ALLOW PLAYERS TO GET DEMOTED QUICKLY

I am playing in plat 5, there are still so many players who are absolutely retarded. Riot should fix this boosted problem while we're in preseason.

It's blatantly obvious when these players are sitting at plat 5, with 0lp, just losing 5+ 10+ games in a row with 5 or 10 deaths per game consistently. Any decent player who deserve to be at this elo would see through the lack of skill that these players have. They clearly do not belong where they are.

For example, when playing mid, I pinged TWICE as soon as my enemy went missing from mid lane, and yet bot lane still chases enemy to tower, gets nothing, then gets killed by the Renekton who simply walked down. Okay. Shit happens. So I warded off the roam paths. Bot lane dies again. I was Zed mid and I could no longer solo kill him after he got his 2 kills. So I bought a control ward and warded bot roam, use trinkets, AND got the river crab for vision. Like... that's all I can do. I wasn't going to follow a 2/0 renekton who might hide in a brush with VI and kill me if I were to follow, plus, miss a full wave of cs every time he disappears.

And yet bot lane still dies to mid roams. Twice. Thrice. Continues to die over and over. If they either look at the map when the Renekton leaves mid, or when he gets to bot lane, or see my pings, they wouldn't die. OR, see that mid and jungler are missing, and don't cross the river.

As such, I am seeing way too many players who show this kind of lack of skill that would be picked up climbing out of silver.

LIKE... WTF...?

Yes, I could also type so that my team reads the fact that my enemy is roaming but I don't want to do that if it's going to cost me cs. And that's why smart pings exist. I'm not going to do that shit every time my enemy goes out of sight.

I go to check match history and of course, both players have a history of losing games, averaging 10+ deaths per game.

Solo queue has been a much better experience than DQ overall (minus the "you may get a role you don't main" thing) but seeing that at least half of these games have a few players who are clearly boosted, I think it's fair to simply make players get demoted easily to fix the damage that's been done by DQ. I don't even understand why players have an elo barrier from getting demoted. It should be flexible. We already get 2 grace games after promotions. No need to wait for a player's elo to drop a whole tier below. That's just stupid.

Matchmaking uses MMR to match people together, not their rank. You'd get matched with the same people whether they were demoted or not. They should be getting demoted easily though, just so they care more about winning or losing when they're in the 5th division of their tier.
