LP change with positional rank change?

When there was positional ranks, I would get about 23 lp for a win and 10 for a loss. Now that the positional ranks are disabled, I am getting 13ish for a win and 17[!!!!!] for a loss. What changed? I have not gone up a division since the change. Is this because of the disabled positional ranks, or something else? It is really frustrating that I am climbing a lot slower. Has anyone else noticed this?

Yes, I was gaining about 25-28 per win and anywhere from 13-16 for a loss, and have a positive win rate for support (main position).

Made it to Silver 2 and my LP gains immediately shifted to about 18 per win and 16 per loss (which was right before the switch back from positional ranking). Now post positional ranking revert, I gain 16-17 LP per win and lose 18 per loss. Mind you, I never went on a losing streak for more than 2 games and am currently 10-4 in my last 14 ranked games STILL only getting 16-17 LP per win and STILL losing 18 per loss.

It is rather frustrating, specially as a support main, but what is there to do? Nothing really other than continuing to play and continuing to win it hopes to switch my LP gains/losses back to normal (or at least positive). But we all know what will happen if I continue to win like I am right now...
