MMR - How Do I Fix It?

Since the beginning of this season I have been climbing steadily to a peak of Gold 4 last week. However within the last month, my MMR has gradually, and then suddenly last week, tanked tremendously. The last week especially a win will grant me 14 LP and a loss will cost me as much as 23 LP. Also, the teams I have been paired with have been noticeably of lesser quality. Chekcing sites like op.gg show that even when I WIN a game, my MMR sometimes drops! I am sitting at a ridiculous low of around 1300 at the moment and no matter what position I play or how well I play, I cannot seem to fix it. The LP win loss ratios are really grating and making ranked considerably less fun for me to play. How can I fix this?

Ahhh MMR is such a good system. I am so glad it is hidden behind our meaningless ranks.

Or not, because hidden MMR in league makes no sense with the current visible rank system.

  1. OP.GG calculates mmr by running calcs based on your allies/opponents, then giving a guesstimate. If its "guess" has your mmr drop, it doesn't mean it ACTUALLY dropped. It just means that its guesstimating something lower based on the people you played with, even if you won.

  2. Only way to fix your mmr is to win games. Figure out something and start winning games. Even if you go up 2, lose 1, and make barely any lp gain, don't focus on your lp and focus on your W/L. Just get wins.

You have a negative win rate. You wont have decent mmr until you're at least 50%.
