MMR still sucks

Pssssttt! I can still post here! You cannot silence me :D

Now where was I?....oh yeah.

MMR sucks....no actually the entire Ranking system sucks. To get a string of bad luck resulting in your MMR getting pounded into dust makes it a nightmare to make any sort of meaningful climb.

You won? Here have less LP than would fill a Biro pen! You lost? Here get ALL of your LP Noxian Guillotined!

For real? Why is MMR, the most important rating when it comes to the Ranked system HIDDEN!? That seems mighty counter-intuitive!

Can we not have my damn thread removed this time? THERE! I moved it to the supposed correct sub-section. You happy now moderators? There really should be a section about the system outside of gameplay and balance.

I do think its dumb that its hidden, but its not like it does any good to see it though.

MMR is fine. Losing a bunch makes it harder to climb, I don't see anything wrong with that. Win more than 50% your moving up. Lose more than 50% and you are going down.

LP is kinda superficial in some ways, especially since there are so many protections from being demoted, but as more of an average it tells you more than did you just do well recently. the same time you can judge where your MMR is in relation to your rank by looking at your LP gains.

MMR at any one point in time doesn't really paint a complete picture, but people look at it like it does. A small streak can easily put your MMR a whole division or more away from your norm. But at the end of that day your MMR is going to show that number that isn't your normal level of play.
