Best way to babysit rank until season ends?

Competitive Discussion

Don’t want to risk another losing streak just want to play enoughto not decay what’s the best way to get the minimum games required in?

If you don’t want to play then don’t, decay doesn’t matter. You will place around 3.4 next season if you decay all the way down to 3k and go 5-5.

Wait really? Can someone confirm this?

Squirrel is correct. See How Competitive Skill Rating Works (Season 13) → Rank Decay for details.

Also, as that section says, playing 4.67 games / week will prevent decay. To see if decay is imminent look on the right hand side of the information screen of the competitive play card.

P.S. Ignore S23.

Matchmaker remembers where you were when you started decay and you’ll be placed in rigged, easy to win matches that will get you back to where you were.

Make sure you take notice of how easy the matches are, you will barely have to try to win.
