I gain 17 and lose 28
I’m experiencing the agonizing pain of negative LP gain. It’s like trying to climb a mountain of molasses, every step forward met with two steps back.
The system doesn’t believe in you. It’s a struggle that often goes unseen, a silent torment that weights heavily on my heart.
You gain 17 and lose 28 because your visual rank is inflated and your mmr is way below that.
Thus the system tries to bring you down with bad Lp gains to your normal elo which is 300-400lp below your visual rank if I had to take a guess.
That is your answer pretty much. You can only fix this by improving and becoming the player that your rank says you are.
I was having an insane winstreak with Seraphine, but one day i started getting trolls for 15 games in a row. I got demoted and now i am stuck.
