So, a mildly interesting fact...

According to op.gg, NA Bronze 1 average MMR is 1240. Silver 5 in NA, however, has an average MMR of 1176. Is this typical throughout the tiers where division 5 actually has a lower average MMR that the top division in the previous tier?

EDIT: I just discovered this tonight by bumping from Bronze 1 to Silver 5 and checking there.

Literally just checked and it says the average MMR of Bronze 1 is 1,163.

it's because you have to lose a lot of games to go from silver 5 to bronze 1, but you dont have to win many to go to silver 4.

In short, if you are silver 5 you can lose games and not drop, but in bronze 1, you lose games you fall.

Does that make sense?
