Demotion Revise

Can we please get a more accurate/ dependable system for (Demotions). I had 4 bad games in a row, the third game put me at 0 LP, the forth demoted me.... 1 game at 0 LP and I get demoted, that doesn't seem right. When I looked up the "Demotion" in support it says, "A particularly bad losing streak may result in dropping a tier or division, though there’s no set number of games that may trigger a demotion. Losing enough games at 0 LP can drop you into the next-highest division. If you’re in division IV, it’s possible you’ll even drop a tier. After a demotion, your LP will be set to 25 or 75, depending on how many losses you had at 0 LP." Losing enough games at 0 LP will drop you right after saying there is no set number is kind of sus. -Maybe give a negative LP counter, once you hit -40 LP you get demoted and have the negative state activate after the game you lose that makes you go to 0 LP. If you win one prior to hitting -40 then it resets you to 0 LP and you start over. Just an idea but the way it is now seems off.

It is dependable You can't possibly demote if you are >0 lp. If you are at 0 lp, you will most probably get demoted after losing unless you got this whatever 0 lp rank after promoting(and even then its like 1 loss protection). Maybe they already have that "negative lp" system enabled, its just hidden. So if you are losing 30 lp per loss and you had 20 lp at the beginning, your first loss will bring you to 0(actually -10) and second loss will briing you to 0(actually -40), resulting in demote. Meanwhile if you are losing 15 lp per loss, after you hit 0 you need at least 3 losses in a row to demote. Or maybe its something else entirely.
