Re: Once You Reach Gold, You Should Never Get Demoted to Bronze
@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.
