Can you fall out of Gold?

Hey guys! I'm working hard, hoping to manage into gold soon and I was wondering if you can fall out of gold once you have reached it? By this, I specifically mean if you are Gold V with 0 LP, can you lose enough that you will drop back down to Silver 1?

Yes.

I think you get like a 4 game buffer though.

Yup. I was gold 5 about 2 weeks ago, then I hit a weekend of toxic players, intentional feeders and people exploiting, and now I'm in silver 3..

if riot actually gave a shit about intentional feeders, then I'd still be gold, but all the positivity in the world can't help it when you have a mid laner go 1-15 vs a riven, or your top laner going 2-19 vs a vlad....

the best indicator is who you get matched against

Yes, the only league you can't fall out of is bronze.

You have to be all the way down to like silver 4 mmr or something to drop out of gold, but you can. So you'd have to lose like 15-20 more games than you win in gold V in order to drop down, so you get a lot of room for error.
