win 14lp lose 22-24, is the ranking system bugged?
My win rate was about 90% for the last 35 games, how is it possible for me to only get 14-15lp each win and 22-24lp for the lose? Sure it's not the MMR because I started from unranked.

Winrate alone doesn't determine MMR. If you lost multiple matches you should have won, your MMR goes down more than losing ones you were expected to lose.
Also, LP gains and losses are based on Riot's expectation for MMR for that rank, and on the match's relative MMR. What's most likely is that your MMR is lower than your rank's average, so you'll lose more on a loss and gain less on a win until your MMR rises to your rank's average, or your rank falls to your MMR's average.
I'd think it needs tuning. Splitting the positional MMR instead of some form of averaging is probably going to take a bit of time to get worked out especially with the time needed to address as many abuse cases as possible.
Keep winning games and you will see it go up. If your account is fresh which is the impression I get from your post, it tries to place you around Silver. As you win more games, it increases. Looking at your match history, you have a 70% win rate over the last 20 games. If you look at your op.gg here, you will see that your average team MMR has actually risen. You're playing against better opponents as you win more.
