Ranked system question on tier division #

Juihuo··1 votes·207 views

Just got my tier and division as bronze 1, is it possible to lose my division # if i am inactive from ranked for some odd amount of days and eventually hit bronze v? Just wondering because I am still new to the ranked system and don't know how it works completely.

That is what's called "LP decay", where after X number of days not playing ranked you start losing LP each week. They removed LP decay for Gold and below, so no, you won't drop due to inactivity.

For more information, you can refer to the support article below;

So this will be my division # for the season unless I start playing ranked again correct?

Yes. Your rank will not change this season unless you play (which you should so you can get Silver for the border/icon).

However, when the next season starts we all lose some MMR and then have to do placement matches. You will get placed where your MMR is, so if it's average or low you will start in Bronze next season; though, if you work on your MMR and get it high enough in Silver (whether you are Silver now or not) you can start in Silver next season.
