent of Diamond 5 is 2200, but your MMR is only 2000, then the system will effectively try to push you out of Diamond 5 via clamping, because based on MMR you do not belong there.

That's where the issue arises though. The Platinum 1 -> Diamond 5 jump is different from other division 1 -> division 5 jumps. Platinum 1 correlates roughly with 2000 MMR, but Diamond 5 correlates roughly with 2200 MMR. That huge gap doesn't exist in the lower divisions. As a result, if a Plat 1 makes it up to Diamond 5, his MMR is going to be around 2000, or just slightly above - which is significantly less than the rough 2200 MMR value of Diamond 5. As a result, the system will clamp you, resulting in huge LP losses and tiny LP gains.

This makes it EXTREMELY frustrating to try to climb out of Diamond 5, because every 5 wins will be nullified by 3 losses or so. That's why the OP is so angry. In that sense, his anger is understandable.

But in the end, EVERYONE in Diamond 5 experiences the same kind of clamping. So in comparison to other players, the OP is no better or worse off. In the end, he just has to continue to win more than he loses, and eventually his MMR will grind up to an acceptable level, and the clamping will fall off.

The bottom line is that if you, as a player, continue to improve and win, you will eventually climb, period. OP, are you going to be one of those shitters who gives in to his frustration and calls it quits at the bottom of D5? I think you want more than that, and I think you're capable of more than that, so suck it up and get your head back in it. Everyone who has climbed above your ELO bracket has experienced and overcome the exact same thing.

You need to work on a lot of things.. You went 1-8 against a Rumble with Panth.. Unless you were camped the ENTIRE game you should have been fed.

These comments lol. People who are terrible players themselves telling me to get better. Yes maybe but they shouldnt be coming out of your mouth. Also dont tell me i dont deserve to climb if you never saw replays of the games i had. I am sure everybody has been camped/had afks/simply terrible teams.

When you don't know the difference between IP and LP you clearly don't know the game well enough and don't even deserve to be in Bronze 5.

Wow you know the difference and you know the game. And your bronze. lol

Not trying to prove anything.

But I'm not a bronze-level player, let's put it that way. :)
