Let's Talk LP, Like Really?

Okay So personally I'm fed up with ranked this season. Let me tell you my story: [slayer-pantheon-popcorn]

Last season I was a total noob and started playing my ranked waaay to early, as a result, I landed in low Bronze.[slayer-jinx-unamused] Buuuuut after fighting my way to Silver like 2 I lost my last couple and finalized at like Silver 4.

This season I was pumped, I went in with a game plan like iight boom I'm gonna land high bronze probably, work my way into silver again and go for low gold. I was like the one thing I'm not anymore is trash. That failed, landed in Bronze 3. Although I was kinda upset I was mostly confused about earning like 70LP for it to drop to 50 then to 30 and then I wasn't moving anymore. But I bucked up and got ready for my climb.

**I got up to 60% and 75% win rates, doing multiple 5,6,6 game win streaks but I was persistently earning 20 LP ** I was so discouraged.

Last season this achievement was rewarded with faster scaling and more LP for these kinds of win streaks. Why aren't they being rewarded this time around?[sg-lux-2]

I had around a 65% win rate going into my Platinum 3 promos, I won them pretty easily and skipped right up to Platinum 2. Up until that point I was getting around 25-26LP per win. The second I hit Platinum 2 I was only getting around 15LP per win. Made zero sense. The game thought I was good enough to SKIP a division, and I hadn't lost any games when my gains dropped. Getting the normal ~20 per game now at Platinum 1. Just made getting up here hell because my gains were so low for around 2 weeks.
