Does Acquiring S rank reset to reflect nerfs?

5/23 PBE Update

For example, I see that Anivia currently has a nerf pending on her ult on the PBE.

Anivia: Glacial Storm (R) mana drain per second increased to 40/50/60 from 30/45/60

So my question is, since it becomes more difficult to obtain an S rank for masteries 6-7 when a champion is nerfed. Is there some kind of soft reset on that champion's overall rank performance to reflect that?

I'm not complaing about the nerf. I'm just curious.

probably not? Because then the average would drop to get an S due to S is generally comparing it to other people playing that champion in that lane vs that relative match-up or something. So no it won't get a soft reset nor did any other nerf or buff do such a thing either.

If I had to guess, I'd say that the thresholds are recalculated on a daily basis using statistics from the past few days. This way rankings would reflect changes to the champion or game over time without being too volatile.

I wouldn't really call that a nerf, but just a revert since that was what the mana cost was before current patch.
