Why do I get so little LP?

How much LP (League Points) you gain or lose is tied to your MMR (Match Making Rating). So generally speaking, if the match you just won was at a higher MMR than your current rank/average you are given MORE LP. Likewise, if you lose a game at higher MMR than your current rank/average you lose less LP.

How can I increase my LP gain?

Win enough, and you'll start getting bigger LP rewards to help you reach your true rank more quickly. This will continue until your wins and losses begin to even out, at which point the system determines you've hit the appropriate rank and LP gains/losses will equalize.

Why do I get less LP than my friends?

You have a 47% win ratio, i.e. you're losing more on average than you're winning. This means the game thinks you belong at the MMR where you are currently, or even possibly lower than where you are currently, which is why your lp gains are smaller than your lp losses. Solution? Start winning more games.

What determines the amount of LP you get?

You get LoL LP when you win, and you lose LP when you lose. Your “MMR,” or match-making rating, which is a secret statistic that reflects your true skill level in League of Legends, affects how much LP you get or lose.

Why am I only getting 9 LP per win?

+9 LP usually means that you are about 100 MMR too low which normalizes after about 50 games with a high winrate. As soon as you get +18 for a win your MMR is "normal". Everything below is a lower MMR and everything above is a higher MMR.

How to skip ranks in League?

If you're demonstrating a level of skill far beyond your rank, you may skip an entire division upon reaching 100 LP (for example, jumping from Silver IV to Silver II).

Do you get more LP playing with higher ranks?

League Points

The amount earned or lost depends on the player's hidden Match Making Rating (MMR) relative to their rank. The higher the player's MMR relative to their rank, the more LP earned per win and the less LP lost per loss.

What's the most LP you can gain?

The cap is technically 100. It is rare, but some people skip divisions when their hidden MMR is much higher than their current placement.

Can your MMR go up even if you lose?

How to see MMR in League of Legends?

Can I see my MMR in League of Legends? No, not in any official capacity at least.

Why am I losing more LP than gaining?

If you're losing more LP than you're gaining, it may be because you're on a losing streak. When you're on a losing streak, you're more likely to lose LP even if you perform well in your games, because the system tries to “catch up” and adjust your skill level to reflect your recent results.
