Hi, i recently have started playing alot of ranked and just reached silver 3 on a 7 win streak, and i was wondering what MMR is based upon, is it what you do in game like kills,towers etc, or is it purely based on your wins/loses?
And i am also wondering how you can "skip or jump over " a division.
z14GaKI7TO1 votesMMR is based on wins and your MMR. Your MMR will raise faster if you win games against tougher opponents and your MMR will go down drastically if you lose games against weaker opponents. I'm pretty sure skipping isn't the most difficult thing in the world because I've done it before but I havent yet done it this season. I think skipping is harder in lower elo because I've skipped gold tiers but never skipped bronze/silver tiers.

Instead of going from b3 to b2, we are just gonna jump you to b1. This can happen several times until your MMR evens out. I remember last season when placements were bugged for the first day or two, my brother (plat 4) got placed into b4 and went from b4 to b2 to s5, to s3 before he started doing the normal progressions. I havn't heard of that happening since, though.
xl Kirito lx1 votesAs said below, skipping happens when your mmr is incredibly high. If you're playing at silver 3, but the system thinks you should be gold 3, you might start skipping divisons until that point.
Last season, I skipped gold 3, and this season I've skipped plat 4. Typically you're going to have to have 30+ lp gains for mmr - At least from personal experience.
