I'm not sure how much you've played since the last time you checked, but according to: http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=akali+prime You have a negative winrate with slightly high MMR, so you should be gaining around 20 lp or so.

My advice is to play norms, warm up, be good, and only play 2-3 ranked games a day, even if you want to climb. It stops your MMR from skyrocketing to a point where you can no longer perform well, and you can get accustomed to the skill level. Because normals have MMR, and if you play a few per day, you'll get warmed up and you'll be ready to play at that MMR, so when you go into ranked, you'll be even more ready (since usually ranked MMR is lower than norms).

Remember the loss of 5th division in each tier stacked up players in the surrounding divisions. Ranking will take some time to recover from this. Continue playing as usual, your MMR is untouched.

Warning though, in the aftermaths, even if your final GLOBAL rank will be the same as expected (like "best than X% of the total players"), your ending tier might be different. We don't know yet how the loss of 5th divisions will affect the whole players distribution.

Keep it up and your MMR should improve so you are breaking even.

You're punished for playing this game too much. People who climb faster are those who play less because they didn't tank their MMR.

Op.gg says you have over 800 games and a 48% win rate. So you probably messed up your mmr pretty bad
