Was there a change in how many losses you can have while on 0LP before you get demoted?

I thought it was demotion on your 3rd loss.......but after winning promos yesterday......i started today on 0LP and went on a 5 game losing streak but never got demoted.

It's based on mmr, you get 3 guaranteed no demotion games. Then it's based on whether your mmr is low for your division.

Thats normal. Once you get to a new division, you can lose more games than normal until you win a game in that new division. I have no idea how many but apparently its at least 5.

You do get 3 games of demotion protection (wins and losses, not just 3 losses at 0 LP) after a Division promotion (10 for Tier), but you can also get some additional protection with good MMR for your rank. Are you getting high LP gains currently?

I was but not now. Last few days I was on a hot streak.....something like 17-4. I was getting around 20 or 21 LP. Then i lost 5 after promotion and just won my last game and got 17Lp.

I think there's a grace period after you demote

it's based on how good your MMR is too

your MMR will tank at 0 LP once you start losing there. But if it was good previous, you'll tank a few games.
