I had a friend who used to "ladder" like this from time to time. He would play Xbox and when he joined a game he would just put like
ERROR TYPE 5562
PLAYER NOT FOUND
then kill an scv, float the to corner, and wait it out for the guy to either figure it out or leave. I believe he also said he had a winning record and he was in gold.

Hilarious sc2 shenanigans.

Also much love for the n64 stuff, although I never played Quest myself, but the rest is golden, makes me wanna dig out OoT right now!
Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.

Why don't you?

Check out Quest 64 too while you're at it, unless you're a big-time RPG player (you'll probably just be disappointed lol).

I'm pretty sure that after 2 seasons or so your MMR is wiped, thus defaulting to Gold.

I don't believe this is the case. I ended up in bronze after many seasons of inactivity so I think the decay just continues regardless till you hit bronze.

After 1 entire season of not playing a single game, you are forced to play 5 placement matches again. This is not inactivity as in, only playing a game once every month.. it really requires you to play no games at all.

The decay goes down to bronze, so if you play hardly any games you'll get in bronze for sure. If you stop playing at all for a complete season you'll have to do 5 placement matches and get placed into different leagues, from bronze to master. Although the exact formula to determine which league is not known. (and getting in masters from 5 placement is a rarity only seen at MMR resets like a new expansion).

This i've gathered so far from MMR topic and other sources.

OT: i've dusted off the N64 for some nostalgia sessions aswell; thanks for the inspiration

Ah yes, I was aware of needing to take 5 placement matches all over again, although I usually play like ~5 games per season so I don't need to do that... maybe I should lol

And good luck with the old N64! What games are you going to play?
