will you go back to 0 LP if you lose even once?
probably, the people im being matchmade with now are silver 4/silver 3 primarily
the shitty thing now is, even if i get back to .500, it may still be matching me with mid silver players instead of the people i was playing before this crazy losing spree
of course the system is working as intended, to prevent me from leagueing up to gold 4 by beating silver 3 players
but if you placed silver 1 instead of gold 5 youd be silver 3 now
not likely, as i havent been demoted to silver yet
when you are early in your rating (few games played) the system gives you a larger variance of people you play, to get a broad sense of where you belong, then it determines with more accuracy where to keep you once your rating sticks around .500
if you lose 10 matches in a row, you can go from gold to bronze very fast if those are your first 10 matches after placing
if youve played 200 matches already, and you lose 10 in a row, your rating wont fall nearly as far, because its established you should be playing people in gold
