Because it's end of season, I suggest avoiding ranked until season 7 starts up.

Wrong.

It's based on your elo. If it's lower than what it's supposed to be, you gain less, and vice versa.

For instance, if you queue up with lower ranking players, your MMR drops and you gain/lose less. If you queue up with higher players often, your MMR rises above what it should be for your rank and you gain/lose more.

The average (aka if your MMR is appropriate for your rank) is +20/-20. Low is +18/-18, or even less. I've seen +16/-16. High is +22/-22, or even more. I've seen +25/-25.

The current time in the season has no effect on your LP gains.

well that sucks....i went through a loosing streak the last few weeks, and now trying to climb back up has been harder than climing out of bronze....

well. at least this gives me hope of getting gold still this season.

End of season throws LP reward and loss way off, happens every season, every year once LCS gets going.

As someone who has ranked for three years, three seasons, I can confirm that this never happens and your MMR is just wack.

######Also LCS starts in Spring. You're thinking of the World Championship, not the LCS. Good try though.

Because your hidden MMR is out of line with your current ladder ranking.
