15-20 LP per win is "normal", if there is such a thing.

Exactly this. Although 10-20 in my view is normal, below that is really low gains. Above 20 is high gains.

I'm usually in the ballpark for 18-25. I know last season I was consistently getting 23+ every game but that's probably because I was placed in Silver 4 even tho I wasn't really that good. This season I'm in b2 and my gains are smaller by around 7 points generally. I've also been better placed.

I get 11-16 a win and lose 17-25 so i feel your pain.

except im in silver with the mmr of a gold 3 at least. 62% winrate isn't usual.

Your MMR isn't based on your win rate, nor is having a higher win rate mean you have a high MMR. There are Diamond players with 50% win rates because all they play against are other diamonds. You are beating Bronze/silver/ and some gold players, your 62% win rate doesn't mean you have gold 3 MMR.

If you had Gold 3 MMR you would be getting more LP. Also take into account that you are duo queue.

18 lp is pretty average for that elo. If your MMR is high for your rank you'll get more LP. If your MMR is low for your rank you get less LP.

62% win rates aren't average.
