GAC - Why promotion/relegation mid-round?
They stealthily changed GAC so you can get promoted/relegated a division in the MIDDLE of your round of 3 matches. I can't seem to make sense of it, because you really can't be judged until you finish...

Correct, they did mention it in change notes. Maybe "stealthy" should be "unobtrusively", but I am referring to the change being made with no notice, no players clamoring for such a change, and no communication other than the change was made. If you didn't read the entire list of changes in the last update, you would have missed it (as at least one person here has admitted).
It was the fourth item in the list, with a bolded title line. Not sure how you could miss it. It wasn't stealthy, or unobtrusive, or without notice. And it's irrelevant that players didn't ask for it, because they make changes all the time that we didn't ask for.
Regardless, it doesn't really change rewards as much as people think it does, so it's not really an issue.
It may not be an issue for you, but it is for others.
Imho there are 2 reasons why:
1. CG said that you wouldn't fight people from other divisions anymore, yet with this change this is exactly what happens.
2. Of course it changes the rewards. The dailies aswell as the win rewards after each fight. I will not go further into detail about this, because I already did on another thread and I would like to keep this on topic here. ?
1. What does it matter? You were in the same division when you were matched.
2. I didn't say it didn't, I said it didn't change enough to be an issue. Dailies are obvious, and minimal. Round rewards are based on division you started the round in, and event rewards based on the division when the event started.
The rewards after a fight in the same bracket are based on the division you completed the fight in.
If you got relegated after a fight and win, the rewards is from that Division.
For you it might be not much but think about people in lower leagues. They already get a lot less than people in Kyber.
Less daylies plus less rewards for a win might be one more refresh they could make.
Also, I still think it is unfair to have people in the same bracket fight each other yet give them different rewards for a win if one had the bad luck of being relegated while in that bracket.
But what about the people who are getting more after getting promoted mid-round? Should we go back and thus cut rewards off from them?
