Still lose more lp than gain, gone up from silver 4 to silver 2

Hi, I am just wondering why I still lose more lp. Even though I have moved two divisions. Usually when this happens it is because I am on a big losing streak, but it tends to go back to normal after I win at least 5 or so games to a 1 lose. This time however, it refuses to revert back to normal. At this point I ain't even mad, just curious. If anyone could enlighten me on this it would be most appreciated. Thanks :)

P.S. This is the third time i am posting this, other two got deleted because i didn't read like an idiot lol

System is stupid. I've been above 50% and haven't climbed really.

But even last season i had at least 20 losses over wins but still could get my lp back to normal and keep that way till i could win more games.

It's not based on wins so much as when you win against people that are rated higher overall and gain more LP / MMR. A 45% win plat player is still going to be better than a 60% silver player.

Excepr MMR is shit. The whole thing is win loss. I've lost against teams who had a "lower average MMR" but they played fantastically, and won against teams with higher MMR that were shit.

MMR is nothing to do with actual skill levels of the teams.

One game isn't a really good example. Playstyles are a really huge factor and if you have 5 different people playing 5 different ways vs. 5 people that are on the same page even the better players will lose due to a lack of synergy or they have a player with a higher skill level with them and the lower elo players just have the job to complement them (which is a lot easier). Also, people screw up at champion select and bans so sometimes OP gets on one team fast.

I know the system can be a bit wonky here and there, but in my case and think there really is something i am not getting.
