MMR is bullshit

Somebody care to explain to me how I'm winning 60-70% of my recent Ranked games and yet my MMR is still lower than average?? It was normal before I went on my winning streaks, and was still slightly above normal after a 6 game win streak. My past few days have floated around the 50% win rate, but why the hell should my MMR be significantly below average after not even having losing streaks, especially after so many wins. This shit makes no sense and I'm hella salty.

The site you are looking at isn't actually a gauge of your mmr. Its an approximation based on the average mmr of the team you last played. If the average mmr of the team you last played was lower than usual, the websites that approximate your mmr will see that and report it to you as your mmr being below average.

What you really want to keep track of how your LP gain/loss per win/loss. Thats the better mark of where your mmr is relative to your rank.

op.gg says you're at 47% not 50%... you have 97W 110L. You'll need to have wins higher than loses for the overall mmr to be better.
