Ranked MMR System

Hi, so when I first played ranked this season I won 8 out of 10. I got S's in 7 of the games, carrying pretty hard. To my surprise when I was ranked I was Bronze 5. So my first question is how did I get ranked in bronze 5 when winning so hard and carrying. My second question is I had a really successful win rate and was moving up reasonably fast. I got out of bronze within a couple weeks. Then I started playing in silver and noticed that when I win i get only 14-16 LP and when I lose I lose a lot more around 20-25 LP. When I asked reddit regarding it they said its because I suck and need a higher mmr. My only issue with that is, I normally win mid and do the most damage on the team and have somewhere in top 3 K/D/A and CS. So how do I improve an invisible mmr. So my solution is we just remove this "invisible mmr".

It IS invisible. Those websites only approximate your MMR based on what is in essence an educated guess. It is unknown what variables are actually taken into account, or how they're manipulated when measuring ranked MMR.

They "approximate" based on values done from thousands of people who play. Each site may differ but it still has basis. Na.op.gg will give averages for similiar "mmr/elo-per division"

You improve it simply by winning more games than you lose. Your KDA/Grade are completely irrelevant. Theoretically you could go 0/20 every single game but if you were carried your MMR would still increase.

Not true, I have a good win rate and i would need to have a 65% win rate to get promoted

Not true. You are simply versing "inferior foes" therefore earning less. Let the elo settle

So how the hell do i get out of silver. In order to get out of Silver 4 I had to win 10 in a row...
