I'm open to the idea of reducing the number of risers in the lower tiers though so that players who legitimately have the skill to advance don't get stuck there for so long.
You do derank once you get to Platinum. It's incredibly obnoxious. I could win 7 games in a row and be on the verge of Diamond, lose 3 and get deranked down to Plat 2.

Honestly, rather than fixing the RNG W/L just remove overtime and make the game a draw where no one gets and +/-. OT has jank dumb rules to it, you could die 9 times, pop a LB in OT and just instantly win regardless of where the crystal is. I've lost so many games where we've been waxing the ass of the enemy team right on their doorstep, get 2 deaths in OT and instantly lose.
