Can I get demoted?

Charming Pianist··2 votes·489 views

Very simple, I have been gold V for a while and gave up hope on climbing within the given time so I decided to stay gold V,

I got pretty lucky because I was at 0 LP, lost 3 games in a row over 2 weeks or someting and I havent been demoted yet,

my question, can I get demoted from just not playing from gold V to silver I?

No, low elo accounts do not decay. Only the higher ones do to keep ranked queue active and competitive.

If you have just reached your rank and you have 0 lp you can't be demoted even by losing as far as I remember.

U cant get demoted from gold to silver. U can lose 100 more games and will stay 0lp

not true, you will demote if your MMR gets low enough.

AKA- losing like 20 games at 0LP.

yes you could drop from challenger back to bronze in one season, thats just an example. you usually get a 3-5 game buffer on a new division, slightly increased on a brand new league. i think a minimum of 5 on silver/gold/plat/dia 5 etc.

You can't decay out of Gold 5 if that is what you are asking.
