GAC Squish
Back in October CG_Meathead said "I worked with the Data Team to create a new formula that will take the GAC Leagues and segment them to around the original intent of the Kyber Squish introduction....

I would like to see a response too. On the old forums I have expressed concerns about the squish from day 1 (often against a chorus of people quoting very poorly grasped mathematics at me). The underlying problem as it appears to me isn’t that the maths isn’t working but that CG have applied a mathematical solution (admittedly badly) to an arithmetic problem - and one that could quite possibly have been solved better by doing nothing
They absolutely need the squish. Without it Carbonite would be the largest league by an overwhelming margin. The primary function of the squish across all of the leagues (not just looking at Kyber) from day one has been to move new players up the ranks and redistribute them upwards. Without it more than half the player base would be clustered in Carbonite.
You mean redistribute downwards, don’t you? How many people have been squished from Kyber 2 into Kyber 1? Personally, I’ve been squished from Kyber 1 to Kyber 2 multiple times.
Nope. On average across all of GAC the squish has always moved people upwards, sometimes (like during the recent Oct-May squish) by massive amounts. The top of Kyber has always been negative, but at the macro level, the squish moves the distribution of players up even if it pulls the top end back to the rest of the pack.
