So i'm in silver 3 and whenever I win i gain 18 LP but when I lose LP I lose 20? OP.GG says my MMR is above average and I'm just confused as to why I lose more LP than gain.

Because your MMR is below where you are. Op.gg isnt accurate.

Losses count for more than wins in terms of MMR. 1 loss is about the equivalent of 3 wins.

You're getting close to entering a state of fluctuation. If you keep losing too many games you'll start to see lower returns in LP. If you manage to consistently win more you should return back to gaining more than you lose.

Its Riot REALLY BADLY DESIGNED MMR system. It was good in theory but fell short in the real world.

I feel you. Currently I'm getting 19 LP for a win and -21 for a loss. I had a string of losses when I got into S2 and I haven't recovered yet.
