But I just got to the division that I wanted to reach. I heard that if I lose a match, I will lose my division as well, I pretty much dont have a choice?
If you lose a match, you lose a division ONLY when your skill rating is near your division threshhold. In your case, for example, since you’re in Gold—you will lose your division if your skill rating falls below 1350.
Now, let’s say you get to platinum. Platinum is for people who have 1650 – 1949 skill rating. If you get 1640 and you lose a match, you do NOT lose everything. Your rating just goes down a bit.
As far as decay, yes you will lose skill rating bit by bit after 3 days. It’s important to have, though. This is so players are incentivized to keep playing and maintain their rating and rank so they don’t stay permanently at the top. The decay gives others a chance to catch up to them.
