Anyone know why i oly get 15 lp per win, i am gold 4, With a gold 3 mmr acording to op.gg, but i still get an avarge lp gain of between 15 and 18 lp, which is really fustrating when trying to Climb, beacuse of all the extra games i have to win to promote. So does anyone have an idea why i get so little lp?
BestPudgeNA3 votesBecause Riots ranking system is dumb and punishes you for improving
PhearBunny1 votesHow many ranked games have you played? And whats your win rate?

Because the amount of LP gain is partly based on the MMR of your teammates & enemies. For example, let's say you are duo'ing with someone who is Silver I. You won't gain much LP because the enemies you are facing will be some average between your duo's MMR and yours.
This same concept also applies to your solo matches. The game can't always find players at your exact MMR, you are often placed in one of these "averaged" MMR matches. For example you might be Gold IV (with higher MMR) but you might have teammates like this:
BillyBob1: Gold I BillyBob2: Gold V BillyBob3: Gold V BillyBob4: Gold IV
While the enemy looks something like this:
JoeBob1: Gold III JoeBob2: Gold III JoeBob3: Gold V JoeBob4: Gold II JoeBob5: Gold IV
Your team's cumulative MMR is higher than the enemies since you have decent / relatively high MMR, meaning the system expects you to win. Since you are expected to win, you aren't going to gain as much LP.
