I had 40-12 WL and still lost 19 LP.

What should I do for high MMR? Isn't a bit annoying to rise even when not like you guys didn't announce division markers until 1 month left?

And I can't imagine what is going to happen when I became diamond. Losing 19, gaining 20. Such a bullshit.

I gained 17 lp with 41-13 WL, meanwhile I'm losing 19. Please, what is problem with my MMR?

Duo'ing with a friend and losing a game makes you lose more LP than if you are Solo Queuing. A statement from Riot was essentially

"Because of the inherent advantages to duo'ing with a partner, (communication being the biggest) you will lose more per loss and gain less per win."

If you solo Q, you should see normal MMR and LP gains/losses per match. But if you choose to duo, you will see smaller MMR and LP gains from and larger MMR and LP losses per match. Mostly due to duo'ing with a lower ranked friend. If you duo with a friend of a lower ranking than you, you are usually expected to win that match since you have the communication advantage and you're versing lower ranking people than normal.

TL:DR: If you stop duo'ing, then you should get higher LP/MMR gains and lower LP/MMR losses after a few matches. Solo Queuing is better for climbing in the long term LP/MMR/ gains and climbing the ladder.

I hope this helped!

That's not true - When I soloQ I gain 23 and lose 20 -_-

You should try solo Q'ing now, you might seen bigger differences then before. I'd also like to point out that as you've said in your post, you gain 17 per win and 19 per loss. that's a -2 LP net loss. You've also said that solo Q wins give you 23 LP and losses lose you 20, that's a net increase in +3. That means that going 50/50 in solo Q would help more than 50/50 in Duo.

On my climb to plat, most of my games were solo Q because I knew it would help me the most, so at the end of my climb, when i reached plat and then plat 4 promos, I was gaining 28-30 LP per win and only losing 12-15 per loss. Then I played duo to help get my friend to plat, when we won I gained only around ~26 LP and a loss was ~-17 LP. It's from experience and what I remember a rioter saying is why I wrote that.

Sorry if that didn't help still, I tried.
