Im just curious because i keep hearing from pros etc if you have 50% or higher win rate you will climb, yet i have 50 and have been 50 or higher for a while now and i get like 16 or less lp when i win and lose more than that when i lose? why is this?
Because according to the system it probably doesnt believe you are suppose to be in what ever rank you are currently at. So it pushes you to try and win. If you show the system you deserve that Ranking (by winning games) then the 50% win rate can be true, but its only like that if you are suppose to be in that ranking!
The ranked system is broken for several reasons, including the one you mention. There is no rhyme or reason to it and most games are decided by luck.
A >50% winrate means you win at least 501/1000 You will climb, but it takes a hell lot of time.
Imagine it being like that win +16 lose -17 win +16 lose -17 win +16 win +16 lose -17 win +16 lose -17 win +16 lose -17 win +16 lose -17 lose -17 win +16
makes a grant total of 9 It will take alot of time, but you will definitely climb with a >50% winrate.
However, a 50% winrate means you're in the league you belong to. If you want to climb faster, or climb in generell, you should try to improve. I'm not saying you're bad, but there are always things, minor or major doesn't matter, that you can improve at.
You need to be carrying games. You don't climb by geting carried. When you're good enough to get out of your elo you'll go on a winning streak and then stagnate until the same thing happens again.
