Q:

Hey guys

first of all, I’m not a native speaker so if you don’t understand something I wrote I’m sorry ^^‘.
So, I’m thinking about returning to pvp this season, but I’m not relly sure how the new decay system works. I’m going into my exam phase in two weeks time and I won’t have much time to play this season.
I’ve heard sth about 40 games per week you HAVE to play, or you will get decayed? Honestly, I have no idea where to look if I want to get some information about the new system…
Do these games only count towards your leaderboard position or will they affect the visible rating as well? It would irk me beyond reason if I reach high gold/low platinum like I did last season and then can’t play any longer due to exams… I would rather not play pvp at all if i get decayed into bronze cause I can’t dedicate my time to the pvp season.

So, aynways I would be grateful if you either send me a link where I can read about the new decay system for myself, or if you could explain it to me so I can decide if I want to return

Best regards,

Înkyz

You have to play 15 matches a week to get on the leaderboard.

Decay affects only you position on the leaderboard, not your actual MMR for match making.

If you don’t play for 3 days, decay starts.
Decay can sum up to -700 points and can be reduced by 100 point for each match. So after 7 matches you decay is gone.
