GAC squish

So CG can bump 6M accounts into the top of K1?

I don't think that's an intentional thing.  I also don't understand how it's actually connected to squish.  OK, it started happening when the 'fixed' the squish formula....but...I don't think it's actually squish doing it.

Just stop that squishing mechanism already!

The 2 things preventing this are the hard-walls at the top and bottom of leagues and that they use it to artificially control the environment.  If we got rid of leagues (or at least had league/div changes managed equally) that would prevent the need for the first part.  However, If they did that, they'd need to totally revamp how we are placed. 

The second part is a lot trickier.  The amount of positive squish in Carbonite is huge; they fast-track players out of the lower divisions.  At the other end, how many Skill Points would Sashaisha have without being squished?  He'd be in the 10s of thousands by now!  It would also mean that getting into the top 8 would be quite tough, meaning that the top end players would see very little changes in their match-ups.

I guess there are ways to get around squish, but the fixes maybe less eloquent than the problem.
