D5 LP Gain/Loss

Hi its Kale·Mar 26, 2016·1 votes·706 views

Before hitting diamond 5, i was getting anywhere between 20-25 LP a win in plat 1, and 10-15 per loss. When I got promoted to diamond 5, I was only receiving 13-14 lp a win and 20-25 a loss. Is this due to higher rankings playing an absurd amount of games, that it causes imbalanced mmr for the lower rankings? I've read up on this being a continued issue for multiple seasons now through multiple posts/websites. Is there not a way to permanently fix this issue, or is it a variation based on how many games are played overall as a player base that it's unpredictable?

It's intended. Until your MMR is equivalent to diamond 4, it will actively try not to promote you, even letting you get 0 LP in some circumstances. The difference in MMR between 4 and 5 is huge for every level. d5 is similar to plat 2 but d4 is well above plat 1. Hence your struggle.

I down voted you because mathematical logarithmic scaling is a fucking redundant phrase. You came here and posted just to watch yourself type those words and feel feelings about yourself.

and i downvoted you because you just showed me you haven't reached the 10th grade yet.

its very basic, its very easy. and you just dont know it yet simply because of age.

Is there a kind of logarithmic scaling that isn't mathematical?

So in other words, keep playing until it all balances out with no way of promoting otherwise. got it.
