Lower lp gains in diamond+?

So I was getting like +24 lp gains when I was plat 3. Fast forward, no big losing streaks or nothing, my mmr appears normal-- pretty evenly matched games with people on both teams ~2000 mmr, and i just got +15 lp for a win in diamond 5.

Is this like a thing that happens usually in diamond+??

I've watched streams of people playing diamond and master games and they usually get like 17-20 or so. Tarzaned had a 53-1 account playing in diamond 2 and he only got +24. Just wondering to those experienced playing in diamond. Is it normal?

u get high LP gains only if your mmr is higher than rest of the players in league u r in(system is trying to push u where u r supposed to be if u keep winning). The more u get close to your ideal mmr the less u will gain LP until your MMR rises again. also depends on oponnents mmr and shit. exact equation for the calculation is known only by rito tho.

Unless you have really high w/r dont expect normal lp gains in low diamond. If you manage to get out of 5 without dropping to 50% w/r it will even out back to 20+.
Also no lp gains dont change its mmr based i've gotten 30lp in d2 elo with a 60% winrate. Mmr also changes depending on the people you play with one game you might play vs ppl of higher mmr beat them and get 23 next one you might win again but if the people have lower mmr you might get 20
