TheOneRokutis on EUW.
I am going on win streaks non stop. I win 5, lose 1 then go and win 5 again.
So my gains pre Emerald were +24 -25 or something like that.
I get to Emerald. I'm getting +17 -29
Like, how is this even fair. Like I am just forced to start a new account, because for some reason I am just blocked from climbing. What would happen if I got to diamond? +4 -40?

Skill issue is you playing on EUNE

full lark
#

Your rank has outpaced your MMR, keep on winning and the MMR will eventually catch up.

#

also for whatever reason, once you hit diamond your lp gains improve by quite alot

now I have 18 wins out of 22 but im still getting 20

If you somehow keep like 70% WR, no not really, but losing isn't helping you either, the system will eventually get you to where your WR is reasonably close to 50%.

Bascially your LP gains are biased by the difference between your rank and your MMR to try and pull your rank towards your MMR (MMR is moved only by wins and losses, and goes up for wins, down for losses, it is somewhat effected by average MMR of the lobby and MMR averages of each team, so winning a stacked game isn't as useful and beating a stacked enemy team to your MMR, but all wins will increase it and likewise all losses will decrease it).

Yea I guess

#

Won again still 20 xd

#

Yea, your MMR is shooting up with all the winning you've been doing, but so has your LP (at least as fast)

#

Looking forward to when it finally says +21 atleast i'll know it's starting to turn

#

based on how well your wining is going, if this isn't a lucky streak, I think reaching Masters is very likely

trim frigate
#

I've played well everygame besides 1 that my mid solo carried on

full lark
#

Yea, that makes me think masters+ is in your future

trim frigate
#

But I don't mind that I keep winning it's just a slow climb to maters

full lark
#

yea, Diamond+ is like top 5% of ranked playerbase

trim frigate
#

It's a huge difference between D4 and D3+

full lark
#

yea D4 is a lot of that top 3%

trim frigate
#

that's where the ranked grind end for most of the players

full lark
#

yea, Diamond is a lot more obtainable goal for very good players of the game

#

Yea that sounds about right

#

people don't realize that half of the ranked playerbase is <Gold or thereabouts.

#

yea Silver 1 has 50th percentile now it looks like
Edit: for flex, for soloqueue it's in G4 atm.

#

(was approx. S2/S3 line before they added Emerald this split).

#

like Gold players are above average LoL players

#

This said, for competetive games in general, most people suck at them, so good in what most people would consider absolute terms is usually a much higher standard than 50th percentile of playerbase.

#

I mean, SC2 is a more extreme than LoL in that GM is like top 1% of playerbase and the difference between a 5k MMR (top 200) player and a 7k MMR (top pro) is so extreme that the pro will win like 90%+ of games played between them

#

like a top 200 SC2 player almost can't take even a single game off of a pro

#

I WON

#

I GOT +19 XDDDDDDDDDDDD

trim frigate
#

Finally +23 it's starting to move again

#

Im sorry im dumb, what is mmr, and why does it exist? It just seems like it ruins peoples accounts.

MMR is matchmaking rating, it is how the game determines your skill level and decides who to match you up against (people of similar MMR)
