SO I got promoted to Silver 4 and after a 50% win rate in the league i get demoted. Literally w-l-w-l-w-l...

Why? I don't understand. What is this?

Someone explain to me how this happens?

its MMR based, not LP based. meaning it matters which games you win, and which games you lose. if you lose against worse players you tend to drop more. if you win against better opponents/teams you will climb faster.

you would be mistaken if you believed that riot matches you fairly. theres always variation among the players/averages.

I was 16-14 on my smurf when I won my gold 5 to gold 4 promo, and I still skipped gold 4, getting placed in gold 3 instead. Your win/loss does not represent your MMR.
