Quick question on decay
After you start to decay, do you lose LP on that same day or after a week passes?

Platinum, Diamond, Master, and Challenger are all subject to decay. In Platinum and Diamond, after 28 days of inactivity in any ranked queue, you'll begin losing LP based on your current tier. Every seven days after that, you'll lose LP until you play a match in that queue. Diamond players lose 50 LP each time they decay, platinum players lose 35.
Master and Challenger work a bit differently:
Each game you play in Master and Challenger tier is stored as a "banked game," up to a maximum of 10.
Each day, 1 banked game is removed from your reserves.
When your banked games reach 0, you'll lose 100 LP per day until you bank more games.
Wins and losses both count toward banked games; all that matters is that you play. You can track your banked games in your profile, in the Ranked tab.
If you fall at or below zero LP as a result of decay, you'll be placed in the next-lowest division. If you're already in division V of your tier, you'll fall into the next tier down (for example, Platinum V to Gold I).
Decay doesn't occur for players in Bronze, Silver, or Gold. RIOT FAQ .DECAYING
