Ranked Inactivity Decay- Can I delay it?

Lady Septimus·8/27/2014, 2:43:01 AM·1 votes·1,408 views

So I got a notification that I would decay in 8 days last week, and I am going to decay apparently 22 hours. I have had no time to play in the past two weeks because I have been working long shifts at a festival. I have had barely any time to play and the times I was able to play ranked, ranked would always be down. Is there anyway to compensate and delay the inactivity decay? The servers are going to go down tonight, so I won't be able at all to play this night as I can't stay up until like 4am EST to play since I have work tomorrow from 10am until midnight.

What should I do? :c I would play right now but ranked is down.

First of all, the decay is rather slow and even more as you get lower, so don't worry about falling multiple divisions.

Next, you have the jackass way. If you don't have the time to play, launch the client, start a game and AFK. You'll lose a few LP, but won't be decaying for another month.

Lastly, there's the standard way. Post a support ticket, saying that right now you don't have the time to play and that the only way you could stop your decay is to lauch the game and AFK, then pray for a positive answer.

Play a ranked game a month. Win or lose, you'll stave off decay for another month. And losing is less likely to drop you down divisions and tiers at 0 LP than decay because there's no way decay WON'T. But if your elo is fine then you shouldn't drop, either.

You had 8 days and could have taken action then, so there's really nothing right now you can really do. :\ Sorry. Just try to get in to the habit of one ranked a month, or week etc..
