Rank decay is just an excuse for bad players who cant get into top 100 board. Just play start of season if you cant reach gold rank anytime soon thats on you as a player, because gold/plat is that range you want to be to get alot of matches.

ive done plenty of Seasons where i just get to Diamond and stop because top 10 and and even rank 1 isn't rewarding enough, i could do other stuff in the actually game then Feast.
