For ranked Rating, the Decay should be natural and not artificial.
-100 decay per day is assassine.
Natural Decay:
People should slip in rank when somebody else got your rank. If you stop playing, the others that ranked up to you will take your place and you slip until you play again.
So if many people UP their Ranking, many people DOWN their Ranking.
Giving -100 per day of decay, bring too many good players in a bad bracket… it’s kinda an easy way to smurf your own MMR to get back a couple of day before the end of season to make it really good.
Even… with out RANK system, end of season don’t means anything. The Rating should continue to get UP and Down for all after each match. Ending the leaderboard, is ending your player based. Not good. You need to get us addicted to it and make us play it forever.
I will abuse this system and drop my alt down to bronze where I will 1v5 at far just for funsies. Just being honest.
Matchmaking isn’t based on your decayed value but your value before decay is applied I thought. So you don’t get easier matches. Was my understanding.

Decay has nothing to do with matchmaking, or glicko 2. It just affects where you show on the leaderboard.
Your rating and deviation do. See these thread for an explanation.
