Testing changes to ranked inactivity notifications

[Added 5/22 ~5:45 PDT]





Riot Mirross with Here'swith information on changes to the ranked inactivity notification:

"Hey everyone,

We're testing some changes to inactivity (decay) in the upper tiers of ranked play. Previously, you'd get a one-time notification as you approached the decay threshold, but now we're dialing up the frequency of inactivity warnings to ensure the risk of decay stays front-of-mind. We just want to make sure players don't simply forget to maintain the ranking they worked so hard for.

CHANGES:

Players in danger of ranked decay will receive inactivity warnings every time they log in until becoming active again. Previously this notification occurred just once.

MASTER & CHALLENGER SOLO: Decay starts after 10 days of inactivity, with warnings during the final 3 days

MASTER & CHALLENGER TEAM: Decay starts after 28 days of inactivity, with warnings during the final 9 days

PLAT & DIAMOND SOLO AND TEAM: Decay starts after 28 days of inactivity, with warnings during the final 9 days

Let me know your thoughts!

-Riot Mirross"
