There's no way for the game to detect whether the players have made smart or stupid decisions. There are a lot of situations when it's best to avoid conflict and a lot of others when pushing with all guns blazing is the most efficient thing to do.
Also, without demotion, there would be much more smurfing going on, bronze and silver would be hell. On the other hand, a harsh demotion could make low tiers pretty sweaty.
@DoYaSeeMe Smurfing is a huge problem anyway and it wouldn't be much more negative than them intentionally staying in lower ranks as they do currently or getting to bronze the following season. Also a diamond+ will blitz through bronze and silver ranks in less than a day pretty easily.
I never used to agree with demotion but now i think you'll slowly and consistently climb regardless and with the way they now have this rank protection so you don't get stuck in a rank you're either forced to improve or can't compete at ie D3 being the old D4 then i think we should have it.
@bosourd Masters and preds are exactly the same as they're playing in the same lobbies gaining RP from D3+. It's based on time played more than anything else at that point. Also the skill of one player in diamond isn't THAT much different from a pred mechanically or individually, it's game sense and how well they coordinate with a team to climb higher.
