Why is mmr still fvcked up?

The Bíg Ticket··1 votes·842 views

So I started this season in Silver II (finished Season 4 in Gold III but had bad placements, think 3-7), I got to Gold again really quick and a couple months later I reached Platinum. My winrate then was 126-103, I got up to Plat IV very soon, then the misery started. I would lose alot of games (even 12 games in a row at some point rofl) but kept playing until I got demoted to Gold I. My mmr was Gold V level at that point and I got 6 LP for a win at some point. So I needed like 15 wins just to get back to my Platinum promos since I would gain an average of 12 LP and lose 25 for a defeat, however it didn't take me long and I got back to Plat BUT MY MMR DIDN'T IMPROVE much. I still kept facing mid Gold players or other Plat Vs with bad mmr even though I won like all of my games since making it back to Plat my mmr still sucks...I am at 211 wins and 192 losses right now after getting back to Plat IV 2 days ago but even in my Plat IV promos I faced alot of Gold players as you can see in the images attached.

So yeah...why is that the case and what can I do? I mean, it leads to more wins playing against players below my own skill level but I would rather compete against people in my elo.

Taking a dive like that messes your mmr up very hardcore. The only real thing you can do is win...A LOT. At that point you'd probably need like a straight 20 win streak to totally fix your mmr and even then I can't say for sure how much better it would be.

which is impossible considering u only control 20% each match,, hope you have no afks or play with reliable people.. not to mention the people who climb ranks play specific champs... all of the most effective champs atm.. and riot seems like it decides viability per season...

They wanna make sure, you truly deserve Plat. (sense you dropped a crapton) and didn't just make it there off some fluke.

Well I got to Platinum 2 times now in one season, doesn't it show I "deserve" Plat?

Just because you get to plat doesn't mean you should be playing against all plat 1's, you are probably bad as shown in these 3 matches and really just squeaked by getting out of gold. When you start winning more and get plat 1 or 2 then you'll be playing against more golds

How do these matches show I am bad? And I got out of Gold 2 times this season. Started in silver, got Gold, then Plat, tilted back to Gold, then got Plat again. Win rate of 211-192.

Rofl...you see that from 3 matches? And mind explaining why I get carried? Because I can actually play every role and play what is needed for my team?

Note that those gold players may have an extremely high MMR for their division as they are still climbing. Be glad. From my experience, having gold teams was much more promising than plat V teams. Same now for plat I-II vs diamond V.
