I think removing tier protection would have a negative impact on the game. In general it'll likely just make people rank up and play the game less to conserve RP. In fact, that protection I believe is in place in general due to how Battle Royale's operate; due to the fact there are numerous factors that will cause you to lose games quickly that aren't directly in your control. Such as third, or even fourth parties. Sure you can mitigate being third partied by running away, but you can't majority of the time. You are still required to play at the ranked skill level you're in consistently to level past the tier or you will just be stuck in that tier, so removing protection would just be an unnecessary annoyance. I believe the ranked system is in a good place. The people who actually take ranked very seriously don't actually even play with randoms due to the wide spectrum of the skill group. The issue will still occur whether they implement your suggestions or not.
- @OoShellshock I can see where you're coming from but my rationale behind removing tier protection is to ensure that if you are not skilled enough to be in a tier you should not be in that tier. I know that sounds harsh, but I have played with a ton of Platinum players that would not have made it out of silver if silver/gold weren't so easy to solo queue out of due to low RP cost. I think this only discourages lower-skill players (not saying this is you or pointing fingers) from playing ranked, as it wouldn't discourage someone who can easily solo queue into those higher ranks.
