Elo decay in placements

06/22/2015 14:20 AirFight111#1
Hello guys,

I wondering if anyone can help me out with a question to Elo-Decay:
As we all know you will lose LP for not playing a ranked game for 28 days (this counts for platinum, diamond, master, challanger).
Does anybody know what is gonna happen during your placements?
For example you are playing 9 out of 10 games and stop playing ranked for 2 month?

Important: If you post in this thread, let me know if you are 100% sure or think it should be like this and that! Also post a link if you got a Riot source.

Thank you

Well, logically, it wouldnt matter, since during your placements, you dont have an elo, you just have mmr, and mmr doesnt decay, so i'd assume that it doesnt matter how long you wait with ur placements :)

nothing will happen.
played 4 games on a smurf and like 3 months later another 6 placements
just by logic, thers's no way that something would happen

While in your provisionals, you are not currently ranked and therefore have nothing to decay. Also, if you place gold or under, riot released a recent update where you will no longer decay. It only applies to plat+
