No, you just need to start beating people with a higher MMR. You are probably losing to diamond players and beating platinum/gold players right now to give you the 50/50 win average.
You'll know you are going to move up soon when you start playing a bunch of diamond players ranked 50-100. Give it a week or two for the system to move you up once you start playing mostly low diamond players. Obviously you have to win more than you lose against them to move up.
It is pretty confusing because diamond /= high mmr necessarily. I've played against a bronze dude that cheesed for his first 6k games until he got all the portraits. He then started playing seriously and quickly got his MMR up to the point where he was playing me at 1800 diamond. He was still bronze when he played me and most likely won't move up leagues for a while since he played an ungodly amount of games (it takes more wins to move your avg MMR when you have a ton of games played).
