Rank threshold (15/10/5)

It seems way too easy to purposely demote oneself for easier games. My idea is that once you get to exemple rank 1 your "threshold" would be rank 5. Meaning unless a long time has passed or patches, you cannot go lower than that. What do you guys think ?

    Orrr.... they could just fix ranked so that people actually want to rank up? No other game that I can think of has this problem. There is no incentive for ranking up, it only results in longer queue times and more cancerous games. Make the seasons longer and give an exclusive cosmetic or even just some Iridescent Shards for ending the season in a high rank.

    I don't like your idea because 1) people do get worse at the game, especially when the meta changes, and would therefor be stuck in a rank that isn't appropriate for them and 2) anyone can get to the red ranks if given enough time. If a bad player is stuck at rank 5 forever then that is bad for everyone involved.

    So you didn't read the part about being away for awhile and in-game patches ?

    You do not need to be away a while to become worse in comparison to your competition and metas do not require patches to change.

    It would fill those higher ranks if there was a threshold. Ppl rarely get worst on purpose, it's usually when there's a big change and this is usually followed by a rank reset.
