Very simple: The fact that I'm climbing faster and retaining my new rank (with the system's help) is making me an overall better player because:
- I'm facing better players on the opposite team FASTER (didn't happen before). When I first get there, I get stomped, but I always look back and try to improve on my mistakes so when I come back, I'm a bit better.
- After a couple of losses (and with the help of the demotion protection) and wins, I'm able to improve to the point of really being relevant next time I face these team compositions.
- After this grind (loose, win, train, improve) I am managing to climb and get past that previous blockage.
- When I face plat players now, I able to put up a great fight (again, didn't happen before).
That's it. How do you feel about the system? Do you think it's helping you too?

Like I get it — DM is not about winning or losing and respawn times are low so what does it really matter if I get killed from off screen, right? But I just don't understand the sentiment here.
In my mind the player increase from 10 to 14...
