Can I drop rank from Diamond back to Plat?
I've been getting a message demotion shield expiring often lately so I'm really curious if I can actually drop back to Platinum if I lose 2-3 games on 0LP when I'm Diamond 4
Players who promote to a higher division enter a demotion immunity period that lasts for several games, this is what we call the "Demotion Shield". The purpose of the immunity period is to prevent players from being demoted due to bad luck. Once this shield does expire, you will demote to a lower tier if you lose a game while at 0 LP. However, Master+ players demote after playing at least 3 games and then losing with 0 LP.
Since Season 4 it is possible to be demoted from a tier. Players in the division IV of a tier whose MMR drops an entire tier are warned about possible demotion. For example, a player in Gold IV will receive a warning upon reaching Silver IV MMR.
I hope i answered your question.
Thank you.
