I got a friend who was in gold and is now Silver 1. His match history doesn't have a long streak of loses so I don't see how he could've dropped out of gold and I have no idea if he's been playing ranked or not.
Need to know cause I been sitting in gold ignoring ranked for awhile now

Sarutobi1 votesDoesn't this only apply to ranks higher than gold? I don't play rank but I was always under the impressions that you don't drop tiers till reaching the higher ranks. Bronze/silver/gold basically stayed. Hence why a lot of people would just try to reach gold and wait out the season for the rewards!
