Ranked MMR Problems

Currently, I am Bronze V and I just can't climb the ranked ladder to Silver because it is a long stretch and I am stuck in elo hell. No, this post will not be a rant about me being salty because I am in Bronze V. I think there is a problem with my hidden MMR. I keep hovering between Bronze V and Bronze IV because I can't gain LP while maintaining a positive winrate. In Bronze V, I gain 20LP per win and lose 25LP per loss, but I can manage to win five games in a row and get to placements with one free win granted. When I get to Bronze IV, I gain 13LP per win and lose 25LP per loss. When I complain about this to my Silver and Gold friends, they jokingly say, "just don't lose," but seriously, there is a problem. I heard that when queueing against lower ranks, you win less LP per win and lose more per loss. I think the problem is that playing against Bronze V when I get to Bronze IV is only considered a small victory, but losing to them is a big loss. Riot, please fix this problem. As others are gaining 25LP per win and going up divisions in 4 wins, I can't even grind 9 wins in a row for 12LP each. Please fix whatever the issue is. Is it my win/loss ratio. I need an explanation at the very least or I will have to wait till next season to play ranked without this fucked up MMR LP system algorithm used for me.

Just grind your games. You are at the top of your division.

If you win more than you lose your MMR will eventually stabilize. Get good KDAs and Win rates for maximum results

No offense but if you cant get out of Bronze you most likely belong there. I used to do the same thing but i improved my play, fixed my mentality, and eventually climbed out of bronze 5. of course you will still have those games where every lane feeds, but that still happens in higher silver. I'm not saying silver is elo heaven or anything but i personally can easily get out of bronze if i ever went there, and if i every played on my friends accounts. (which i dont ;p) try playing a role and sticking with it, for me it was top lane garen to climb out of bronze, then i stuck with adc in silver, and now i play jg.

if you cannot win with an mmr of b4 you dont deserve to climb.
