quite the opposite, if you are skyrocketing up to silver 1, you won't get clamped at all, you are going to be clamped regardless in silver 1 if you are not skyrocketing.
This is the reasoning
if you are skyrocketing up from silver 5>silver 1. You probably skipped silver 4 and silver 2, going from silver 5>silver 3>silver 1, this means your mmr is extremely high, even higher than gold 1-2, the system won't clamp you because it believes you should be way higher than your division.
if you are moving at a steady pace, once you get to silver 1. You are going to gain like 10 lp and losing like 5 lp depending on your mmr for a few games. Eventually your gains would be like + 25, -13 after a few games because it becomes stable then. I had more than 100 games in silver 2-4, when I was in silver 1 at 0-30 lp I got clamped then it went away, at 50-70 lp I got it again then it went away, at 90-99 I got clamped again and it went away. it takes like 5 games or so depending on your mmr and goes away. It's sort of expected because once you get 20+ lp per win, you would rise extremely fast if it let you continue doing that, so they slow it down after you get to certain spikes.
