League System - Is it possible to get demoted?

Asked by A Chubby Baby on February 15, 2013

Hey all,

So with the new League System in, I think most of us know that to get your rank up/promoted, you get 100 points and win the next 2/3 games or win the next 3/5 games.

But my question is, is it possible to get demoted? Like maybe if you're stuck at 0 points and you lose like the next 5 games in a row?

Thanks.

You cant be demoted from Leagues, but still demonted from Divisions

AFAIK you cant be demoted in the new system
watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsTU6MblIug&list=UUmtQGojT9O2LVzVIVKDGEjw&index=7
it should give you some information about the new system.

It is possible to get demoted both Tiers and Divisions.

To be demoted a Tier, like Silver to Bronze, you have to be demoted through Elo Decay. It isn't possible to lose so much that you can go down Tiers though, once you're there, you're there. Challenger Tier is a bit different, though.

To be demoted a Division, you just have to lose enough at 0 points.

I'm assuming the decay happens every 4 weeks of inactivity?

The general consensus is that if you lose 5 games that would theoretically put you in negative league points, you can have your division demoted. So if you lost 4 games at 0 league points, won 1 game and then lost another (assuming this loss takes away 1 more point than the win gave you for argument's sake), you would get demoted.

Riot has not officially made a statement about this, but it seems to be 5 games.
