ranking issue

Is it true that there is no base score for all ranks now? This means that we cannot stop playing ranked games after reaching the Diamond rank, because the base score will rise with the ladder system, which can lead to demotion from Diamond to Platinum, and even from Master to Diamond... Am I right? If so, does it mean we have to keep climbing indefinitely to maintain our rank? It sounds exhausting.

    Overall Ranked Structure update:

    | Split Reset: Removed

    At the same time, we are simplifying the math at each tier by setting each division to be 1000 LP, and we are simplifying the nomenclature of tier and points. Instead of saying 5134 LP, we are presenting it as Bronze 3 - 134 LP in game.

    | Division Width: 1000 LP Per division

    With the new tiers and division widths, we are also revising the promotion bonus and demotion. Rookie is now a rank that can be demoted into.
  • So if I understand correctly, if I reach the Master rank and don't play ranked games for a while, my rank won't be demoted due to inactivity. Is that right?

    That is correct, at least for the current season. At the start of the new season you will have to play placement matches again.
