I would lose more lp as I ranked up and it would reset my level to bronze 5 so I went in and out of bronze 4 I think that a consistent amount of lp lost and gained meaning that the lp lost and gained would be the same. It would be better that way. Idk if this is something anybody else encounters but i'm just speaking my mind.

It's your MMR. When you lose to players with lower MMR you lose more LP, and you get less LP for beating players with a lower MMR. The inverse is true for beating/losing to players with a higher MMR.

Basically what the system is saying is your game play is indicating you should not be at the level you are so you loose more than you gain as it is trying to bring your rank down to the level your playing at. Inverse if you play really well in a rank over and over you will start to get more LP (+28 etc) as they system tries to get you out of the rank and into one where the players are on the same level. When you gain 20 and loose 20 the system is basically saying this is where you belong.

I'm running into the same issue between bronze 5 and 4. Its because there is a big gap in MMR between the two. The addition of iron will help. By dividing the low elo from 5 levels to 8, the gap between ranks will be smaller.
