Demotionals/Grace Period

7000 Steps Troll··2 votes·709 views

Lately I'm stuck in a limbo of getting promoted, winning a game a the next elo, losing to get back down to 0 lp, and then losing my next match booting me back to down to where I came from. Since we have to prove ourselves to get promoted into a division, isn't it only right that we should be protected for a certain amount of games or be given another series to prove we belong there before we're demoted?

Yeah it kinda sucks, i spent like 3 weeks bouncing between silver 2 and 3. Pretty annoying. Now i'm at silver 1, got up to 53 LP, lost all of them back at 0, and im reluctant to play again because chances are i'ma get demoted then have to win another 4-5 games just to get back to where i was...

No because u only get demoted if u lose a lot at 0 or you go on a large losing streak, showing you can't hold your own there anyway

I went 1-3 and got demoted.

I don't consider 4 games to be "a lot" or a large enough sample size to be demoted considering all the things that can go wrong in a game.

and also if that is your logic then I should be able to get to 100 lp and just win a game to be promoted because I "won a lot" and I "held my own there."

your mmr must have been low enough to demote you. sorry for your lose but you did lose 3 times in a row, your own fault, I'm also sure you have lost a few games at 0LP as well.

I only lost twice in a row... and how do you know those losses are "my own fault?"

Haven't you ever been in a game where you had no chance to be able to carry?

It happens, if you truely belong it would be a BREEZE to get back and climb over it. that simple

sure but what happens when I breeze back and I get a couple games at 0 lp that are out of my control?

Like I have to win a 3 game series and then I'm essentially put in a provisional 5 game series to see if I can stay is the current system.
