This is ridiculous

I really, really, want to get gold by the end of the season, I've been sitting on Silver for awhile, and during fall break, I planned to make it to gold. I had a little trouble, but I eventually got to 80 points, silver 1. Then, I started to only gain a maximum of 3 lp per match, going down to 2 points after I hit 90 points. Then, I went up by 1 point going from 95 points. I dident mind this too much, I understood they wanted you to play at a higher level for longer. But Riot, when I get to 99 LP, you expect, that the next time you win you go into your series right? Well, that dident happen to me. +0 LP, are you kidding me? I'm about to give up on ranked because of how much BS this is.

If you're getting 0 LP, taht means the system doesn't consider you ready to move forward.

How about playing solo, lose a game then win a game after that. Work for many people

If its taking you "years" to get to that point, maybe the system has you in the right place then.

Eh I understand your frustration but its a grind and the system in place actually works.

I grinded out of bronze, then silver and currently on my way through gold so its possible, but the way the system works is that it looks at your current MMR. Whats likely going on is that your MMR is to low, and so every win you get your MMR is raising by X amount, but your LP doesn't move because your not over the "mountain" as I call it. You're just going to keep having to play more and more, eventually you'll start gaining a lot more LP, and it won't be nearly as awful of a grind, but sometimes it may take 30+ games before you start making 5+ LP when you're at 90+ LP. Good luck, I know its frustrating, but if it makes you feel any better, everyone has to do it!
