I'm puzzled, can someone answer a quick question please?

I went through my placements, and started out good. However, the last five games, I had afks so I ended up getting placed at silver 5. Well, I played all day today, and got to my promos to get into silver 4. I win the first two games and carry my team easily. Well, instead of it putting me into silver 4, for winning the promos, i'm now silver 3. Not complaining, but i'm confused. Haha. How did this happen, and why?

Thanks for any who take the time to reply. :D

Hey! The promos you go through let you advance to the next rank, although, if your ELO is high enough, it will allow you to skip a rank (S5 -> S3), For example, I was Silver 5, and I went straight to Silver 1 on my smurf.

Thanks for reading bud,

Thanks man. I was super confused on that. I'm excited. I get like 28 lp a game. Is that good? Op.gg says my mmr is "Quite a bit higher than average"

Your mmr was high enough to skip a division. It's pretty normal after placements.
