Please, the only real consequence is when you're trying to climb out of diamond and into crystal, where you can actually drop ranked tiers.

Other than that it's literally just a numbers game.

I'm climbing on pld right now, and it's just the numbers that matter until Diamond +.

People just have a bad perception in their mind, or they're trying to mask an ego.

You're going to lose, get over it, it's part of the climb. You just gotta outlast the bad matches.
if you think its just about one's rank then you really gotta think more about the facets of the state of ranked activity, i stated rank as just one example but theres a plethora, not everyone has the time or interest in the "numbers game" , so a loss that results in 5-20 min per match and not counting que time is enough for some to to not play in what some might think as waste of time compared to casual where again theres nothing to lose and alot to gain,

also if youre goin into the mindset of "just a numbers game" you probably wont make it that far, its more than just that, theres timing of what and when to use your toolkit as well as team combos and positioning, baiting , blocking ect

i dont know where youre getting this "ego" psycho analytic from but its defo a bit of stretch compared to the more obvious answer that its late in the season and there are other things to do with ones time
