The fact that I have heard this from gold plat and diamond players and silver as well, you win a match gain 5-20 lp. 20 lp If you are lucky, but lose you're next match and it takes 15-20 lp away,.

i won 18 lp and then the very next game i lost so i lose 18 lp, that is completely bad. that makes it 100% difficult to even go up ranks, specially if you have people who dc and troll which they do and there is no compusation for that. Going in duo que most of the time gives you 15-20 lp but go in solo you only gain 10 and still lose 15-20 lp if you lose the next match, meaning you have to win 2 games in a row to even keep any lp. sometimes it takes 2 matches to get 20 lp then you lose 1 match and LOSE it all. I think that ranked needs to be looked at again, i don't know if it is messing up or if you guys don't care but i believe it is very unfair.

If you continue going .500 you will begin to see an increase in gains and a decrease in losses over time. Right now the system thinks you don't belong in the elo you are in, which is why you aren't experiencing a net gain in LP even if you go .500. Of course, every match is different so you will gain and lose different amounts each time. But the trend will continue upwards once your current tier matches your current mmr.

The system isn't bugged. It's designed to allow you to climb by winning half (or more, depending on the tier) of your games. But you can't begin to climb until your mmr catches up to your tier, which will only happen from continuing to play.
