Higher MMR = less LP?

DBS Ronovon··0 votes·300 views

Been getting 21+ LP per win because my MMR is higher than average. May last match I earned 20LP and I have not lost for a while. Why did my LP gain become less if I am winning? I know I have been told by Riot employees and support, that my LP gain will increase if my MMR is higher! Do I need to submit a ticket to fix this issue? ??? [sg-shisa]

you were probably matched against a team that you were slightly more likely to win against

But my MMR is only going up, so how did that happen? Why is this system so confusing? Did Riot answer my complaints and finally tweak my MMR to get good players on my team so I can actually carry games?

...I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, it's not that complicated. Instead of a 50-50 the system probably had it rated as a 51-49 in your favor. The team mmr for you was 1500 and theirs was 1450 or something...it's not that complicated

or, as Unker said, you're approaching your mmr range

it is complicated, why have "Team" MMR instead of individual MMR ratings on teams? Its so unbalanced.

Team MMR is the average of all of your team member's individual mmr. So your team probably had a slightly higher team mmr which means you were slightly more likely to win, which means you got slightly less LP for that win.

What about that confuses you?

Everything. Why is there a team MMR, and not just an individual MMR? Why is MMR a secret? Why match teams with uneven MMR? It all is confusing and doesn't make any sense to me.

How does averaging the total mmr of each teammate to make a team's mmr confuse you? MMR is a secret so that people don't know specific things to do to inflate it. Because even though League is a popular game, that's an impossible task to ask of a system. Making teams with exact equal mmr is beyond difficult.

I'm honestly baffled that you can't understand this haha

I'm baffled at what you are talking about. MMR is a secret and you know the reason why? Inflate how? How is the task impossible, and how would YOU know that? How is making equal teams beyond difficult? They make unequal teams pretty easily, they do it all the time when I play!

Alright you're straight trolling at this point, there's no way someone is this dumb. Have a good day

If the LP gains are going down then your rank is getting closer to your MMR.

If my Rank is going up, shouldn't my MMR also go up with a bunch of wins?

MMR is an approximation based on a site's own definition of MMR. no one actually knows what riot's MMR system actually takes into account under the hood. op.gg MMR might be on the dot or a full tier off

Thanks for the info.
