Well, the idea is that if you were at Position XYZ before the Squish, you'd still be at Position XYZ after the Squish. This means whatever Percentile you were at doesn't change. If Leagues and Divisions are based on Percentiles, the Squish isn't going to change that.
From what others have gathered, though, it does seem the percentiles for each Division have been changing over time, which doesn't make a lot of sense. I'd be curious what CG's explanation is.
In any case, the Squish isn't the cause of redrawing the Percentiles.
I’m not sure if you are legitimately confusing percentile and percentage between different parts of the discussion?
The percentage in each division and league is changing. Percentile is no longer linked well to rewards because of that change in percentage.
Also the same skill rating can have a different squish based on your league - it’s a little bizarre. See the circled region of the squish chart
Yeah, maybe I should use "Ranking" instead of "Percentage", which in my mind I'm converting Rankings to Percentage locations on the spectrum.
But still then what you say doesn't correctly fit to the problem. The problem is not if your position is the same after the squish, as has been pointed out that position only changes after the first fight.
It is about the position in your League and division. If you get constantly points removed with every squish, you would have to win more fights to balance out those lost points. That's why people get relegated to the division below even if they won their first round which wouldn't happen without the squish, because you would stay in that division obviously. Nobody can tell me that they think this is ok. I -might- find it ok if we wouldn't have the system's 50% win/loss rate because then at least you would have the chance to win more fights but as it is now, you get points taken away while you are artificially set up to lose half of your rounds. You just can't balance it out after a while and on top of that higher accounts from above you fall down to where you are, making it even more difficult.
I started noticing that the squish always removes points from me around June or July last year. The first 3-4 times I didn't think much of it, because I thought maybe bad luck, but when I realised that it seems to happen with every squish, I started documenting it with screenshots.
Ever since then I lost
In October - 26
November - 22
December - 26
January - 20
points
Add to that the months before I didn't take screenshots and let's be nice and just say I "only" lost 20 in 3 months, then it's 60 more...
That makes 154 points removed. The area of a division in Aurodium is give or take 100 points, so that makes 1 1/2 divisions.
I think this is unacceptable.
