Having low mmr is actually really annoying

I actually am starting to believe op.gg when it says "your account is now in elo hell" haha. I completely fucked this account and it honestly feels like it. I am gold 5 0 lp with silver 4 mmr. I find it hilarious that I keep getting wrecked almost every game. Then I win and get 13 lp. Feelsbadman. Its my fault but damn is it annoying. Can't wait to be placed low bronze next week at the start of season 7. Going to be funny being bronze 3-5 in the summer with a gold border.

Riot should probably look into lowering the amount of losses needed to drop tiers. Like honestly.... my account should have been back in silver a long time ago. I even have a red indicator saying "you will be demoted soon if you keep losing" - paraphrased yet I am still in gold despite continuing to lose. I am not even trolling like I legitimately have been trying to win but keep getting fucked.

I have 3 accounts in gold so I am not a silver player, but at the same time highest gold 3 so I am not even plat level. So obviously not much better than most silver players so it makes sense I don't just hard stomp games. I just find it funny that my account still in gold when I can't even carry silver 3-5 level games. But at the same time it is also painful if your mmr drops this low. Its hard to take the games seriously because my teammates do such stupid shit it makes me want to just hide my head in sand. Yea... I could just play jungle 15 games in a row and get my mmr back up to normal but don't see the point right now since its preseason anyways and am sick of jungling.

Not sure the point of this post except, lowering your mmr really does suck so be careful. Also, they should probably lower the handicap on tier rank demotion. Look at d5, p5, g5, s5 and you will see there are tons of account just sitting there trying not to be demoted. Keep it competitive. its nice to have a handicap so people keep playing but holy hell having to drop your mmr a complete tier lower before being demoted is a bit much. I fucked myself from poor play but no reason my account should be in gold right now.

I like it. Tanked my 3s and 5s flex and super easy games to farm boxes & mastery tokens while solo will be my main ladder queue

The thing about dropping tiers that I don't like is the fact that I won every single game up until my d5 promos, lost them, then got back in and won it instantly. But now I am stuck in d5 for like 150 games maybe? I'm not sure, but I feel like the lowest part of a division being 5 is always the hardest to get out of, so I just have to wait til' season 7 to realistically start climbing again.

If you have silver 4 mmr but are in gold then you are going to drop pretty quick. You drop based on your MMR not the number of losses you get. That's also why you get such a low amount of LP when you win.

Take this time to practice how to solo carry or learn new roles. Almost every game is a clown fiesta with a 5 division in it because many people don't care and have already accomplished what they wanted.
