The variables are abstract, hence the letter notation. The examples provided use numbers with conclusions that support the data.
Except you said people were wrong when in reality (not your contrived brain) you can get R12 in 3 weeks in SoM.
You can’t get R12 in 3 weeks on a 10% decay starting at 0 RP.
You can however mathematically earn rank 12 with double RP and 40% decay given those variables, if they are being used which I will figure out on tuesday.
Other than that, I don’t care. Keep seething
SoM doesn’t have 10% decay so you were wrong weren’t you?
You said people who were claiming they could get R12 in SoM in 3 weeks were wrong.
Obviously they weren’t. But you were. Which is the entire reason I posted that you haven’t owned up to or caught on yet.
^^^^ Factually incorrect. It is in fact exactly a 1 week error in SoM.
You don’t know that, neither do I. No one has posted a bluepost source, someone posted a link to an arbitrary explanation with no sources.
If it was “factual” you’d have a source, right?
Keep seething.
I did in fact know decay was 40% and RP was doubled before I commented on your post.
You just can’t accept reality when it is in front of your face.
Show the source or data to back up your claim.
When tuesday rolls around and I lose 10% I’m going to laugh.
We already showed it to you.
There are only 2 ways to get 2X faster ranking
- 2X RP and 40% decay
- Normal RP and 10% decay
We can eliminate the 2nd choice pretty easily since people posted their RP gains in other threads and they got more than 13000 RP a week after Blizzard fixed the calculations.
It is elementary really.
I won’t get in to what I do for a living, but you don’t have to try and impress me with latex or worry about how formal/informal I was. I was just mucking about on a loose piece of paper. Have a good one.
If you were good you’d optimize it using a geometric series from 4 steps into two
I wanted to let the process be know. It’s really a pointless thing to invest any of my time into at all, be thankful you got some. Equally I’m unsure why you seem to have such a bone to pick with me? Surely you can just be polite and move on?

can you link me that bluepost that you used for the 40% decay?
Here it is,

I find it amusing you can derive the solution for the ranking equation but you can’t plainly see that it is obvious there is 40% decay and 2X RP.
There aren’t many choices to choose from. You have 2 choices. It isn’t one of them based on basic evidence.
I did not know that there would be math.
Math is not required. He is just trying to show off. Here is a calculator.
Define “2X” faster ranking" Mathematically is an ambiguous statement as one can assume equality as a function of gained RP and not time.
F1 = (1-0.4)CR + 2R
F2 = (1 - 0.1)CR + R
If both were equal in terms of earning points then F2/F1 = 1
=((0.9)CR + R)/(0.6CR + 2R))
=((0.9CR) + R)/2((0.3CR)+R)
As with 10% you saw earlier that it took 5 weeks for rank 12, and it takes 3 weeks for 40% decay and double RP.
they aren’t equivalent in terms of R earning, so define that it’s in terms of time (N) for maximum RP.
When people say 2X faster ranking they obviously mean to R14. You got book smarts but not real world smarts.
That makes “no sense”
There are an infinite amount of solutions for setting N / 2 given the RP earned and decay… so no those aren’t the only “two” solutions
