If you have skipped a tier before, leave some information here!

I'm looking for a little data so I can more reliably determine when I may skip a tier, as I seem to be a lot in the past few seasons.

Around how much LP were you gaining per win?

Around how much LP were you losing per loss?

Around how many matches did you have played at the time?

Was it near the beginning or the end of the season?

Was it due to ranked decay, or hard climbing?

What division were you?

What tier were you?

How many promo series did you go through before you stopped skipping tiers?

Which season was it?

LP gain ~27+

LP loss ~15-

Less than 100 games played

End of season; first time I started skipping was due to ranked decay. Was not during season 6 or 7.

I was Silver 5 at the time; skipped to 3, then to 1. After from G5 to G3.

Decayed from silver 2 placement before season 6.

Stopped at gold 3; did not continue to climb. Season 6, skipped from gold 3 to gold 1; supposedly would have skipped from plat 5 to plat 3.

LP gain: 19-24 LP loss: don't know :P when I skip tiers I'm normally on a winstreak. Matches: about like 5, 6, 7ish. I've skipped tiers multiple times at different times. Just hard climbing. It's normally when I'm placed in bronze or silver and any division I can skip divisions I haven't skipped any divisions in gold. Can't remember my promos but it normally stopped when I got to silver 1 or gold. Season 6 and preseason 7.

Dunno LP gain or loss

50- games played

Mid-season 5

Decayed twice from high S1 to S2. Afterwards I got back up to S1 normally. Skipped both G5 and G4. Still had substantial LP gain (20-25) right up to G1 but no further skipping.

I think i only needed one prome series after i got to S1 again, but not sure.

LP Gain: 21-29 LP Loss: ~13 Matches: Usually on a winning streak when skipping tiers, so around 5 to 7 per tier, 15-21 games per division Time Period: Around the middle of the season, nearer to the end than the start. Cause: High MMR, I suppose. Technically hard climbing since I didn't decay. Division: I can usually skip divisions for anything below Plat. Tiers: Last Season, I went from getting placed in Plat 5 > Plat 4 > Plat 2 > Plat 1 > Dia 5 > Dia 3. Didn't get to skip divisions past that.

I've skipped tiers twice that I can remember. Once is season 3, and the second in season 4 or later.

I was gaining 22-23+

Loosing 14 or less.

Couldn't recall how many matches i had at the time.

Both times were fairly early in the season.

Hard climbing. First time I climbed from Silver 4 right up to Gold, skipping silver 2 and Gold 4 along the way. Eventually making it to diamond before falling back to play. Second time I skipped plat 4 after placing gold 1, climbing up to plat 1. I always won my promos the first time around with minimal loss.
