Tier demotion protection

Can we get demotion from the 4th tier in ranked leagues? demotion from diamond 4 to platinum 1 and so on ? Rewards should be given to the highest rank you've reached regardless of what rank you finish with but not having demotion from 4th ranks creates a fake skill ceiling which unfortunatelly can be reached by very new players from bronze to platinum just by camping if they so wish.

Some type of demotion from 4th ranks can help a lot , and can revert the diamond 4 to plat lobbies change and just keep every league on its own unless there are not enough players in it.

People set goals when they start playing ranked, and most of them are just hoping to get the higher they can go , but they don't care about improvement after hitting platinum 4 so they just act like in pubs where there's nothing to lose and destroy the experience of solo que'rs like myself , not everyone has friends on speed dial to get to masters... i believe that most players solo que , if the tier demotion protection would be removed then the further you go in a rank you will find people that would also try to climb higher so thus creating skill based matchmaking properly ... let's say you leave the tier demotion protection for gold and silver but for plat dia and masters it should be removed and create a new ranked experience right there.

Am I crazy here?

  • @Rocko_CCTV The issue with that is you will have people demoting on purpose to get easier matches. People do this now by making new accounts but it would be even worse if people could drop in a match only to purposely lose, which also would affect their teammates chances.

    I mean what servers are you playing on? its a bit weird to say that since when i was playing in d3 lobbies last season i almost never saw a platinum player there.... i'm on eu , i'm thinking america is the same as a playerbase

    People finding loopholes will always be there, if they demote on purpose you  get really good people that get a 3 match promotion if they really try... it won't impact the game as much as you think, also people that want to get into higher lobbies don't really demote on purpose, what's the point... Also , by statistics people in d3+ are under 4% of the game population, if they demote on purpose how many games do you think they would affect , just by statistics

    THat is already happening... there is no point in this protection for a ranked competitive game...
