@hayhor Demotion actually would help since you get players carried in higher tiers (sometimes they even pay for it) when they simply are not on that level. Plat IV is full of those people, some of them would have to really start playing better in order to get back to it. Of course it'd not fix the issue permanently but at least it'd help with it partially.

I wouldn't apply it to Master though since queue times would dramatically rise.

@Cro_Pittt I don't see how demotion would help. If demotion existed this would still happen. The only difference is these players would quit playing. We know thats the complete opposite of engagement.

Players who get carried now become fodder for better players. Many will say yeah but they are my teammates and ruin my game but I can guarantee you probably kill more of them than you have for teammates. Things tend to even out.
