Trying to understand how ranked works??
So I've had a very quick read through the notes for the changes to ranked in season 13. It seems to me that it's making it easier for good players to progress but harder for average or below average ...

But if you can get demoted easier then won't a lot of good players do that on purpose so they can play in lower ranked lobbies to get more kills?
@Marge010 Some think that there will be a demotion floor. If there is not, what you mention will happen.
I don't see these changes having the massive effect others seem to think they will have. If the demotion floor works the way some think they've just shifted the hard stuck to a half tier lower and those people will still affect the same people. Unfortunately to me it just looks like they've made ranked more of a grind.

@hayhor agreed. More points to get.
Replace hard stuck complaints with smurfing complaints. They will both still be there but smurfing screaming volume is bound to increase.
Also, screaming about how you should be working as a team mate by your other team mate not working as a team.
In part, it will be glorious because it will continue to show the problem is not with the ranking system, it is with the core way the game works.
MM puts you with +/- 1 rank so the demotion will keep Plat 4's out of Diamon lobbies since they will be mostly in Gold 1 now. I'm not sure how Master's lobbies work. The additional Rookie level will mean smurfs need to play for a few matches before they MM with Silver or Gold.
