How the sr system works on a decayed account?

Competitive Discussion
1

I reached 3505 sr couple of days ago and decided not to play it until the end of this season, and my sr decayed to around 3200 now. However, i accidentally started a game and got disconnected in the middle of that game, so my sr now is around 3150. My question here is, will that disconnection affect my placement next season, given the fact that i will be placed around 3500 next season without this accidental -50? Or just how this sr system works on a decayed account in general?

thx

You will place near 3500. Decaying does not affect your internal MMR, which is the dominant factor in where you place.

Blizzard has never said if leaving affects your internal MMR, but the leaving penalty is only 50 SR, and placement uncertainty is usually greater than that.

See How Competitive Skill Rating Works (Season 10) for more, especially the sections on Rank Decay and Leaver Penalty.
