It's called clamping. It's to make sure you're good to go to the next tier (silver / gold / etc.), since you can't get demoted.

How long have you been in Bronze? I got out of bronze right after my qualifiers and got 20-25 per win all through B1, so it didn't really clamp me. Although, I won every non promo game I played in Bronze lol.

I think it takes into account your (invisible) MMR in ranked and compares it to the tier above. If you're massively lower, it makes you win more games to bring your MMR up to be more in line with the tier above.

Bright side is, you could be 99 LP Diamond 1, who actually require people above them to lose in order to move up.
