So - after climbing out of B5 5 times this year and almost immediately getting demoted after 2 loses in B4 - I'm on the borderline of quitting altogether. I love League and the strategy of the game. But it seems hopeless. It takes me 3 wins in B4 to make up the LP I lose in 1 loss. I have no idea what to do about my MMR. But I'm assuming it must be awful to only gain 8 points and lose 23-27 per win/loss. Any thoughts? I'm I better of just starting a new account?
Bronze V doesn't experience clamping of LP. You climbed out of B5 as if you were exactly in the right MMR pool, fact is you are probably way under.
All you have to keep in mind is that (if your win rate is above 50%) your MMR is climbing and you should get out of there slowly.
Creating a new account won't REALLY solve the problem. Your skill level is probably around B1 at best. Keep playing, learn from your experiences and enjoy a game.
Ranked doesn't mean much to anyone. (unless you are in the challenger series) LoL stays a game, if you think grinding another account is fun, just go ahead and do it, but I have a strong feeling that you don't think that.
Take a break from ranked to learn new champions. Try playing with some of your friends who are higher ranked. my MMR was once godlike because of how i used to play with a bunch of my friends who were gold/plat. i didnt preform the best but it will help out tremendously
Your MMR is low because of your performance. It's really fairly simple. If you won a lot more than you lost (especially vs better ranked competition), each win would give you more LP than a loss would remove.
Anyway, this game isn't just about ranked and I don't think you should care so much about ranking. I only play ranked because I like the atmosphere better but not because I care that much about where I'm at. On my main, I went from G2 in preseason to S4 playing AP varus and Kennen JG. I got placed in Silver for S5 and I'm G5 now. I just tried to have fun but did have to give up AP Varus and Kennen JG. Why did you nerf soft leashes Riot!???
