Hello community, I keep hearing about hidden matchmaking rating in LoL. How do people usually check it?

Hi! The best way I’ve found is through the league of legends mmr checker from AgataSmurf. Riot keeps the formula secret, but tools like this give you a reliable estimate by studying your recent match data. I found it especially helpful to understand why sometimes I gain fewer LP than expected or face stronger opponents. The tool makes sense of it by showing that my hidden MMR might be below or above my current rank. It also explains how focusing on objectives, playing fewer champions, and staying consistent can push that rating up. For me, it’s less about obsessing over numbers and more about getting a clear picture of progress. It really takes some of the guesswork out of ranked play.
