How did I end up in elo hell?

I've won the massive majority of my recent games, about 90% since i hit bronze 5, and climbed from bronze 5 to bronze 3 89lp with like 5 total losses... then all of a sudden I started receiving 17 lp for wins and 19 lp for losses... what? Why is this happening?

I'm ksghook on op.gg (click on ranked solo)

It's trying to rubber band you because of how many games you won in a row. Your mmr hasn't caught up yet, so it's basically testing you now to see if you just got a lucky stream or if it can actually keep moving you up. After a few games it should flip back to +20 -19 or something like that.

I didn't think the system did that.

Why do Reds never answer the questions about how this shit works?

I mean if he's winning it should keep rewarding him with more lp and promo skips not "rubber band" bullshit.

So how many games do we need to lose to avoid rubber banding?

"Sorry chaps! I'm throwing this one! Don't wanna get hit with the ole rubber you know! what!"

How much lp were you receiving for wins/losses before during your climb? My best guess is that although you've been on a hot streak, you were on a bit of a loss streak before that. So your mmr was tanked from all of your losses, and only now after your win streak has it gotten back to average for your elo. While your last 20 games or so you've had an 80% winrate, you're still only at a 51% winrate overall in ranked.

Seriously, wtf is going on with this? It's just continuing now, I'm getting 18 for wins and 20 for losses... i was on a 90% win rate streak of 20+ games and then it just flipped my lp for no reason
