I've been very ranked focus since season 7 started. I started off bronze 5, then went up all the way to silver 4. But then I started losing a lot, and I' barely in silver 5 now. I used to gain about 19 lp, lose 18, and now I gain 14, lose 23. Can someone tell me the wins to loss ratio I need in order to go back to getting 19 lp? Because it sucks winning 3 games, then losing all ur lp in just 2 games.
It's MMR based, not win-loss ratio. They're often closely related if you only solo, but your mmr gains/losses depend on your mmr relative to the mmrs of your team/your opponents team. Depending on matchmaking times and time of day, even solo you can get some variation in the average mmrs of teams compared to yourself.
If you duo with someone with a significantly higher MMR than you, you'll be lower than the average mmr in that game, and so the system expects you to lose. If you do lose, you won't lose much MMR, but if you win than you'll gain much more MMR. The reverse is true if you duo with someone with a somewhat lower MMR than you, as then you'd have an MMR above the average for the game and so expected to win.
I don't know how the LP gain/loss system works. But it's really stupid because I get 19 lose 18. And one of my friends with the SAME MMR AS ME gets 30 loses 9.
It matters on which rank your mmr should be at. You can look it up on op.gg. Theres no magic number a random person on the boards can tell you.
