Why League of Legends Uses the MMR System
League of Legends is a MOBA game that uses the MMR system to make matches fair and balanced for all players, which means, through this system, newbies will face newbies in matches and professional players will face professional players in matches. Which makes the matches highly enjoyable, equal and, playable for all of the players.
But how does it make the matches fair? The answer is that League of Legends combines the same skilled and MMR players during Matchmaking through this system for a playable experience, if your MMR is 2000 you will face the opponents of 2000 or similar MMR.
Note that the MMR system is used not only to improve matchmaking but also for other reasons. Let’s learn about them below:
As we know, League of Legends is a big and old game that has a huge number of players. It is not an easy task for League of Legends to assign the right spot for all players on the ladder, so for this task, MMR helps them represent the ranked tier and division of the players in the form of a rating, which means that MMR is the overall summary of your current tier and division. If your ranked tier and division are high, your MMR will be high too.
Why Tool Is Not Showing MMR
There are two issues that some of the players face while checking their account ratings, the first one is “Unable to Calculate” and the second one is “Unranked”.
Unranked: The tool is showing unranked because you are not ranked yet. This is not an issue; you should improve your ranking in League of Legends. After that, the tool will show you your MMR.
Unable to calculate: the tool will show you unable to calculate if you have entered the input details incorrectly, here is the correct method to enter the input details correctly:
How We Calculate MMR
We estimate the players’ MMR by looking at their match history to learn about their opponents’ skill level factors and ranks.
We also analyze, the win/lose ratio, and how much LP the player has lost and gained, win-lose streaks for MMR calculations.
These factors help us to know about your skill level and your opponent’s skill level and yes it also helps us to make our tracker more accurate and precise, after the whole process, we estimate your rating with over 95% accuracy.
How To Identify Good And Bad MMR
MMR is hidden, but yes, you can use tools to get an idea about your score whether it is good or bad.
You can also get an idea by analyzing your matches. There are 2 factors that you should analyze, the first one is Rank and the second factor is LP gain and loss.
If your opponents have higher Ranks than yours and you are also gaining a good number of LP, then congrats, it is a good sign, it means that your MMR might be good.
On the other hand, if your opponents have lower Ranks than yours and you are also gaining less LP, then you should focus on improving your MMR because it might not be at a good stage.
Why MMR Does Not Increase After Winning Match
Winning one match is not enough to increase MMR. There are multiple factors that we consider while calculating the players’ MMR, such as victories, defeats, performance, winning streaks, losing streaks, win ratio, lose ratio, and more. These factors help us to understand your skill level more accurately.
We look at many different factors, such as how you performed, how many matches you have won and lost in a row, and many other factors. Therefore, one match is not enough for us to understand your skill level more effectively.
Does Dodging Affect League MMR
Dodging is the act of leaving the game during champion selection. The good news is that it does not affect your MMR. But according to Riot Games, you will face time and LP penalties, which are mentioned in an official image below.
With a time penalty, Riot Games will not let you play the fresh match for a specific time. After that, you can play and enjoy the game.
Dodging is not a good idea from the penalties perspective, but it can be good if you are uncomfortable with the team composition.
Another penalty is the LP loss, which is only in the Solo/Duo and Flex Ranked Queues.
How MMR, LP & Rank Progress Together
LP, MMR, and Rank help the game determine the right spot for each player on the ladder.
Here is how!
Your MMR will be equal to Rank if you are losing and gaining the same number of LP.
Your MMR will be greater than your rank if you gain more and lose less LP.
Your MMR will be less than your Rank if you are gaining less, and losing more LP.
Note that this information is based on the official information of Riot Games so you can easily trust it.
