This is completely stupid for casual Master and Challenger, this has nothing to do with skill. I am Master and I don't have the time to play a game per day while studying.
Previously you only had to play 1 game per week which was perfectly fine.
Let's say a game lasts 30min and to stay Master the whole season you had to play 365 games - about 180h! (only playing, no queue waiting, no champion select, ...)

Lol.
Cryptocurrency1 votesIf you have a high winrate you don't have to play a lot of games to reach Master. This is what a lot of people don't understand it's more time efficient to climb tryharding every game even if it looks lost. This is what I mean with casual, skilled but not a lot of time.
Jorencice1 votesWhat does it matter if you drop to diamond 1 while your studying. Simply climb back up after finals.
The ONLY day that matters in the ENTIRE SEASON is the very last day.
You can be challenger for 99.9% of the entire season vut if you drop to master tier on the last day none of that matters your not getting the challenger rewards.
Cryptocurrency1 votesYeah but if you don't have time on season end but would've time on previous holidays etc that's a problem.

Sohleks2 votesThey did it for queue times/matchmaking and such. Which is good and all IMO (but only improves things in solo queue, not teams; for teams all it does is make it so master+ teams need to stomp out a rando diamond sometimes even platinum group daily and get like 2 LP and risk 40)
The problem is they give you zero pay off to be in those ranks before the end of the season.
There should be something.. Maybe there shouldn't be yearly jackets they can't deliver. Maybe instead something more monthly. This would push a mini competition wave every month instead of just on the last month of the season...
LostFr0st1 votesPretty sure you can bank up 10 games worth no?
Cryptocurrency3 votesYes, but go on a vacation for 2 weeks or have a hard exam phase while studying.
LostFr0st2 votesWhile I understand that, they made the change because there were too many matchmaking issues and inactive challengers taking up the ladder. 10 days before decay sets in is a decent amount of time. It's not like you won't be able to climb back up again afterwards.
awdaf1 votesYou don't have time to play one 25-35 minute game? Give me a break.
Jbels1 votesI have a question. What makes you more deserving of your challenger spot than the person who devotes their life to playing league? What if they make money off of playing League as a job? What makes you more deserving of that spot when you're not working nearly as hard for it?
Cryptocurrency1 votesSkill difference?
Do you think someone deserves challenger when he has a 51% winrate playing league 24/7 maybe having thousands of games or someone who has a winrate of 70% over 200 games?
Would you rather have a bad person who plays all day in challenger than a good person who plays rarely? What is your definition of competetive?
420 grams1 votesWell you do have 20 games played in the past 4 days.
