The punishing loss of LP

I'm curious as to why the loss of LP from losing a match is so much greater than what one gets after winning. Sometimes by 2x! Seems a bit unbalanced and almost futile for some because of how the matchmaking system "works." So why the big discrepancy? Why not keep it all equal? With the highest rated players averaging around a 55% winrate, it doesn't seem like anyone stands to benefit from making the LP losses/gains equivalent.

Food for thought TahmKench

it's your mmr, it's low. I get it the other way around since my mmr is high. your mmr is basically saying that you should be lower and to prove otherwise, stay at your current point or climb.
