First off, This seems like an improvement for you (I honestly have never ended a season below gold 5) but you should stick to champions you are good with, don't just switch to flavor of the months

Probable try and main a lane, and have a good secondary lane and main 1-2 champs for both those lanes but have about a 2-3 champion per lane that you are decent with

to drop back to silver you have to lose a lot of games, basically your elo has to be silver 5. Expanded your champ pool if anything.

No to drop to silver, u need to lose 4 or so games at 0 lp (you get a 3 game safety net)

Live2LetDieMay 21, 20151 votes

not true at all, as a person who personally lost 15+ games in a row at 0 lp g5 this season, and the fact riot stated it themselves, your elo has to be a whole tier lower to drop from g5 to s1.

I've seen countless gold 5s drop to silver.

not saying people dont drop tiers, just stating a fact that your elo has to be a whole tier lower to be dropped, as riot said when they changed the way ranked worked.

Riot stated that you have to have an MMR a tier below to be dropped. If the g5 players you know were playing w/ s4 s5 players before they lost a few in a row to be dropped then it would make sense, but if they were playing w/ s1 and g5 players then write to riot support bc their programming isn't doing what they stated it should and they either need to change their official statement or move the player back into gold.

congratulations. its a long climb to plat. gold 5 to gold 2 isn't too bad. Then you get into high gold hell. You'll see what I mean when you get there.

See you in plat =)

If you've improved to gold level you'll be fine. You have to be a full tier below on your mmr before you become eligible to be dropped. If you just want end of year rewards then you can screw around and play whatever and you probably won't drop below mid silver (just use something like op.gg, carry.gg, or lolking.net to check on the level of players you are being matched against/with), and if you get down like low silver where you're getting silver 4s in your matches, then you can go all try hard for a bit and bring your mmr up to silver 1 or silver 2 again and be fine.

Just play your best champs man besides both those champs are pretty good right now.

I also just hit gold for the first time this season so congratulations fellow ladder climber. For some advice I will say that gold is a bit more challenging than silver was, but in the end it is still the same game.
