So I just won a couple of games. They gave around 15 LP each, then I lost and it costed 22 lp. Why do I lose more LP then I gain per game?

Is there a way to reset my rank before the season ends, if so how?

because your matchmaking rating is low

the game says you should be a lower division so to move up you have to prove it wrong

If you lose more than you win that means you win less than 50% of your games.You need to consistently win more than 50% of your games to have positive gains.

No, there is no way to reset your rank.

Don't play ranked and you will never have to feel insulted.

It also gives you the ability to tell bronzes they are the bottom of the barrel and that You may or may not be. You have never been officially ranked so for all you know you are challenger league.

you have a hidden matchmaking rating. if your mmr is lower than your rank, riots system decides you dont belong there and you will lose more LP on losses than you gain on wins.

if you win more than 50% of your games for a while your mmr will raise and soon it will be easier to gain LP.
