LP System

Can someone explain how the LP +/- is issued to the account after each ranked game? I feel like I always get/lose a different number after each game. Is there some system with performance?

1st. No performance in the game does not affect lp loss/gain. 2nd. You are awarded LP based on your MMR. Sadly this number is hidden. Basically if your MMR is higher than the average for where you are you will gain more and climb faster. And the opposite for dropping. From what I understand, 17 is about average.

Wonderful, thank you. Do you happen to know the range? Like top MMR = +25 LP & lowest MMR = -25 (random numbers)

People intentionally dodging to prevent promotions have been known to get upwards of 30 lp for a win on smurfs, but I don't think theres really any caps if you manage the mmr difference. Perhaps a bronze 5 with top tier challenger mmr could jump from 0 lp to 100 in a single game if they somehow got their mmr there (which is increasingly difficult of course, as you'll almost certainly get promoted much sooner).
