Question about MMR and LP gain

Zoulzopan·11/4/2015, 8:24:09 AM·1 votes·426 views

so I am trying to climb the ladder before the season ends. I just got into silver 2 but for some reason my LP gain per win is now lower than my LP loss it wasn't like this before I used to get 20+ LP and lose like 13.

http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=Zoulzopan I linked my profile in op.gg

is there something I am doing wrong? I don't understand why it changed so drastically. How is the MMR calculated and LP gain calculated?

If you rank up too fast your MMR is unable to catch up and you'll pass it, making you have MMR lower than the division average. If you can stay in that division it will even out, otherwise you'll drop back down until your wins reflect where you are.

Your LP gains can also fluctuate just between matches due to the perceived difficulty of the match (your team's average MMR compared to the enemy's, and which side of the map you're on too). Whatever happens, just expect your LP gains to even out overall at some point, and that will indicate the system thinks you probably belong where you're at.

I made an LP calculation in game recently in http://lol-mmr.com . You can try it on the ingame feature just like in lol-nexus. Might help you figure out you LP prior to your games starting.
