The lp system is whack.

Ok, so first off i want to say that my mmr is normal for my rank. So when i play a ranked game i get 16-17 lp a game which is fine i guess but i was getting like 33 in gold, but that's besides the point, but when i lose a game i lose 22 lp, thats more than what i get for a game, so if i was to win about 75% of my games i would still get fucked over because i'm losing 5 more lp then i usually win. Can someone please explain to me why this is because i think its ridiculous like i want to get to plat 1 but not with this lp gain/loss ratio.

LP system is working when it gives you 33 but it's obviously broken when you're losing more than you win?

You're getting your MMR from a third party site too, and they don't have your real MMR. Only Riot does. If your MMR was actually average you wouldn't be losing more than you gain, so that means it's a little low.

You're winning less LP than you lose because your hidden MMR is below your current visible tier/divison/LP rank.
