So i check the more about the league system for where it tells you how much LP you're gonna end up with after losing series or promos and this is what it says

"You'll lose League Points relative to how you performed in the series. You'll generally find yourself somewhere between 60-90 LP following an unsuccessful series."

So WHY DID I GET PUT AT 45LP? https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t35.0-12/13410593_10204980366107919_1646800840_o.png?oh=10cb39faa7d632d8e1e24f6f5dd89092&oe=575EF2E7

i did lose 3 games but i've never gotten below the 60LP amount before after losing series

Well the amount you lose per game depend on your mmr, and losing 3 games in a row is prone to hurt your mmr. Some people are stuck losing ~20 per game, so losing 55 over the span of 3 games is reasonable.

I'm also assuming you didn't do any dodging since checking your LP, since sometimes people dodge forgetting that takes away LP too.

I read the ranked thing the other day and it said you'd lose LP similar to how you would lose LP if you weren't in the series. Aka, 3 losses = 55 LP, means 100-55=45. Two might've been 18, one 19. I'm guessing they were talking about regular divisions, not tier-ups.

Hmmm but it says series and promos on there

They did say generally, versus always. Often times series have some wins mixed in, and most series are best of 3's versus best of 5, so I reckon their statement is still accurate.
