7.4m GP vs. 4m GP

Can we maybe, just MAYBE, acknowledge the idea that the "Skill Rating" isn't calculated by CG correctly?

To use my own example, when they kicked this off it took me exactly 1 GAC to vault from Aurodium-3 starting GP up to Kyber-3 based on my "skill" from that 1 GAC.

Come on, a 5 bracket jump that fast? No thanks, to me that is putting far too much weight on "Win/Loss" and not enough on the base GP.

The reality is you shouldn't be jumping brackets THAT fast.

Either the single battles are worth too much or the individual brackets aren't "wide" enough, IMO.

GP was only used for the initial seeding. I believe it's fully intentional that as time passes your skill rating will almost entirely reflect your past performances while this initial seeding (and your GP) will have little effect on your skill rating. I like the idea that GP shouldn't have much influence on your rating/rank.

Yes, you and others may have jumped or dropped far in the first few seasons but that could be expected. Don't worry about that. After "enough" seasons the ranks will settle and people will reach their 50/50 level/rank where they win about half their rounds - in theory at least. I believe you won't be climbing that fast any more in the future.
