So I’m going on vacation leaving january 21st. Will be totally unable to play before season end, and so my decay will result in my end of season MMR being @ a decayed rating.

Will my decayed rating be used in soft MMR reset next season with extra grind to do to or is it only an apparent penalized MMR score and my start of next season will in fact be my end of season score without the decay?

So

MMR + decay +1200/2
or
MMR +1200/2

I’d hate it to be the first option…

Pretty sure it will be your actual mmr without decay. The decayed mmr from what I understand is only used for your leaderboard placement.

Buddy of mine was decayed back to bronze from being a bit into silver. He can’t play everyday so it was sad.

Nothing to be sad about though. It won’t affect who he gets teamed up with or his placement in the next season, it will just affect his placement on the leaderboard. If you’re not in the top 250 though, then the leaderboard doesn’t even matter so really decay shouldn’t affect you at all. Not to mention if he starts playing again he’ll recover all of that decay in a few games.
