its a proprietary stat that is meaningless. Just ignore it.

Means you have increased your ELO/MMR by that much I think, not 100% on that though.

Increased it in what? overall? past week? past day?

The +351 is just your change in score this week.

your LolKing score is 1361, an estimation of your MMR.

1300 is about mid silver. gold starts around 1500. plat starts around 1850.

i think its all inaccurate and confusing. i wish riot would have stats in profile idk why it isnt a thing yet

Because they don't want someone being 1300 MMR and harassing a teammate when they have 1250. They also don't want people throwing tantrums if they get an opponent with something like a 1350 MMR.

It's the same reason that they took away being able to see borders around the enemy team, as well as ping.

Because then they would have to make a more legit elo system. MMR is so unpredictable. I have a friend who went 4-6 in provisionals went from plat 5-silver 5. I went 3-7 and went gold5-silver4. Tell me how I get placed higher losing more games than him from a lower tier?

ROK ViaterFeb 6, 20161 votes

do you and that friend duo?

if so, when he loses games with you his MMR drops faster and when you win yours goes up faster. so you are gold 5 with a good MMR and he's plat 5 with a bad MMR. This is part of the reason that you can only duo with people one division apart.

The +351 is just your change in score this week. (Could be by day I don't remember) So yes that's pretty good.

your LolKing score is 1361, an estimation of your MMR.

1300 is about mid silver. gold starts around 1500. plat starts around 1850.

When does the week reset? so my king score is just barely above mid silver (would be silver 3)? I see

It seems like its strange intervals, if you look at the LolKing score box on your profile you can see the dots for each day it was measured. So the +351 would be since the last time it was recorded. Not sure as to how they chose when. Because if you look at the previous dots, you can see they are pretty random.

My dots, I have one for Feb 6th, Feb 4th, Feb 3rd etc. not really a week, but really it's about everytime I check my king score :P every day or so does that mean the +351 was since the 4th?

That's not your score really. Your score is under your name. Your score is relatable to your elo. The higher you climb, the higher your lolking score will go. The +351 that you're seeing is how much you've increased it over a certain period of time.

Let's say that's your ranked division numeralized.

Back in the day, when ELO was a number, ranked borders were given for people who went past a certain threshold.

As I don't remember exact numbers, let's say, Diamond was 2000 ELO and Plat was 1800. When Riot added ladders, each tier(ex. Diamond, Platinum) got 5 divisions.

LoLKing uses pre-ladder numerical scoring for each tier, division and the LP you currently have.

So for LoLking: Platinum 5 is 1800 score Platinum 4 is 1840 score. Platinum 3 is 1880 score. Platinum 2 is 1920 score. Platinum 1 is 1960 score. Diamond 5 is 2000 score. Etc.

The difference between each division score is the amount of LP(not 1:1 scale, though) you have in that division. Say, you are Plat 1 with 50 LP. Your LoLKing score is therefore 1980.
