I have normal MMR at the moment and am only getting 19 LP. However just a few days ago I went on a huge loss streak, went from plat1 normal mmr getting 19 lp per win, to plat 4 with gold 1 mmr getting 21 LP per win.
Even when I play on my smurf, I get 30+ LP per win till I get to about gold 3.
Jbels1 votesIf you gained more LP the higher your rank, there would be a lot more people in Diamond by now
BALDG1VEN BOOMER1 votesIt's to make climbing more harder, I also think your LP gains correlates with your win rate.
Aazzlano1 votesUsed to be super bad in D1. I'd gain 2 points for a win, lose 2 for a loss, typically. But I'd lose 3 if I dodged. Not sure if at the time there was 10 for the second dodge, but yeah.
Literally months of being held hostage in games by trolls with absolutely no 'counterplay' since we could NOT dodge.

Aazzlano1 votesThe dumb part is that since you lost so little (even though you gain little so it's the same really) people did not care and would troll for any tiny reason. And the population was small cuz it was some of the highest ranked players (Master did not exist and Challenger was only top 50 I think) so you'd see the same people all the time.
If you did bad one game you would get inted on multiple times after that by someone who was on your team. And since they don't actually issue punishment for inting there was no deterrent and no escape because you couldn't dodge.....
Funny enough, the game was way healthier back then, so I'd still take that back over the shit balance/game direction we have now.
And that says a lot.

It's literally impossible for you to know your MMR; it is 100% hidden. If you're gaining less LP than you're losing it means your MMR is lower than the equivalent of your rank.
