Just a quick question on how ELO works.
Seems like when I log off then log back on the next day my ELO drops.
I've also noticed when I leave a game my ELO drops.
Do I need to afk in-game to keep my elo?
And, do i need to finish the entire match (all rounds) to stop my ELO dropping?
I tested it when I logged off last night; noting down my ELO. Then when I logged on today it had dropped.
I also went in-game, played 10 or some matches, noted my ELO and left then realised my ELO had dropped.
There is an elo degradation: Everyone loses 1% of their elo daily.Quote:

You lose elo when leaving a game in 3 cases, these happen so you can't dodge/avoid losing elo by leaving:
- You're alive in duel -> leaving is seen as dodging/loss
- You're alive in TDM and have already received damage -> leaving is seen as dodging/loss
- You have died that round in TDM and the round has not ended yet -> leaving is seen as dodging/loss
No worries, thanks for the clarification.
I agree with everything the way it is. Seems like a fair system keeping players active and in check.
