I would add that if you stay in silver for quite a while but have an overall poor win ratio, it will take fewer and fewer consecutive losses at 0 LP to drop to bronze. I finished placements (this is my first season ever to play) I was in silver 2. I almost instantly dropped to silver 5 and hovered there for about 2 months.
My overall win ratio at that point was only around 40%. I kept bouncing between 0 and 30 LP. When I dropped, it only took 3 consecutive losses at 0 LP to drop me to bronze. And from there I tanked to bronze 3 0 LP in a single day. Seriously, check out the losing streak I had over the July 4th weekend. It gave me PTSD.
Climbing out of bronze was really, really tedious. Once I got back to silver it's been a pretty easy, steady climb, and I'm almost back to S2.
