So I've been on a pretty strong winning streak lately, and have gotten to bronze 2 off of it. Now I'm getting 16 LP per win and op.gg says that my MMR is very low for my ranking... but I've won 58% of my recent games? What is this?
You still get faced primarily against Bronze 3 and some Bronze 4s. By the time you break the 50 LP mark in Bronze 2 it should balance out. In Bronze - Gold it seems pretty normal for your division to be pretty meaningless because it rarely lines up with your MMR. When you hit each tier mark it starts to balance out and then it goes out of sync again as you go since losses at S5 0 LP won't drop you for a long time as far as badges go but your MMR can get down to B3, which means by the time you hit S4 it is possible to only have B1 MMR with the way it currently works. Bronze in the same way, if you EVER hit Bronze 5 it will make your division be off by a division or 2 until you hit S5. Usually around B2 or B1 you'll start to feel the pain since your gains will be bad from having low MMR. Fight through it and it will get better.
It is honestly stupid. When I started playing this game they used the MMR system. This was great for seeing someone's actual skill level. The only problem with it was people developed ladder anxiety, where they were afraid to play because it was so easy to drop from having an MMR equiv to Plat 5 to an MMR equiv to Gold 1, or any division 5 to 1 really, which would lower rewards.
They implemented the new system to reduce ladder anxiety.
