League of Legends Guides

Precise explanations of the mechanics Riot doesn't document: MMR, LP gains, latency. Every guide is re-checked with each patch (currently 26.22).

LP Gains in League of Legends, Explained

Why your LP per win moves game to game, what +14 and +28 each reveal about your hidden MMR, and the only thing that actually changes the number.
