Climbing ranked issue

Elderfood·Oct 16, 2016·1 votes·320 views

Hey Guys, With season winding down, i have been putting a lot of time into ranked as i'm sure you all have as well to earn those prestigious spots. So, over the last week or so, I've climbed from s4 to s1, and am looking to push for gold. The issue is, for whatever reason, even though I've been climbing consistently, winning around 70% of my games. It seems as if my mmr isn't raising at the same speed. Currently winning 17 lp average, and losing 23 lp average. Anyone know the reasoning for this, kind of seems like a downside/punishment for climbing too fast? Thoughts?

From what i see ( as if i could talk, i went on a huge losing spree, i was 53% win rate, now 50%, was gold 1, now gold 4, ouch).

You go on winning sprees, to losing sprees, you are literally 50-49 ratio. You are only one game over your losses.

You need to win like 6 more in a row, lose 1-2, then win 3-5 in a row, and only lose 2-3, and keep going to keep your win rate up, otherwise your LP wont change.

Also a big difference is if your are Duo/Premade or not. If you even duo with someone whos higher than you once, right now, at your elo and win rate, itll hurt you more in the long run. Solo Q is the best option.

Im currently gaining 18-21 lp with losing 12-15 at a time.

Also with a name like that, thats the most call of duty name i have ever seen, it would tilt me just looking at it.

LOL gotta love the original xbox names that transfer over into your other games hey? and are you saying mmr is somewhat based off your win/lose ratio? i know at the beginning of season i somewhat tanked and dropped to about 40% win rate. so now i've raised it to about 50%. kinda shitty that it takes the beginning of season losses somewhat into effect for my better play recently.

The more and "better" you play, the system will think you dont belong where you are, and will grant you more LP.

When i started this season, i bombed my placements (just a shit fest with AFKs), i ended up Silver 3, i was gold 2 last season, made it to plat 5 in the preseason (QQ no rewards), i was able to skip Silver 2, and end up in silver 1, went knee deep in the mud and got to gold 5 in like 30 games, then after that, 150 games later, still gold 4-2 area.

The more you win, and the more often you win, while not losing, the more lp you will get.

Its a good rule to just only plan on playing 3 games, if you lose 2, dont play your third, take a couple hour break. If you lose, win, lose, try the next game, if its another lose, dont play, just take a break.

You also need to learn when you need to dodge, its better to lose 3 lp and not take any MMR loss from dodging a bad game, vs losing 20 lp and mmr.

A good example of a bad game is when the prelobby is already toxic, all premades, or if your team, vs their team looks like this.

(first is your team, second is theirs).

Mid: Ezreal vs Leblanc Top: Ivern vs Darius Bot: Varus Nunu vs Ashe Thresh Jung: Twitch vs LeeSin

Just unbalanced teams, vs stacked balanced teams who have the damage, tank, and cc to outplay you in every department.

it's not shitty its fair.

you proved that you didn't belong where you were. You may have been Silver 4 but your MMR was probably more of a bronze 3-2 if your winrate was 40%.

I get about 21-23 LP per win and lose about 16-18 for a loss the win% isn't what matters too much its the number of games over or under 50% for exmaple i have 22 games over 50% but overall i have 676 games played having only a 51.6% winrate. You were recovering from a game deficit it only makes sense that the LP system works in reverse
