How is LP calculated?
When I play ranked games, I get a random amount of LP per win, usually ranging from 5-20. However, I would like to know how is it calculated, and how do we "ensure" that we get a higher amount of LP than usual?
Also, I would like to know at average how many LP do we tend to lose, and what factors determine how many LP we lose.
Thank you.

It depends on the skill level of your opponents, calculated through MMR. If your opponents are not great (>45% Win rate) and you are a good player (<60% Win rate), your win will mean less because it wasn't as big of a deal. If you were to lose that game, it would count for more against you because statistically, that loss was not as likely to occur.
