Possible MMR/LP reset bug? [Gameplay] [Ranked]

I understand that LP gains and losses are determined by MMR that changes, but as of the Evelyn update patch my MMR has been changing on a game to game basis. It would appear (by my LP gains/losses) that my MMR is resetting after every single game. For Example:

game1: win 15 LP game 2: lose 22 LP game 3: win 17 LP game 4: lose 25 LP

Due to this I have lost LP overall while maintaining a positive win rate over the last 10 games. I am not sure if this is a bug or if it is intended? (Link to screenshot of match history to show positive win rate, don't know how to show LP gain/loss trends : https://prnt.sc/gw90co )

Not a bug. You're playing above your MMR, so the system gives a bigger negative on losses. This either makes you settle where your MMR should be, or makes sure you actually climb if you deserve it, instead of just needing a few lucky wins to keep ranking up.
