How many losses do you get until your demoted? and if you win a game then go back to 0 LP do you still have that many losses available?

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).

If you win a game after a promotion your shield is deactivated and even 1 loss at 0LP can demote you.

depends on mmr, if you have high enough mmr they'll spare you a few wins (like 3, possibly 4 if you're lucky) if your mmr is low, you should go down after 2 losses
