Man, I swear Riot is scamming me. I was on my way to get out of the shithole elo that is bronze. I was gaining 27 lp per win until bronze 1-79lp, when rito hit me with 20lp out of no fucking where. Then, placed me in teams with trolls, greifers, afks, 2k pingers for 5 games in a row. It is as if Rito is intentionally placing me with these such players so I can't escape. One of the games, everyone in the game was silver 4+ expect me and this talon. The talon was BRONZE 5. He literally inted the entire game, had 11 cs in 20 min. Another game, I got a vayne who afked cuz her sup was like "imma back, play safe". Like can you make it any more obvious riot. No wonder, everyone is leaving this dying game.

Last season when i tried to finally get into the bronze 1 promos, i managed to get >95 <100 LP and dropped back down to <20 LP. This happened 3 times in a row. Eventually, i made my way to Bronze 1 100LP at the end of the Season with a pretty good MMR for Bronze. This Season i got placed in Silver 4. Every once in a while, i checked my and the enemy team and it turned out, that almost every time the enemy team had an average win rate of 40% while my Team only had an average win rate of 30-ish%. You'd say thats unfair, but i think its reasonable because of me having had a 65+% winrate.

My Point is, don't get frustrated, you'll get there eventually. Look at the things you may be doing wrong or things you could be doing differently. There are games you just can not win, no matter how hard you try. Just keep trying and you'll get there, eventually.. unless you're negative and make people feel bad which would make them plays alot worse, then of course you won't climb, ever.

You gain or lose LP based on your elo. LP (your league rank) and your elo are entirely different things.

If you have silver 3 ELO and you're bronze 5 you will gain an insane amount of LP per game. Even if you maintain a 50% winrate you will gradually climb to silver 3 since you're playing against people that are silver 3 elo as well. The gains slow diminish as you get closer to silver 3. For example, you might get 25 at bronze 3 but get 21 at bronze 1.

The simple solution is to stop worrying about your LP and worry about your elo. Having more than a 50% winrate generally means your elo will increase.

There is 0 gain for riot to do this. Note that even a modified ELO system (whats used by matchmaker) Requires several hundred games to properly place some one with high accuracy of their assigned skill to their true skill.

If you believe this is done to make players play more games, the system already requires a high number of games for accuracy, extra step accomplishes nothing.

If its to make money, There's no profit in pissing off players to the point they quit and any in game transactions that influence gameplay that can be purchased with RP, can be purchased with BE. Extra step accomplishes nothing.

If you think you get punished for a win streak. No reason to do this as there's no positive end result by forcing 50% win rates. The system will try to learn your strength and skill then place you on paper with other players it thinks are at your level. Takeing extra time to search for bad players would increase que times, if riot was willing to blatantly up que times they could instead do it with systems that hunted for positive players, folks with similar # of ranked games played, etc.

this Forced losses BS comes up in team games and mobas all the time because people hear "our match maker wants to give you 50% chance for a win" and they think its forced or riggs it. Google Dota 2, Overwatch, Smite, Heros of the Storm, you will find threads complaining about 50% forced win rates. Go back to season 1 and 2 in league and hey you can find complaints about Forced win rates. its rubbish to claim its forced when it can accomplish the exact same end goal by just working as intended, when some one says YES ITS TO MAKE PEOPLE PLAY MORE GAMES, well its a law of large numbers system that already expects and wants you to play more games the hell do you need to add extra work to accomplish the same end goal. Honestly why would any one bother with that?

Your talon was b5 and his MMR has tanked because he is a bad talon. His main is lux with 200+ games and 52% His talon is under 50 games and a terrible 29% win rate. Theres no way for the system to reliably know who he will play, so theres no way for it to try to dick you in advanced reliably.

By all means, Give me a logical reason that riot would want to rig their game and tilt their players.

Alternatively, if you want a legitimate complaint, Duo Queing is likely the reason that talon ever ended up on your team. Enemy had a b5 nid duoing with a silver. it factors both of them then adds a bit of extra MMR to their team strength in calculation.

...and your last win the enemy team had a B2 Garen with that is brand new to the game and has a 29% win rate (6W 15L) and their Kai'Sa is B1 with a 9% win rate (1W 10L). Enjoy the free wins, and ignore the losses.
