Apparently during my game dc problems were occurring for other people in other games. About 10 minutes ago i had a game where it took 45 minutes to end and no one had dced, but instead of getting my 20 lp i get 9 lp. . Today i've been having many bad games where i lost my promos and a lot of lp. Riot really knows how to enable my toxicity.

I just had the same happen. Won an evenly matched flex game (so the MMR says and based on flex leagues) and got +11. Saw a bunch of these posts recently too and didnt look into it since I thought it was some rare thing but had it happen to me too

LP gains and losses are based off how likely you were to win that match. The system expected you to win, so it gave you a normal amount of LP. The match where you gained 21 LP was a match that the system thought you might lose, and since you did end up winning it gave you more than usual!

but that seems super fucked up. My flex games I was getting +22 and up to +28 at one point meaning it's trying to get me to my proper ELO. Have a winrate over 50%, solo is in gold, and flex was placed bronze 1 then moving up through silver 4 now. So if it expects me to win, doesnt that mean matchmaking is piss poor when it cant give an even game? If the person who is crushing shouldnt be in that league, shouldnt they be moving up FASTER rather then SLOWER?

When loss forgiven is enabled, you get half lp gains and 0 lp losses. Loss forgiven was enabled earlier for a period, so what would have been 18 ended up being 9.
