Let’s discuss in more in-depth about how much MMR is considered low, average, and high in League of Legends.

Low MMR In League Of Legends

League of Legends MMR is hidden and only visible to those who have developed it, but there are a good number of free and third-party tools that show the player’s MMR based on multiple factors.

Based on third-party tools, if your MMR is less than 1000 it will be considered as a low MMR in League of Legends, which means that you will face the opponents of the same or around 1000 MMR during Matchmaking.

But this is not always guaranteed, there are more factors that League of Legends consider while matching players during Matchmaking. 

How Can I Check My MMR Is Low?

You can easily check it through the tools that show the MMR data with 95% + accuracy. 

Step 1:  Visit lolmmr.com. 

Step 2:  Enter the Game Name + Tagline and select your region. 

Step 3:  Click on “Check”. 

It will show your MMR, if it shows that it is less than 1000 it means that your MMR falls in the low category and needs improvements. 

You can also judge your matchmaking rating by looking at your LP gain and loss. If you are losing more LP it means that your MMR is low. 

Why Is My MMR Low?

There could be some reasons behind your Low MMR. 

New Account: You might have a new account. New accounts do not have enough match history, no record of winning and losing streaks, and more, so it might be the reason for your low MMR. 

Tip: If you have access to the Ranked matches, it is recommended to play with high MMR teammates, and win the matches, your MMR will go up. 

Weak opponents: You might have competed with lower MMR and less-skilled opponents. This is because when you beat strong opponents, the system judges you as a more skilled player and when you beat a weak opponent, the system judges you accordingly and also assigns MMR accordingly.

Performance: You might not perform well individually in games. Your game performance helps the MMR system to determine your skills. So you should perform well to see a jump in your MMR. 

Note: Multiple more factors influence MMR. 

Average MMR In League Of Legends

A Matchmaking Rating (MMR) that is more than 1500 is considered an average MMR in LoL, which means that you will get the same or around 1500 MMR opponents during the matchmaking process.  

Note that each game mode has a different MMR as, if your MMR is 1500 in Ranked, your ARAM MMR will be different, and even Ranked games do not affect ARAM and Normal Games MMR.

How Do You Know If Your MMR Is Average?

As we mentioned above, you can use any of the third-party tools to check your MMR. 

If your MMR is around 1500 and less than 2000, your MMR is average and can be improved further.

Let’s discuss, how to get out of average MMR.

Average MMR To High MMR

You can increase MMR from average to high by winning multiple matches in a row or your winning ratio should be more than your losing ratio. 

Another factor is to play with a teammate whose MMR is more than yours because playing with high MMR teammates will bring tough-to-compete opponents, after performing well against high MMR opponents, it is expected that your MMR will increase more than before. 

Note: These are not just the factors that can help you improve your MMR, your teammate’s MMR, your opponent’s MMR, and more factors also matter the most. 

High MMR In League Of Legends 

MMR which is more than 2000 is considered a good and high MMR in League of Legends, Which means that you will be competing with highly skilled players during matches. 

But keep in mind that maintaining a high MMR may be challenging because you will face hard-to-beat competition and opponents. So let’s discuss how to maintain MMR.

How To Maintain A High MMR

Based on our experience and research here are some of the factors to maintain your high MMR in League of Legends. 

Performance: Always focus on your in-game individual performance and try your best to perform better. 

Don’t lose the matches: Always try to win the matches because this is an official revealed factor.

High MMR teammates: Play with high MMR teammates to face tough competition, as a result, your MMR increase per win will be high as compared to playing with lower MMR players.
