I agree the new point system is probably not intended to work like this, however even if it is, you should never give up games just to boost your points. Your skill rating still goes down just as much as before fro, losing even if the points dont change much. If you stop caring about losing and forfeit early because it doesn't matter for your points, you'll be demoted in mo time.

Oops, "mo time" aka "no time".

Demoted for going UP in the league rankings?? Say I'm losing 8 out of 10 games -- I'm going UP in my master league (~45 pts up, ~20 down), but would get demoted to gifted? How does that make any logical sense??

League points are "fun" points and have no influence over your hidden ranking, which determines promotions, league placements and Top 200 placings.

People are falling into the mental trap that 1 point losses mean nothing. Your hidden rating will continue to plunge, and if you are losing much more than winning (but still gaining points) you can see yourself plunge from #1 in one league to #1 in the league below.
