[2021] I know this only matters to a handful of players, but can master and above players get a "vacation" option once per season?

Edit: excuse the formatting from phone :-(

Decay at apex tiers is super unforgiving. It’s something we have on the roadmap to address.

Transparently it’s more to give you a bigger window of decay prevention after decaying out of Master to Diamond, but we can look at the banked days.

Just a reminder for those that aren’t sure what OP is discussing:

DECAY

When you enter a division with Decay active, you’ll be given a number of Banked Days. At the end of each day, your number of Banked Days will decrease by 1, and if you don’t have any, you’ll lose LP instead. However, you can earn more Banked Days by playing games. The amount of Days you get per win, and how much LP you lose when you decay, differs by rank:

FOR APEX TIER:

Banked Days per Game: 1 Maximum Banked Days: 10 Initial Days Before Decay: 10 LP Lost on Decay: 250 FOR DIAMOND:

Banked Days per Game: 7 Maximum Banked Days: 28 Initial Days Before Decay: 28 LP Lost on Decay: 50 If you fall at or below zero LP as a result of Decay, you'll be placed in the next-lowest division. If you're already in division IV of your tier, you'll fall into the next tier down (for example, Diamond IV to Platinum I).

Decay doesn't occur for players in Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum.
