elo hell

Because your MMR is in the toilet typically. If your MMR is low or equivalent to your league, you don't gain as much. I was playing games last night getting 31 LP for victories and losing something like 15-20 on a loss, but at the time my MMR was considered so high for my league that I would skip a division.

Big Bronze Bucket 'O Crabs > HAHAHA > circular thinking fallacy, AGAIN. They say it's based on TEAMWORK, but then when your team sucks and you lose it's ALL on YOU. So it's not really a team game, it's a game about carrying "League Of HNNGGG"-tards every match. It's turned into a F2P babysitting game, with the addition of thousands of people who avoided the event horizon of the black hole that is ranked bronze, and hundreds of thousands who were sucked in by that selfsame deadly singularity. It's NOT a MULTIPLAYER online battle arena, it's a chaotic ancient roman circus maximus, with the lowest of us thrown to the lions, metaphorically speaking, who are our lowly peers. We who are about to die abhor you.
