I found a champ I've been having a blast with in bot lane, Xerath, and went on a bit of a winning streak winning 8 games in a row. I blew through promos to Gold 1 with straight wins and then didn't play any games for 2 days. Very next game i play is a loss, and even though i should have a decent mmr with an 8 game winning streak i get insta demoted and by 25 LP at that. Very cool lul. Anything like this happen to anyone else?

Play only 20 matches in ranked? Be surprised that your mmr and rank are still volatile? Cool, Cool

This is why previous seasons had 10 placements without telling you your rank and then gave you a rank waaaaay below your mmr and of course people whined at the start of every season about being placed way below where they ended the previous season.

The system simply can't have a very good idea of where you belong after so few matches so either you start out really low and work your way up or you start out medium/high rank and then have wild swings until you get more matches under your belt. The new system went with the latter due to positional rank (which is now gone) but in the long run it will level out.
