Promos Always Feel so Frustrating

So at the start of this season I was placed in bronze and got into silver relatively quickly given how often I play ranked games. I got through S5 in a few days then got through S4, but by the time I got to S3 I kept getting demoted immediately after promos. About 6 or so times. Usually streaking back through placements but then getting immediately demoted again. A few times I dipped as my MMR was low but I kept repeating this. Recently I got into S3 and got into S2 in a couple days. But then got immediately demoted again and have since streaked back into S2 and am again in a losing streak immediately after placing.

I know the system tries to maintain a 50% winrate, but why does it feel like a punishment to have a winstreak for promos? I win enough games to gain back 100 LP and then enough to get the win in promos. But if I win a game in the new division and lose 2 or 3 games, I get demoted and have to repeat this process. I've come to expect an afk or just a few bad games after a win streak, but it feels frustrating that this happens after promos when you're supposed to streak in promos. It feels worse when you actually win a game and then lose 2 games because you don't get the 0lp net.

I have the same feeling i go through hell every game in promos im s4. It feels like riot puts you on lower mmr players teams in your elo to test if you are god enough for the next division. Or well thats what i believe. Just keep playing and grinding and you will get there no doubt bro
