It Should Be Easier To Drop From The Bottom Of Tiers

Sure people "work hard" to achieve ranks, however it needs to be much easier to drop out of Tiers than it is.

Nothing kills moral and motivation more than when you're working hard trying to climb to the next rank, just to see that you're losing games because of people who are already in that next rank. Those who are 0 LP and have terrible win rates and clearly shouldn't be there.

What's the point of even trying?

Ranks are meant to be something that are fluid and change as a player's skill and ability adapt to changes in the game. No player "is" a rank. Obtaining a rank doesn't mean a player should get to default and stay that rank even if their play is not up to their level of play. If someone can't maintain the level of play of a Diamond V player, and they are D5, they should lose their right to stay there. The same goes for every single Tier in the game.

When I see a Gold V player with a 20% win rate and a ton of games played, I feel enraged. These people are losing consistently to Silver players and still not getting bumped out of Gold and that's pretty ridiculous. I know MMR is what matters, and not so much the Rank, but it makes that Silver I with a 60% win rate who has failed promos 3 times feel like complete garbage knowing that he or she is a vastly superior player than that Gold V who can't even win against lower tier players.

You drop faster than before, that is my experience. After 3-4 loses in a row (on 0LP) you get back one rank and it happened to me two times already. They nerfed drop protection of 10 games i am pretty sure.

When? Because I'm seeing people who have lost some 10+ games in a row in Gold V and haven't bumped down. Hell, there was one guy earlier this season that I saw with a 30% win rate in Gold V and he had nothing except loses on his match history for 20 games and he was still Gold V.

Dropping from V has more protection. Sorry, i was talking about all other ranks.

YOU SO BAD1 votes

Gold is kinda bad. Anytime i see anyone in gold 5 i just assume they are silver.

Cuz like your stating they can lose 19 games win 1 and lose another 19 win 1 forever.
