Once You Reach Gold, You Should Never Get Demoted to Bronze

I don't play ranked much - I get to Gold and then go back to pubs - but I hate grinding out of Bronze. Took me four hours yesterday to get from my demoted rank of Bronze III (from Gold IV) to Silver ...

@EdwardDLuffy I don't know, I don't think the game should have tier demotion protection to begin with. There are far to many people in Gold and Platinum who do not belong there. It leads to a horrible experience for those who need a third to play ranked or solo queue into ranked. The higher up you go in ranked, the hard it is to compensate for bad teammates because the skill gap between you and your enemies becomes minimal. Most fights start to come down to the wire in terms of who wins it.

If they want to keep tier demotion protection then they need to reduce the placement points RP substantially so people who camp and run from conflict don't make beyond Silver or so and definitely don't make it up into Platinum.

Alternatively you could change this line

"If they want to keep tier demotion protection then they need to reduce the placement points RP substantially so people who camp and run from conflict don't make beyond Silver or so and definitely don't make it up into Platinum."

into 

"If they want to keep tier demotion protection then they need to reduce the placement points RP substantially so people who run into conflict on their own don't make beyond Silver or so and definitely don't make it up into Platinum."

Both playstyles are valid. The main problem is people that don't play as a team.

    @Ragarath It take more ''skill'' to wipe half the lobby into top 10 than to rat into that position. His sentence was fine.
