Why are loses so punishing in high Plat?

Plat 1. Gained around 28 LP for a 2 win streak. Lost 1 game and went -22 LP. Lost two more and was demoted.

I mean 3 loses in a row isn't good but I'm kind of demoralized having to deal with Plat 2 --> Plat 1 series again...

Hard to overcome a 17 death Olaf.

Your MMR isn't at Plat 1 level yet. If it's lower than the division you're in you'll lose more LP and gain less until it evens out. LP gains also fluctuate a bit, so you might see different gains between matches.
