I have heard that you move up/down in the ranking system depending upon your teammates and opponents ranks. That is, I f you win a game against players ranked higher than you, you will earn more LP or something. And if you win a game against players the same or lower than you, then you will move up not as quickly. My question is, does this take into account current ranked status, season 5 ranked status, or both?
PlatypusSurprise2 votesThe higher your MMR vs the other team the more LP you get when you win. If you're on a winning streak and you're getting like 20 LP per win you're likely going to jump a division (you get to skip promos)
There is a super detailed thread about ranked how ranked MMR and stuff work: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/E9nkYATc-psa-regarding-ranked-placement-and-seedings-for-all-who-are-confused
It takes awhile the read it all but it has quite a few interesting bits of information in it. (it talks about more than just placements but the op is just about how placements work after a soft reset)
