LP gains in platinum are extremely, extremely skewed.

I've climbed P4 to P3 and now surely into P2 with 17-18 LP per win.

Exactly when does the system decide that I don't belong in G3 anymore?

Try playing in diamond right now. Even in my fuckin d2 promos i get a plat 1 49% winrate NON DUO jungler. How can either his mmr be SO HIGH or mine SO LOW at an overall 55% winrate and since i entered diamond 4 i won about 65% of my last 40 games into d2.

So a 65% winrate on the last games+a good overall 55% winrate just doesn't fuckin raise your mmr at all. Even in fuckin d2 promos you play with d4s non stop.

Gaining 14-15 LP and losing 17-18. Ranked is completely fucked, riot fucked up massively and they should have either hard resetted the entire ladder OR reset ranked to end of preseason/start of the season, let people do their placements again and adjust mmr gains this time so no more +40 and -3 LP bullshit. Diamond has 4 times the population of last season. Diamond 4 went from d5 being rougly 1-1,5% of players to like 4%.

It will take another half a year from here on for the ladder to kinda settle itself out again.

Not even talking about how fuckin DISGUSTING match quality is right now. Half of d4s are basically low plat and gold players and if you play with d3-d2 players they are all 5 season d5 0lp stucks who now play a lot ofc instead of sitting on their rank because they actually believe they are now "high diamond" players.

I just uninstalled this game again after a 6 games losing streak of people literally running it down. 25 deaths botlane in a 20 minutes game. Look up their accounts. 48% winrate, plat 4 last season. Now d3 on losing streak keep inting....

Fuck this and riot doesn't even acknowledge how fucked up ranked is right now. But hey atleast master+ isnt THAT bad anymore. Just shove it down diamond so there is absolutely no hope of diamonds climbing through this shit if they aren't grandmaster material.

And u guys in plat will have some fun when the overpopulation of diamond FINALLY drops to plat. Your LP gains will probably get even worse.

This is everywhere.

Started playing on Sg server. Went to Silver II from Iron IV with an 80% winrate but still got paired with people sitting in Silver III to IV with 20-30% winrates constantly before I stopped playing.

It's almost as if they hide the MMR on purpose.
