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?

Feeling like a bit of an imposter lately. Just hit gold 2 after a huge win streak, and almost no top frags.
Out of the past 15 or so matches I've lost 3. I haven't been top fragging except for once. My KD has been around 1.3. I play Viper almost exclusively, and feel like I understand the game better, but I didn't think I could rank up that fast!...

Asexual flag is upside down
Seems like Riot for some reason used an upside-down version of the asexual flag for the banner.
