Novuake.2691 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Over 3 accounts and 9 separate times this season I have been able to consistently gather that despite what ANET has previously said decay DOES effect your matchmaking. After letting these accounts decay the average rank(in a given game) has GREALY decreased whenever decay is applied. At one point I let myself decay to like 900 rating and only saw bronze to low silver players despite the account in question being ranked at just under 1400. On another occasion a low plat account(the one im on now), saw only on average silver players after decay had applied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortrialus.3062 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 As someone who frequently lets myself decay, whenever I play after having decayed to silver or bronze, I'm still facing people I know are platinum because I recognize them either from seeing them regularly in my matches or from the leaderboard.

Really? A season ago when i was in gold 2 i was playing and got a user that went by the name branndon at the time he was a top10 ele that streamed in twitch id watch him alot. One time he got placed in my game and i was freaking out as to why am i playing a top10 when im only a gold 2. I started talking to him and asked him why hes not streaming id like to watch, he said he was only on to get ride of his decay. Juat my 2 cents of decay and match making.
