Flawed rank system

so I was thinking that the way you gain and loss LP in ranked needs to be changed, because if you loss 4+ games in a row your LP gain for a win will be lowered sometimes down to 8(lowest I've got).I cant be the only one that thinks if you loss a bunch of game in a row you should be given a "LP boost" or at least there shouldn't be a lowered amount of Lp gain for a win(or at least a LP minimum).

Losing 4 games in a row will not drop your LP gains significantly unless your W/L ratio is already below 50% and around 47%-48%.

You need to have a huge amount of losses over wins or have had duo'd with someone with significantly lower MMR to tank your own and lose a lot of LP and winning a lot less.

Why would you get a LP boost for doing bad? That makes no sense. If you are doing bad you should lose lp gains till you start being 50 50 again.

Your LP gains are related to where the system things you should be and your 'fluff' badge

If your MMR is lower than where your division and tier suggests, the system wants you to be demoted

If your mmr is higher than where your division and tier suggests, the system wants you to be promoted

It tends to be evened out after an amount of games played

LP gains and losses have a lot to do with MMR

The reason you experience changes in the amount of LP you generate per win has to deal with your account's MMR. If your MMR is lower than what would be expected for someone at your rank, then losing a game will cost you more LP than you get back for winning. Conversely, if you're winning more than you lose, you have a higher MMR than someone at your rank, and should expect to climb quite nicely. When you go on a losing or winning streak, it signals to the game's algorithm that you developed/degraded as a player, and should have your division (or tier) adjusted as such. If you lose like 10 games in a row, welcome to the Elo dunk.
