LP gains and losses.
Why do I gain 15 and lose 20+? Is the game trying to tell me I belong in the division I'm currently in?

Depends on the game. If your team has higher MMR they should win so the LP drop is bigger for a loss, if your team has lower MMR they should lose so the LP gain is bigger for a win. IF it is really consistent that your LP for loss (like 9 times out of 10) is bigger than your LP for gains, then you are losing more games where your team is favored, and only winning games where your team is favored rather than when you're the underdog. In that case it's probably saying you're in a league where the average player is a little better than you and the loss over time should push you down if you stay at about a 50% win rate until you are at a level where you win games you're favored in and lose ones you aren't. (Or at least to where you do about the same in wins and losses when you're favored and when you aren't)
Thanks for clearing that up. I guess I'm supposed to win a lot more games, but, it still seems hopeless with the teammates I get matched with. I lost a match against a platinum 3 ranked team 5 vs 5 player and lost 22 LP, which still doesn't make much sense. We got rolled. Hard. And my gains are like 15 LP pretty much every hard fought game. I guess bronze for life. FML.
