Above is the link to the post-game lobby with stats and all. I just played my first game in Diamond and it was a win. I got +13 after going on a 6-game winning streak to promos, losing 2 in promos then I won 3 games and got promoted to Diamond and now I'm getting these LP gains? Does anyone know why I am getting these insanely low LP gains and what I can do to "fix" my MMR? Best regards FlyingDarkness

Its the same for all . Just riot don't want to make climbing above diamond easy . It's really hard and nasty . They should improve and make at least losing LP not that much . 20 lp on defeat thats alot so the game unplayable . It just become a grinding game .

Entering diamond always gave you a huge MMR penalty and dropped your LP gains at first. Usually it got solved by just playing a bunch of games in diamond without losing more than 50% i think this season it's harsher because of riots fuckup earlier.

Your opponents likely have very low mmr for diamond thus giving you low lp gain

This is normal for low diamond this season. I get about 14 lp a win.

In response to you all, I submitted a ticket to Riot Support to get further information on the matter and this is their response for anyone interested: https://gyazo.com/6528a76f7f83ec4ae592bec8e37c47c3 https://gyazo.com/7616f44530ff515a4c7bbffd02d12b93

TL;DR: The LP gains will fix itself and even out the LP gains, which means one's MMR can be improved after promoting to Diamond IV once again.

Thank you all for the answers!
