Good news: we're up players overall in GAC; we had join levels like last summer. Seriously, when does it end? We predicted under 3000 when squish hit - I guess we were overly optimistic.

And again: The real problem here is that you can't (or at least shouldn't) use a linear squish formula on Kyber, because all of kyber 1 and kyber 2 will always be out on the edge of the distribution and therefore pushed downwards. So please, please CG, fix your formula! Kyber 1 needs ~2500 players back. Once that happens, kyber2 will be down ~4000 players that they need back as well. And once those corrections are made, we have to be very careful to _NOT_ apply a large, universally downward pressure on the upper end of the kyber distribution, since no players can be brought down from higher leagues to make up those missing numbers the way they are in lower leagues.

I think we get the numbers after the first round. Whatever the result it really needs to be posted in general and not this sub-forum that few people read. The failing squish formula is one of the biggest issue this game has ever faced and it's falling on deaf ears. In fact the majority of players don't even realize what is going on and those that do think it's a whale only problem that doesn't affect then. Then they post wondering why their 1 gl account is facing a 6 gl account. Where do you think these accounts are coming from? They're getting squished continually downward.

This is partly true. However, consider the player with 1 GL that is punching above his weight and hanging on for dear life in Aurodium. I know the because my alt is one of them. As he clings on for dear life in A3, more and more accounts are getting pushed down to Aurodium from Kyber because of the squish. So while the the 1 GL 4m gp player was used to fighting 5-6m gl accounts with 2-3 gls 6 months ago, he's now facing 7-8m gp accounts with 4-6 gls every round. Sure some of these guys are fighting each other as before but they are in Aurodium because of the squish.

Can’t wait to get an update to this…we making bets if it’s over or under 0,5% already?@CG_Tusken_Meathead @CG_SBCrumb You should point the devs to this, certainly a more important issue than Traya Omi performance vs LV and Scythe AI targeting!

December Squish: We're down to 2776 in kyber 1! 0.88% of players.

No, those were not intentions. Those were the details of how the squish worked.

Lol ok, consider me lawyered I guess.

Meaning you're hiding behind a technicality, but that's fine.

No I understood. But it was a great opportunity for a HIMYM reference.

More like how the squish was supposed to work. I don't put as much blind faith in CG that this is working as intended considering the number of bugs and unintentional interactions lately...

It's been this way for a year. People have asked about it. CG has said nothing further. It clearly does what they want or they would have changed it by now.

Or they just don't care enough to change it and are just letting it ride.

Unless they comment that it's doing what they intend, I'm gonna choose to believe they don't know it's not working as intended or are technically incapable of fixing it. It's not like they haven't ignored other things that were broken for a year or longer. (Missing button bug for instance)

You do realize that the 1 GL vs 6 GL part doesnt have much to do with the squish right. That happens because some bigger accounts are inactive and drop down.

Those that go 5/4 will just be battling the same opponents for the most part since the squish affects those around you equally. So where you battle them in k1 before at some point you'll just battle them in k2.

Exactly my experience aswell.
They are not just facing each other but also the players that were there before they fell down.

My opponents definitely got bigger and bigger.
