Does your skill decay?

Do you think you get rusty (opposite of getting better) when you play other modes, even blind pick or normal draft?

No, but yes at the same time. So im b4 right now (s3 in s4 got placed in b4) so if i play norms i'm basically playing with people who I play with in ranked. However lets say a Diamond main makes a smurf, levels that smurf to 30 and only plays on that specific smurf for a week. Now, when they come back... They preform poorly, why? Because the (lets call them silver) players that diamond guy was playing with didnt punish him for mistakes he made. The other diamond players will, so he kinda becomes "sloppy" in a sense with his playstyle and..... That basically means he is now worse. Now, if you dont play at all of course you will become worse, there are many reasons why. (patches, new metas, new items, new playstyles). To wrap this up, yes your skill can decay by playing other modes or against different people.

So it is okay to say that your skill also decays by playing many different champs and roles?
