Riot Games use the matchmaking rating (MMR) to show a gamer’s level of skill in League of Legends, with a summoner’s MMR being derived from how well they perform in the game.
Even though the specifics of this calculation are not made known to the public, there are some ways you can check your MMR online and, depending on how high or low it is, some ways to improve it.
it’s been made clear over the years that those who present consistency in their wins are the ones who see their MMR constantly increasing.
In this article, we have all the answers you need as to how you can check your MMR and how to figure out how high or low it is.
So, if you want to see how you rank and how you can work on bettering your number, keep reading below!
Can I Check My MMR?
A League of Legends player cannot check their MMR within the League client.
However, there are several unofficial websites with MMR calculators that can provide you with a rough estimate of your MMR.
A great example is this website called WhatIsMyMMR where you can check your MMR by simply writing your League Of Legends name.
With 95% accuracy, this website can provide you with your MMR number ±100, which means that whatever number you get, your MMR could be anything from 100 points higher or lower than that.
How Does The League Of Legends Point System Work?
Standard-ranked games award League Points (LP), which enable players to determine their rank, that is whether they are in the Silver rank, the Gold one, and so on.
When a ranked match ends, the players who won it receive a certain number of LP points.
As a result, knowing in which League you are in by how many points you have is an easy way to get an estimate of where your MMR stands.
These points can also change your MMR when you are in a ranked game as those with high MMRs will get more points than those with fewer points.
So, as you can tell, having a high MMR is important even when playing in ranked games.
Which MMR Is Considered High And Which Low?
Once a player wins in a ranked game, they are instantly rewarded with League Points, and how many points they get depends on their MMR.
The figures below aren’t official or completely accurate, but they provide you with an overview of where you stand:
If you have more than 25 League Points, that means that the other players’ MMRs are lower than yours, and you can almost certainly skip a division.
If you have 15 to 20 League Points, that means you are in the average line in comparison to other players who might have an MMR higher or lower than yours. This is referred to as the ‘normal MMR.’
If you have less than 15 League Points, that means the other players in the League have a higher MMR than you do.
If your MMR is low and you have less than 15 League Points, that is an indication you should work on improving to then start receiving more Points.
How To Improve My MMR In League Of Legends
Go For An Undefeated Run
Going for several wins in a row is critical for improving your MMR because the more consecutive wins you get, the higher your MMR will be.
So, if you see that it’s a good day for you, keep playing strong. On the other hand, if you see that you’ve lost a couple of games, it’s best to call it quits for the day.
Dodge Games You Won’t Win
When you see that you’re playing a game you’re not going to win, dodging it is probably best if you want to keep improving your MMR.
Of course, doing that for all games is not ideal, but when you see that you’re playing with people whose stats are low or you see that they don’t really care about the win, it’s best to leave them.
Team Up With Someone Who Has A High MMR
When, for example, you are Diamond ranked and playing against Diamond players, they obviously have a better MMR.
So teaming up with someone with a higher MMR than yours can help you optimize the average MMR for your team and end up giving you more League Points for your wins and less for your losses.
The Bottom Line
While there is no official site or Riot Games page where you can check your MMR, there are many unofficial calculators like WhatIsMyMMR offering that option.
So, once you find your MMR, depending on how high or low it is, you can always work on improving it by following the tips in this article!
My name is Ashley Newby and I want to put integrity back into esports and get the hype surrounding them paramount once more. During my teenage years, I happened to stumble across a Street Fighter tournament online and I was hooked.
From that day, I have kept up with and watched many tournaments including Valorant, Super Smash Bros, and League of Legends. I even got to compete in my first one earlier this year!
