Elo Decay Question

Gaedar··1 votes·284 views

Just curious, i played a ranked game the other day, thinking it would be within the 28 days with ample time left for the season to end. I played on the 11th so the 28th day would be the November the 8th. Will i be fine not playing those 28 days and still manage to get plat?

Yeah. And if you're not currently plat 5 0 LP, you'd have a little bit of extra buffer too before demotion to gold 1 anyway as your LP trickles down.

Although really it's very difficult to be demoted tiers, so it might be more practical to actually play once an awhile (which you presumably enjoy since you did get to plat). If you're still being matched with plats (or even high gold), then you still have a plat-ish mmr instead of the gold 5 mmr you'd need to be demoted to gold 1 from plat via regular play, so don't worry too much about losing games at plat 5 0 LP until gold 5's and high silver start showing up.

Alrighty thanks! Yeah I'm sitting at 0lp, just was worried I'd decay right on the day of the season ending, haven't had much luck with bot laners and such.
