What up with the LP system?

Ok so I've been trying to claw and fight my way out of bronze and I pay particular attention to the loss and gain of my LP which decides when you hit your series. These last couple of games I have a few losses and a few wins but here's the big F you from riot. On a loss I lose anything from 15-28 LP but when I win I only get like 9 LP WTH is this? Honestly its like saying stay bronze and troll to its player base. I want out of bronze not to be reset to almost no LP every time I lose because of something like AFKers Feeders and general trolls. I can make some pretty good plays and I know my positioning rather well but this climb seems like a pile of bull when your losing 24lp and only gaining like 8lp. Fix this riot honestly some of us are playing to try and get out of their tier and into a new one but your making it so much of a struggle it has become a chore to even get 1/2 way to promos. Its like playing raka top vs darius and we all know how that goes....

When you lose against players of much lower MMR, you lose more LP. If you win against them, you don't get much. You have to prove yourself worth a promotion by winning against those of equal or higher MMR consistently; beating up the noobs isn't proof of skill.

Then the system needs to let me go higher as every win is consistently worth only 8-10lp and shouldn't be holding me down. That causes people to lose skill and the will to continue playing rather fast.

Your MMR: ~593 Expected MMR for Bronze IV: ~900

Your MMR is very low, your LP gains will be low until you catch up to at least Bronze V MMR.

Wow so basically good luck getting anywhere good cause of so many trolls and AFKers and I mind as well get a new account and place with it probably later this season. I'm sorry but if someone is playing at a higher MMR then what it is they should be rewarded for it not punished.

No. You are a ~600MMR player playing against other ~600MMR players.

LP gains are based on the MMR of your games (~600MMR) vs your division's MMR (~850). You are not getting positive LP gains because you are playing players much lower than expected.

Winning more games than you are losing will If you can't hard carry 600MMR Bronze games, don't expect to be able to carry 1100+ games.
