LP losses/gains depend on your mmr relative to the division you're in, which goes down when you lose games and up when you win games.

MMR is what your matchmaking is actually based on, so if you're playing at a gold level and stomping through bronze/silver people, you'll quickly find yourself playing with/against gold players, but if you are still ranked bronze/silver yourself you'd be getting like 30+ LP for wins and losing ~10 for losses, since the system recognises you're not where you belong. Similarly if you're in bronze 1 but playing like a bronze 5, then the reverse scenario is true.

Going on big loss streaks can hurt your mmr a great deal, but it also means you're getting matched against much worse players, so if you belong at your current rank, you should be able to go on a big win streak to counteract the loss streak and bring your mmr back to normal. (Simply winning >50% of games will also slowly bring your mmr back up too, you don't necessarily have to have huge streaks.)
