your "correct" elo before was below bronze, but since bronze was the lowest you could go your lp gains/losses weren't that bad. now that iron is added, the system is trying to put you at the rank your mmr deserves, which is iron. you have 30 fucking losses over wins and yet you think the problem isnt your mmr?

Maybe it's due to the new rank system. Like I was gold 5 to end last season. So I'd actually expect to be low/mid silver this season due to higher elo people being trickled down. How far down depends on what the percentages are weighted to be for each elo: iron, bronze, silver, gold, etc. Like silver and bronze had about 50% or more of players last season. Now I'd expect iron through maybe silver 4 or 3 to contain the same percent of players. Lower gold elo will probably be mid silver. Lower plat players will probably be gold 2 or higher this year.

So it could be league's way of getting you bumped to your NEW correct elo faster. Also due to the new season and placements mmr is going to probably fluctuate fairly wildly until you have a solid number of games to establish it properly. The system can't tell off 2 games if you won 1 because you were good and one because of the smurf diamond jax carrying your whole team or if you won 2 off just playing slightly better than your opponent and your team working together better.
