Hidden MMR is your true skill, brother, while visible rank is just the badge they give you for the climb. Breaks make your hands stiff and your reactions slow, so decay hits you even if the MMR says you're still good. And smurfing? It creates a traffic jam for real players trying to move up.
I know because my own rank decayed to Platinum during my college exams, but my MMR stayed Diamond. Now I'm stuck fighting plats who play like diamonds and diamonds who play like smurfs, all while my father asks if this *game* will pay my sister's fees. The system's logic doesn't see the rust on my fingers.
