Yes, you can drop out of Gold 4 in League of Legends, but it requires your MMR (Matchmaking Rating) to fall to a level equivalent to Silver 4 or lower, which typically happens after a series of consecutive losses at 0 LP (League Points). To achieve this, you must lose enough games to significantly lower your MMR, and the number of losses required can vary depending on your current MMR and the MMR of the opponents you are playing against.
Understanding Demotion
What is Demotion in League of Legends?
Demotion in League of Legends occurs when a player’s MMR drops below the threshold of their current tier, resulting in a demotion to a lower tier. For a player in Gold 4, this means their MMR must drop to at least the level of a Silver 4 player.
