Pretty much, would only add it would take quite a bit longer than 4 weeks to resolve. Like the post above said we have years of calibrations for all the folks who've been around for that long.
what about all the people who are inactive? I have 3-4 accounts now that are all easily 5-10 divisions worth of mmr over my actual skill, with all but one of them being inactive across 3-4 seasons and the only solution is to play a few hundred games at a mildly negative winrate where i underperform every game (but am not bad enough to drop far below that 40-45% winrate overall threshhold). Even at the start of the season. its miserable to try to get back into the game.
it was even worse when these accounts were automatically in smurf queue, but I heard that was removed.
Normal MMR decays on an algorithmically fit curve depending on how long you're away, Ranked MMR does not currently because of the implications it would have on your progression (e.g. climb for 1 month, disappear for 3 months, come back and your LP gains/losses are now awful because your MMR decayed). Depending on how high your accounts' MMRs were they'd be hit by the start of season soft MMR resets though. There are probably some creative solutions to this specific problem.
does normal mmr decay if you play exclusively arams? Wondering since it's been almost a year since I played a norm but I play aram every day.
I believe it does, but don't remember for sure.
