This mmr system is messed up

I worked myself up from s5 to s4, won many games in a row have 75% win rate in last 20 games and still I only got 13 lp for a win just now.... Why does it still give me so little even if I have proven my mettle? Imo there should be no mmr at all just an elo and you gain elo depending on how strong your opponents were, thats how it is in chess and I can't see any logic behind the elo system in LoL. Simply makes no sense to rate you based on speculation rather than performance.

What part? that there should be no mmr? I mean it should not be different than your rank. If you have a lucky or bad streak because of teammates why should it lower your mmr below your rank that you are now? In chess the elo is a reflection of your rank and it has worked that way for a hundred years or more.

yea i see what you are saying but chess is a 1v1 game and i do beleive that it is critical for mmr to have a PORTION dedicated to your teamplay but that being said right now that is all it seems to be focused on as it fluctuates based solely on wins or losses ... i feel like credit should be given to people that work really hard and do really well but still happen to lose the game because like you said sometimes teammates just wont cooperate etc.
