Why does my MMR take such a huge hit after a 3 game losing streak?

I have been trying really hard to push myself into diamond. I finally got out of plat 5 by hard carrying with lee/kha/jax (basically I've just picked ignite and went ham). I met my duo partner in one of my plat 5 games and I've played with him a few times while climbing, I normally have really great scores. I got into plat 2 and I lost a game, won my next, lost 3 in a row and got demoted.

Now I'm struggling to climb in plat 3. I had TWO games with 4v5's (one was actually a 3v5) and I lost 20 points each for those. I had to dodge twice resulting in a loss of 13 L. But if I win a game? I get about 15 points. Why? I lost THREE games in a row, that's it. Now I have to have a 66% win to climb effectively? Why?

Master tier.... rather then waiting to put it in at the end of the season, riot put it in towards the end of the season, and its fucked up a lot of lp gain/loss in gold 5 i gained 15, 7 , 20, 26, 16 and i lost 20, 20, 15, 18 its hitting everyone...

The point of a ranking system is to rank each player according to how good they are compared to everyone else.

If you start creating a pattern that you aren't where you're supposed to be, the system is going to try pushing you out of that particular bracket faster.
