As a true Gold player, I'm having a hard time understanding the reason there is no rank demotion.

I can usually solo to P3 or P2 each season, but never have the mental to reach Diamond. Demotion would be nice because it would prevent P4s from hot dropping and playing like it's pubs because they know P4 is as far as they get and there's nothing to lose now.

I just wish ranked didn't reset in splits, it's probably the biggest culprit to most of the player base grinding to plat and then turning their brains off.

I think if they added demotion but removed the reset that's just a good middle ground for ranked where everyone is happy.

I also think Bronze needs an entry cost. Bronze should be the trenches where only the worst players exist. Right now it's just where people get reset to and nothing less.
