Question about ranked games

Lets just say at the beginning, that i don't like ranked games. That is the reason I did not do my placement games until now. My goal was to stay in silver, and I managed to be placed into silver V (with 0 LP). So my question is: Is there somekind of safety period/games before I will start dropping into bronze? I mean, that since I am silver V now, will I drop into bronze I, if I will lose the first game after my placement games, or will I be 'safe' to lose for few games until I start dropping down?

And also... Is it hard to get out of bronze I? I have been silver every season I have played ranked, and I haven't played ranked much more than my placement games, so I have never been in bronze before. I am asking this, because I want to stay in silver when the season is over, and I do not want to climb from bronze back to silver, if it is as hard as people say.

You'll be safe for a good amount of time.

my advice to you is don't risk it.

there is no decay in silver or bronze.

In terms of actual credible player skill levels, there is ZERO difference between gold and many people stuck in imaginary elo hell. My source for this is ny own games in both elo's....

furthermore, low elo, the border between silver and bronze especially, is, how shall we put it, PACKED with boosters/botters/feeders/and recreational trolls.

don't risk it.

And also... Is it hard to get out of bronze I?

you will never leave bronze again, unless you join up with a group or submit to extortion by one of the many boosters who advertise conveniently right inside the client itself. you've been warned, which is more than I got, don't squander the advice. AND WHATEVER YOU DO, do not play ranked in between seasons, THS WILLL AFFECT YOUR ELO FOR NEXT SEASON, THERE ARE EFFECTS.

you're goal was that silver badge right? you've done it, you've achieved the goal. go get some sunshine, play normals.

I just finished my place,nets, and got in bronze one. I'm gonna try to get to silver before the season ends, but if I almost demote... I'm just stopping.

Okay, thank you all!! :)

Yes, silver borders were my goal. And while I was doing my placement games, I already noticed, that nothing had changed from past seasons. I had horrible jungler in couple games, and then there were this one adc, that I just could not carry, no matter how hard I tried :( I can usually carry my own, and my adc's, weight, but I am not good enough to carry jungler, and possibly my top laner as well :/ Usually my adc is 'all grown up' and can carry his/her own weight after laning, but sometimes it just doesn't happen...

I also noticed the amount of trolls, toxic people and feeders in ranked. I thought ranked would have less of them than normals, but nope. I was wrong. Even enemy team had feeders, after they gave up of winning.

I think I'll just stick with normals, since I have now made sure, that I can keep my silver borders :)

And GOOD LUCK with the climb Emojay! :)
