This question has been already asked regarding Season 3, but if I recall correclty,  Riot stated something in the lines of "You can drop tiers in Season 4". So I want to know if this is the case, now that Season 4 has started..?  edit: Since some people obviously don't know that there is a difference between Season 3 (before December 2013) and Season 4 (from Mid January 2014), I want to state this clearly again: I am asking about dropping tiers in Season 4. This is not a duplicate to , since it was asked by the time of Season 3, which means through patches the system can be (and has) changed. So either the other question question (as well as the answers) has to be updated, or this question is just plain and simple not a duplicate.

... and if so, what criteria must you meet? I keep hearing conflicted info, like    "Only through inactivity." "Only from challenger." "You can never drop Tiers." "Yes."   Does anyone know definitively?

After the upgrade I can't figure out how the new shield system works. I have the option to discard the shield, and I notice I have a new potion in the inventory.  More importantly, I got attacked (and lost) twice in a short amount of time and don't have a shield. When do you now get shield?

The first time I started a bounty I was able to choose 50, but every bounty since then the minimum is 100.  I still see other bounties of only 50.  Any idea of why I don't have the 50 option any more?  (This is across Stack Overflow and Programmers, at least.)  This is the latest answer I considered placing a bounty on    That particular question does have an answer from me.

Promotion/relegation is a competition format that is often used in many countries for professional leagues as a way to have many teams participate and yet not dilute the top level of play, by only allowing the best teams to play in the highest division while leaving a path to the top open for lower teams, should they improve enough to reach it.  For example, in England, there are thousands of football (soccer) teams, in varying divisions from the Premier League (top 20) all the way down to "amateur" level. However, even teams at the lowest division could theoretically one day play in the Premier League if they were to be successful enough to reach that level.  Due to the size of the United States, it seems like this format would have been ideal here to allow teams to exist all over the country. Yet it seems like this kind of format has never been used for professional sports in the United States. Why is that?

Does anyone know how SO user reputation leagues work for people who have the same recent score? I was wondering because I checked the league and I saw   We all have the same month reputation. However, I'm ranked #878 while MadProgrammer is ranked #876! Obviously this is a GIANT bug that must be corrected at once.   But actually, how is this decided? It's bugging me that I can't find any pattern.   By total rep it goes: 3rd-1st-2nd By rank change: 1st-3rd-2nd (maybe) By membership time: 2nd-1st-3rd Alphabetically: 3rd-1st-2nd By badges: 3rd-1st-2nd By coolness of pic: 3rd-2nd-1st   So the only thing I can think of is that someone wrote an extremely sophisticated algorithm to rank the coolness of pictures and then ranks them in reverse order. If this is true, can I please have it?  -EDIT- Went back today and it looks like Aaron is probably right

Is there a way to see my previous performances with respect to winter-bash? May be something like leagues for winter-bash? I understand that hats are different each year, but at least it would be nice to see the number of hats collected.

I've begrudged some of the choices I've made in regards to ability choices while progressing through the Witcher 2, and now that I've reached Act 3, I've heard rumors that some sort of "secret quest" will allow me to reassign all my abilities from scratch.  Are there any truths to these rumors? If so, how do I accomplish this?

I just discovered I can cast a  on meta at 288 reputation, even though the privileges list marks it at 3k.   Is this a bug?   I do have the "Close Vote" privilege on SO. The question was my own, can I always vote to close my own questions?

I know I can only use the gym feature after hitting level 5, but are there any other privilege or rewards for the levels above 5?  For example, in Ingress, some items are only available for the higher level player. How about Pokemon Go?

I stopped following the Pokemon anime a while ago, but I know the series has had Ash go through many regions, including retreading at least one of them.  When Ash was about to get his eight badge, Misty mentioned that they'd been on the road for a year at that point.  I saw some recent episodes, and Ash looks nearly identical to when he first started as a trainer.  Normally I'd attribute that to cartoon sitcom logic, where the characters never age; but in a series with continuity and references to earlier seasons, this makes no sense.  What's the official word on a timeline for the Pokemon anime?

Don't worry! I got all my 100 reputation :) It just didn't appear that way...    The notification says +100, but why does it say +97 at the top?  Edit  I created an account on server fault, and this time it says +96. I assume it's because of the down votes on this question; however, I thought down votes aren't shown in the rep you gain.

During long/hard fights you get a chance to use a summon after the gauge is full, but despite having summons equipped on all characters only one character can call their summon.  How does the game determine which character will be able to use the summon once the gauge is full?  Update: So it doesn't seem to happen all the time. I have had a couple times now where I can select which summon I want to use, but sometimes I haven't had the choice so want to know why it isn't always a choice.

How does Hearthstone match you with opponents in Play mode, for both Ranked and Unranked? Does your record in Ranked affect matchmaking in Unranked (and vice-versa)?

Not sure if this is a duplicate question, How do I find out my all time best ranking? Since ranking move up and down, Is there a way to find out my all time best rank? In case we do not have it, I suggest we take this as a request proposal and provide this feature for the users.

There are three tiers of workers (as is everything else); tier 1, 2 and 3. What I am having a hard time with is figuring out what I can build to target workers from each of the tiers. I gather what I am sure everyone else has, low tech industrial (regardless of density really) provides mostly tier 1 jobs.  But what are my other building options for tier 1 jobs? If I want to target tier 2 or 3 what types of buildings should I consider?

One of the most commonly asked questions of beginners. How do ranks work in Go for amateurs?  Why do we start backwards? And why do we suddenly count upwards again? What is the difference between 9d and 9p? How is this related to rating? What are the basic differences between ranks used in different countries and different servers?

With regards to  post about  and the part about retaining reputation earned from deleted posts that have a score of 3 or better and were visible on the site for 60 days, does this also apply to self-deleted posts and will it continue to do so? I culled a few of my own answers over the weekend that were less than stellar, and my reputation dropped 1.8k, but the rep is back today after the changes were announced. I thought it would be useful to clarify that this also applies to self-deleted stuff.
