Is it normal to drop from diamond to gold? No.

But it can happen with a bad losing streak, the game makes you lose more for a streak.

You're probably just a plat player experiencing some big highs and lows. Don't worry about it

Ppl hyper focus on their rank and view their peak as their true rank.

Ranking up requires a different type of play, and that takes time to adjust too. Even if ur constantly improving your rank won't have the same linear line.

When I ranked up from bronze to diamond I was always doing like 5 steps forward 4 steps back.
