How to you increase your mmr? I thought the bigger your winrate, the higher your mmr. Am i wrong?

consistently have a positive winrate. If your lp gains are low that means you are matched with people lower ranked than you (your mmr is low for your division)

If you maintain about a 53% winrate your MMR will climb up to your division and then your lp gains will increase as well. if you maintain a 60% winrate it will jump even faster. They have it increase at a slower rate though to avoid momentum swings plummeting you too low or getting you too high. Essentially you have to prove the system wrong on where it thinks you belong consistently.

The reason is probably that your winrate is below 50% atm. Generally, the higher your win rate, the more LP's you gain.

MMR resets after each preaseason right?

Not a full reset. There's a 'soft reset', which seems to push everyone down a certain amount and then draw them towards the middle, so that nobody is at challenger MMR anymore. It seems like pretty much everyone gold and above goes down in MMR, bronze goes up a little, and silver doesn't move. The exact formulas aren't shared though, and also, soft resets have only been done twice I believe (before that it was a hard reset to the exact same number for MMR or ELO). There's no guarantee the formula was the same during both soft resets, or that it won't change next season. (There might even be a return to hard resets, but probably not.)

yes in a way but the system still takes into account how well you placed the season before most people ive heard from say you'll have your last season mmr + you preseason mmr and then divided by another value, which most said that it will bring you a tier below what you made last season so if your gold you would technically have silver starting mmr and if you were bronze you wont move a lot you could probably move up more if you did well in preseason and placements.

If that's true then they didn't do a soft reset for the start of this season because I placed two divisions higher than my previous season end. I should note also that I managed to go from Gold IV(which was where I ended last season) to Gold 3 in the preseason. This season I placed Gold II.

it soft resets. It use to be (1200 which is roughly silver 5 + your MMR)/2. But the soft reset is not as bad. I don't know the formula for it though.

Division 5s are tricky. At Bronze 5 it is possible your MMR was as bad as what would be Bronze 9 if such a thing existed. Now that you climbed to Bronze 4 it shouldn't be as bad.
