You can get demoted from tiers, yes.

Is the demotion going the same way as with the divisions? you reach 0 points you lose a game and you go down?

I thought the idea was, if your mmr drops to more then one tier below you, you get demoted. (fx, you're plat 5 at 0 lp, you would only risk getting demoted once your mmr dropped to silver 1 or lower.)

Why there is no official information about that..or if yes - where? I remember last season when they introduced tiers/divisions everything was explained on their official site

Oh is that right? I haven't heard any announcements of how this will be implemented. The way you describe it it sounds like you'll need to go on a huge losing streak to get demoted out of an entire tier (provided your mmr and ranking are relatively close to each other).

I cant even imagine the horror for the high elo players such as platinum/diamonds (coz bronze to gold I guess its all the same, doesnt matter if you ll get boosted or not) to play with boosted people haha, actually it should be pretty hilarious, you worked hard to reach the place where you can get away from random retards and boom you meet them there again and they are actually even worse xD

True, but thats not the only reason why. The reason is that Vayne's ult grants her a huge + AD steroid (Usually 40 by the time you get 2 items). Also, tumble scales off total AD, rather than bonus AD, so you ultiply all of her generous base AD scaling using that skill anyways.

everyone is super sensitive about their placement matches, similar to the mood in this thread.

Tumble's bonus damage doesn't crit and it has no relation with AS whatsoever ('cept for animation's smoothness I guess), though. It's mostly for the ult.

1-3 in placements so far, I'm scared =(
2 losses prevented though, so atleast I did only get one big MMR hit.

Fuck I'm getting ladder anxiety.

God I feel Katarina plays not too differently from pre-rework now. Her basic abilities got nerfed so hard that they are fairly useless and it is all up to getting a good R in a teamfight.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

I was never really a fan of the new katarina, no more godly AD ratios.

With tumble + Silver bolts, Vayne does enough damage to tanks. Her ult gives her like 60 ad, so with it up she can destroy squishies as well while building pure AS.

Also, with that much attack speed, kiting is very very easy, which in my opinion is why people go that build (it just feels so nice).

Yeah but now we have this weird AD Akali going around (either that or I attract them like flies to honey). It's bizarre seeing a Trinity Force + BotrK Akali shred your adc with her E + autos. It puzzles me that just two damage items give her such assassination ability. And because of her passive she has essentially infinity spellvamp.

Can we not have Akali be a thing again? Bjergsen pls.

Quinn feels quite similar in my opinion.

Does Quinn really do that much damage though? I love that Vayne can just go HAM 24/7 in small skirmishes, I figured maybe Draven is similiar.


Quinn has a ton of outplay potential and the damage from her passive is bonkers.

please don't compare an awesome adc like quinn to a lame adc like vayne.


My bad I love Quinn and despise Vayne, just trying to convert someone and spread the word.

Very few things in this game have made me happier than being a 100 hp Quinn, getting taken down to 30 by Lee Sin (lower health than me and running away into a bush) q, and then killing him midair with vault as he tries to jump into me.

In Plat I at least the go-to insult is accusing someone of being boosted, especially if they're Diamond 5.
