I'm sure I can do it, but jesus, one loss thrown in there \is going to sink 4-5 games worth of progress, which seems ridiculous.
I get that once you're Gold it's permanent, so it has to be difficult, but having a win for a measly 2 LP just seems silly. I haven't lost one yet, will be interesting to see how much I lose at this point.
EDIT: Even nicer, I just got 1 (one) LP for a win. Up to 98, joy oh joy.
