How is this in any way normal? Obviously Riot wont answer because they dont have an answer, but when i check op.gg it always says i have a normal MMR, yet i only gain 16 for a win, and 21 for a loss. this honestly is pathetic and makes the game beyond unfun. Why do i have to win 7 in a row for my series, then an extra 2, but if i lose 5 im straight back to 0.

Only Riot has your real MMR, and third party sites (like op.gg) merely have rough estimates using their own algorithms based on incomplete data; you can get a general idea of what you've got, but you'll never have the real thing. If you always get low LP gains then your MMR simply is not average for your division. Continuing to win enough to stay where you're at will eventually even out your MMR though.
