You were CURRENTLY being shielded from demotion. That means that you should have already been demoted, but the shield saved you. It made no promise to shield you for the next game, which you decided all by yourself to play. It even specifically warned you that you are critically close to being demoted. You LOST at 0 lp, and got demoted. 100% your fault. Get over it.

if thats how the system works its stupid and also it does not say currently the exact quote is " you are being shielded from demotion but have lost too many games to maintain your current rank " nothing about that says past tense it looks to say that you wont get demoted if you lose. there should be a msg that says you are no longer being shielded from demotion win more games to not be demoted.stupid wording on riots part
