how do u drop from silver to bronze in s7
Hey I just got silver two days ago. I played 4 games in silver and lost all of them. I don't wanna get demoted to bronze 1. Is it possible to demote from silver to bronze? If so, how? I need help.

If you send riot a dozen cupcakes im sure they will prevent you from dropping back to bronze, and you don't have to live scared anymore.
It is impossible to get demoted for 10 games once you reach a new league.
Here's what it says on the Riot ranked play FAQ:
DEMOTIONS A particularly bad losing streak may result in dropping a tier or division, though there’s no set number of games that may trigger a demotion. Losing enough games at 0 LP can drop you into the next-highest division. If you’re in division V, it’s possible you’ll even drop a tier. After a demotion, your LP will be set to 25 or 75, depending on how many losses you had at 0 LP.
After being promoted into a new division or tier, you’ll gain the effects of a demotion ‘shield,’ which prevents you from dropping. This is to keep you from winning a series, losing a few games and then immediately dropping back to where you were. The shield lasts for 3 games after advancing a division, and 10 games after advancing a tier (3 games for Master tier).

It takes a LOT to drop from one rank to another, basically you need to be at Silver 5, 0LP and continue to lose to the point that your MMR(which can still tank without losing further ranks) is sitting around mid Bronze MMR, and then the system will eventually drop you into Bronze 1. I dont remember how it does it though, I went from Gold in Silver once, and if I remember correctly, I went to Silver 1, 90LP so I won the next 4 games in a row and got right back in Gold.
You may or may not demote within the next 1-4 games if you lose them. As I understand it. It has to do with your MMR. If your MMR drops to bronze 1, but you are still silver. The next game you lose will probably demote you.
I can be wrong though. But it makes sense considering your MMR determines how much LP you get/Lose when you win/Lose a match.
some people are saying u have to have bronze 5 mmr to drop. is this tru? will I get a warning if I'm about to drop?
