Why is this happening to me?

In ranked, I lose 24 LP and only gain 13 LP. My mmr seems to be low... but not that low. Also, why is my mmr low in the first place?

the ranking system is bugged as riot is switching to the "new tech."
they're claiming that weird LP losses are an effect of getting placed higher than what your MMR deserves, but I'm pretty sure that's just them covering their ass for screwing up.
edit: this thread talks a bit about it
Issue: Some players are experiencing low LP gains and/or high LP losses.
When we added Iron and Grandmaster, we bumped many players up from Division V to IV, which affected LP gains. We also experienced a glitch where some players saw a dramatic increase in LP gains, allowing them to get a couple divisions above where they should be based on their skill. We corrected this, so it’s not happening to anyone else. But since some players now have an inflated rank, they’re seeing larger LP losses and smaller gains than they usually do.
On a related note, later today we’re planning to switch Ranked over to newer tech we’ve been using in other queues to prepare for position ranks next year. When we do that, some additional players may experience unexpected changes to their LP gains and losses.
"But since some players now have an inflated rank, they're seeing larger LP losses and smaller gains than they usually do"
that's how they're addressing people who are gaining 14 per game and losing 20+ lol.
Unfortunately, the changes to ranked means that everything is super fucky.
in the second game you played against 1 Iron I guy and 1 Unranked and 1 Bronze 4 which means your team even if was full of silvers had low mmr and Weirdest thing is when I click on your solo mmr it says Iron 4 for some reason [zombie-brand-mindblown]
