Those numbers aren't consistent. If you're losing 50 on a loss, then you're prone to only gain 1 or 2 LP on a win..

LP losses/gains depend on your mmr relative to the division you're in. If your mmr is lower than the division you're in, it'll take away lots of LP on losses and give relatively little for wins. If your mmr is higher, than the reverse is true. Losing more than 20 LP in a match is fairly unlikely unless you're like a full tier above your mmr, and as such losing 50 is rather unlikely.

I expect you dodged a match or two if you feel you lost 50, and just didn't realise you lose LP for dodging.

I have never ever gotten a leaver buster in ranked for dodging.

Leaver buster is unrelated to the fact you lose LP when you dodge.

I have already told you, I have never dodged a game in ranked. So please, read my response more carefully.

You said you never got "a leaver buster in ranked for dodging", not that you never dodged. I also never said you actually dodged, just that that was another explanation.

In any case, if you haven't dodged and you lost 50 LP from a single ranked game, then you must have an MMR near the very bottom of bronze 5. I haven't bothered to look you up since it doesn't really matter to me, but that's how the LP calculations work.

Leaver Buster and Dodge are 2 different things. Dodge is leaving the queue before the game starts but when you are already in champ select. It costs you LP, but isn't considered AFK/Leaving the game, so you can't be Leaver-Buster'ed for that.

I have never dodged or gotten a leaver buster penalty in ranked queue. Mysticman is just bringing up questions that have already been addressed as a troll.

Calling a guy that takes time out of his day to explain you how the system works a troll, that's just stupid. When this same guy offers a suggestion to explain what you saw (because your own explanation is obviously wrong) and that you reply with something that hints at you being confused, and then a 2nd guy (myself) comes and try to make sure there isn't any confusion in there, and you downvote him, that's also stupid.

Maybe try to be open to people coming and answering to the bloody post you made yourself and trying to help you?
