On what is MMR based and how long does it take to adjust?

Hello everyone,

Lately, I started playing league of legends again. I try to stay in gold every season just for the free skin :P. However, this year I experience(d) some major climbing issues. Every game I play the MMR between the two teams is super different. We either win the game super hard or we lose super hard. I'm at this point i'm actually done with the game. I feel like all the games are already decided before 15 minutes.

Also, it seems like my MMR somehow is rated above gold (silver one ATM). I get 35 lp per win and I lose 12 LP per loss. I've never been higher than gold 4 on this account. Gaining 35 lp per win is nice but I don't win many games as I keep getting placed in games with diamond players. This makes no sense and its really frustrating because I always seem to be the weak link.

So my question is: How did this happen? How does it come that I get matched with plat/diamond players? I guess I will eventually get back to my own MMR but I don't want to lose like 70% of games before i'm back at my own elo/MMR*[slayer-jinx-unamused]* .

Thanks. item 2009 Thresh

Your MMR is the old Elo system LOL used a long time ago They still use it it's just hidden Your MMR decides if you win 15 lose 25 or win 25 lose 15 based on your Rank If your MMR is higher than you Current Rank then your LP wins and losses will reflect that

And it's decided by your win ratio at 50%+ win rate you should be winning more than 20 lp a game and losing about the same win/loss streaks influence it harder so you might see some higher lp losses after an 8 game loss streak but these streaks equalize through amounts of games so you should just focus on having a positive win ratio and not care about your rank because your Rank will follow your win ratio

How detailed of a response about MMR do you want? Like are you curious about history and learning about the system, the impact of Arpad Elo's work and the ways its adapted to other systems?

Or just want a guess for your accounts current MMR? (looks like your MMR is at about G4-G3. Most the Plats in your games I checked averaged g3-g1)

And a quick correction here that I see 0 diamonds in your ranked games and the plats are pretty infrequent over being a constant factor.

MMR is fucked this season from the anal ravishing positional ranks then positional MMRs gave it. I recommend keeping your MMR this high by avoiding playing ranked without duo to guarentee wins / climbs
