Why am I gaining less LP, while I win more lately?

Since Yesterday I only get 16 lp for a victory and -21 for a defeat, which absolutely makes no sense. Compared to when my winrate was below 48% it was gaining 1-1 (so 20 for victory and 20 for defeat) Lately my winrate has been going up, because I'm spamming graves with a 65%~ winrate so my winratio last weeks lately is insanely high, but I'm losing more lp and gaining less. Is it because I'm hitting the promo series to diamond?

Because you're winning / losing people at or lower than your level.

No, I looked at his match history. Its just one of the choke points for LP. Plat to diamond.

JeTaimeLeCoock, you probably don't know this, but LP does not matter. There is a hidden rank called MMR (Matchmaking Rating.) LP falls off if you win more, or if you win against people with a lower MMR. Here is a site to find your MMR. MMR stays consistant throughout, so if you are in Diamond 3, but get matched with Masters, you probably have a Masters MMR. This is why your league does not stay consistent if you transfer servers.

EDIT: You seem to have the MMR of a Plat 3 player at 90-100LP.

LP doesn't determine who you are matched against. If you are Challenger with 800LP but more MMR than one with 1000LP, you essentially are better than them. and once you are in a higher MMR game than your LP then you will automatically climb.

Right, but LP is what is used to hep players climb so it is stupid to say LP doesn't matter. I could have 3000MMR it doesn't matter if I have 0LP and am in bronze (I'll climb fast, but I still need the LP to do it). And this dude is in Plat was winning 20LP but i snow gaining less ( I do not know if he ranked up, but he states his WR is positive).

Well it's a tad bit better now. I'm gaining almost the same as I lose, but at a lower amount, 18ish for victories and defeats. To my feeling my mmr is around plat 1~. See many hardstuck diamond V's close to 0 lp and many players from plat 1-2.

How legit is this site, If I look for my name it says Plat V and when I click on progress it's Plat 3. Besides OP.GG is saying Im D5

This site isn't very accurate, but it demonstrates the concept of MMR. This MMR is not the official League MMR.
