What even is the point of hidden MMR?

Like if I'm in my silver promos to gold, yet only get matched with plats/diamonds, why the hell am I getting promoted to gold or still in silver. Honestly why? What is the point?

I really can't fathom any logic behind having a hidden mmr system with divisions/leagues if you're just going to have 2 whole leagues above you as opponents/allies.

the point of hidden MMR is to give everyone a better sense of feeling and accomplishment

instead of raising from 2000 mmr to 2050, ur instead going from like plat 1 to diamond 5, etc i guess.. not really

league and mmr system should be implemented but i agree mmr shouldnt be hidden.

and pls, ppl should just call it elo again.

How do you get a better sense of feeling and accomplishment when you're like me and in silver trying to get to gold and you only play with/against platinum/diamonds. hint: IT REALLY FUCKING ISN'T GIVING ME ONE BECAUSE IM TIRED OF GETTING TROLLS FROM D5

no lolking no proof

if u really get plats and diamonds, then theoretically, it is more possible to get trolls on the other team as compared to ur team, AND u will gain significantly more LP per win than loss in silver with plat MMR

unless ur saying ur playing with plat 5 and d5 players with silver mmr, then thats an entirely different case though the statement: it is more possible to get trolls on the other team as compared to ur team, would still apply

Are the trolls "really" the reason you aren't winning games.

MMR/Elo was hidden because people didn't understand the number at all, causing misconceptions about it.

At least thats what rioters said about it. Sides nothing would change even if you could see or not that hidden number.
