MMR Question

MechaBeast·Oct 9, 2015·1 votes·403 views

I got placed in bronze 5(When the season started),So the system thinks that i must stay in bronze,Thats why i am getting Very low LP,I am now in silver 2,and taking per game 14-18 LP witch is sick. I want to ask you riot,Is the system change when get promoted ?,or it just look to me that i am must be in bronze ?! How MMR Really works?I read your support but you didnt say how the system know where every player should be,And how it know the real rank of each player so it gives more LP or less.

Your hidden MMR is your true rating. Matchmaking looks at your MMR and tries to find games for you using this hidden rating, not your visible rank.

High LP gains means your MMR is high for your division, and low LP gains mean your MMR is low for your division.

You gain MMR points for winning, and lose MMR points for losing.

I want to ask,If i continue winning that mean i will be gaining LP points and moving divisions,And the MMR will increase but i will stay get the same LP,Ill show you an example:- IF i am in silver 4 taking low LP,And moved to silver 3 then 2,The MMR will increase just like you said,But instead looking to me that i need to be in silver 5 it will look at me that i must be in silver 3,It will stay the same,So i will stay get the same LP over and over thats what i wanted ask. So is this true or not ??!!

mmr can increase faster than LP so i believe it should catch up to you before you can promote

if you are winning 50% of your games your matchmaking rating is at the correct spot and it will stay about the same.

to raise your mmr you need to go on a little winstreak and then win 50% from there.

mmr can change very quickly. the divisions are only about 60 mmr apart. you will gain around 20 mmr for each win. so the difference between silver 5 and bronze 5 is really only about 15 wins.
