Why did I get demoted?

So I was in Platinum 3 with 0 LP and decided to play a ranked game. After I lost the game, I got demoted. I'm confused because this was the first and only game I played at 0 LP before getting demoted, while in past experiences, I would usually need to lose 2 games at 0 LP. Does anyone know how or why this happens so I can judge my ranked games more accurately?

I think how much loss protection you get depends on your MMR, and you might lose the protection if you don't play for a while. You'll have to read up on the Ranked FAQ in the Support site to clear that up.
