LP Questions

So last season I finished Gold 5 after being placed in Silver 4 and only playing a month or two of ranked towards the end of the season.

This year, I was placed Silver 3, and I am already Gold 2 a week and a half later. I am currently 39-17, with a 70% win rate, but I am only getting 20-21 LP per win. Is this normal, or low? I'm not too concerned about it because I've been playing so well and winning so much, but I would like to increase my LP gains if possible. I also haven't played any games in G2 yet since I just got it last night, but I was getting 21 LP in Gold 3.

If it affects anything, I've played plenty of solo games, but also duo'd with a random I met who's the same rank as me for around 10 games, and last night I was duoing with my brother who's Silver 2, but easily at my skill level, maybe better (he was placed Gold 5 last year and didn't play any ranked after that). We won 7 in a row together last night, for example.

Even though I've been playing for over 6-7 years, this is my first time ever having so much success climbing and dealing with drastic MMR changes. High school I was awful and hard stuck Silver 5, and last year hitting Gold was a big milestone for me, because it was a goal of mine I'd had for years. Any answers would be awesome!

Average MMR for your rank should have you gaining/losing around 18-20 lp per game, low mmr will have you gaining about 14 and losing 22, and high mmr will have you gaining 22-25 and losing around 14.

Since the new rank system just got implemented, you should give it a couple more weeks for everyone to settle into their normal ranks and mmr brfore worrying too much about it.
