Do you lose rank after inactivity?

[yacabo]

I last played about a month ago with the rank Silver 4, and I come back, win a match and I rank up to Silver 3. This was after a particually long gap in between MM matches where I was GN4 and found myself suddenly Silver 2.

After a month of inactivity you derank, yes.

But why!? Does Valve assume you lose skill after not playing CS:GO?

28 days and you lose your rank

After 28 days your rank goes dormant, but you don't lose your actual rank it is just hidden. If you play and win you will reactivate your rank and it should remain the same, but if you go inactive for longer you start losing your rank over time.

Losing rank for going inactive makes little sense. If those players lose skill while away, then their rank will be adjusted itself when they lose.

As if there isn't enough smurfing going on in CSGO that Valves system needs to derank good players just because they stop playing.

All that does is punish the lower ranked players that person has to play against when they start playing again.

We may play other FPSs or equivalent too, it's not like we forget how to shoot a virtual gun.

You lose your rank and then it starts to decay. Anyone who has been gone a few months would come back to a significantly lower rank.

No idea, I went inactive for more than a year and went from global to sheriff.
I played it back up again and went inactive once more. Just a couple days ago I decided to play again, which ranked me into supreme. So I had to rank up yet again, kinda getting tired of it really.

What I actually never understood was my smurf account, which only deranked to supreme on my year+ inactivity. I haven't played both accounts, yet the main one ranked into sheriff.

Took me 3 wins and 1 draw to get back from supreme. Given the comments here, I have to play 1 game every month to stop this ♥♥♥♥ so I don't have to rank up the entire time, is that correct?

The other guy did hit the nail tho, there is no point deranking players. There is no leaderboard, all it does is fk over the lower ranked players. Every time I ranked down, I just played it back up again. Given my OCD of I have to get the rank back, this forces me to do more MM games than I enjoy...

You probably started your smurf when you were already a high skilled player. The game then assumes that your smurf has a very stable high skill level, while your main with which you climbed the ranks at a much slower rate, I suppose, would have more variance in its assumed skill level.

They should certainly make the decline of ranks a little slower, that much I am willing to agree. But when I came back after a long time of inactivity I certainly did not perform as well as before. Not as bad as the skill rating system placed me though.

After the inactivity the rank is removed. You will be reevaluated on your next mach , so you played as a silver 2. Don't worry you will rank up back soon

To start with, my first match after that gap was with silver 2s, second I assume when you said soon you meant less than the age of this thread.
