New Rank Decay System
New Rank Decay System
Hello, I've seen some skillful players get pissed of because people in high elo dodge ranked games against them. I plan on having a new rank decay system for season 6 to give a more competitive experience to players who actually deserve the top three.
Why implement a new "rank decay"?
- Because top players can just sit in the top 3 with a lot of elo and not worry about losing it for a week.
My suggestion
For top 10 players...
3 days of inactivity will make you lose 3-5 ELO and will deduct 1-2 ELO in the next days (if player is still inactive)
What this suggestion will do:
"karstnator's suggestion of his elo decay plan is literally combating people just like you that only match against really easy players then do nothing once they're satisfied with their position." -nervau
Feel free to add suggestions below so I could add it here.

"this suggestion just seems like you pouting because top players aren't enslaved to play ranked with you whenever you command them to."
what? wdym?
The problem atm is that there are a lot of gold players but these players aren't playing in the Gold+ server/ these players are "contented" with their rank so they don't play.
This would be a disadvantage for Gold+ players who want to claim a spot in the top 3.
If these competitive players want to claim a spot in the rank 3, they should be worthy to defend their position as a top-tier player.

its silly for you to call game dodging fine, as youre currently the rank 1 player and literally decline anyones request to play against you. as there is no real penalty for platinum tier players who do nothing once they reach a certain rank, of course you can attempt to justify the concept behind your strategy of reaching rank 1
it just seems your excuse is that you simply dont want to fight against other people that you acknowledge would easily beat you and lower your rank.
if i had an option to only play against people that were worse than me of course i could choose it. but i dont complain and i play against everyone that wants to rank up as much as i do.
karstnator's suggestion of his elo decay plan is literally combating people just like you that only match against really easy players then do nothing once they're satisfied with their position. i can totally see why he suggested it. its also agree with it because attempting to find anyone (plat or above) to play ranked against me is literally impossible

you only have to play one match per week and the elo decay timer resets. if thats not a weak enough ranking penalty for you idk what is
i dont stalk you, ive asked you twice
and tbash doesnt even want to play against me either. he isnt even online as often as i am, so that was a pointless argument to make

3. If I sweat ranked I'll either: Drop below 1 or get more elo and reach diamond, ultimately requiring me to play every 3 days.
Think before you speak, buddy.
Also McFarbo and you seem to have this problem so why not speak to each other and fight it out in ranked since you both can't find matches, yes?
1. You can literally play once a week and the decay timer resets. This means that you can sit in that spot without losing elo for countless weeks.
2. There are a lot of gold players, as I stated a while ago, the problem is that they are inactive. I see you play in servers almost all the time and yet you wont play ranked against me.
3. Being rank 1 in a game means that you should be good. I dont see that in ya m8.

That statement... hilarious coming from the rank 1 player.

This isn't LoL, this isn't a 5v5, we dont use game characters who have different/unique abilities.

Im not mainly talking about the gold tier being inactive, my point is that the top players should be competitive and should be skillful.
