Another season begins, another squish is happening.
You gotta stop this, this is the 4th time in a row that I'm losing 70 points or so.
You have no idea how frustrating it is to fight opponents with much more GP than you, win more than lose, and yet lost points and eventually drop to k3 instead of climb to k1 because of this nonsense.
You got to stop the squishing.
I still don’t understand: why am I ALWAYS paired up with someone at least 2 mil gp more than me. It’s so frustrating!
To that I can actually answer: consider it as 2 parameters: roster value and player value. Player value is how well do you plan, how well do you execute, and how often you actually play (someone who plays all the matches will have higher score than someone who only play at 5v5 etc.)
The total skill rating is the sum of all those parameter. That is, your opponents might have better roster, but you are a better player: you plan better, you execute better, you care more and therefore you achieve more, equivalent to 2M GP more...
Thanks so much! I participate in every single event just to get rewards and apparently I beat some very high-roster players by pure luck. I mean, GAC is my favorite game mode and I spend all my time and effort in improving my GAC-centered roster so maybe that’s why I get such a high skill rating. Anyway, thanks so much for the insight!
People need to stop GP comparisons. GP does not equate to similiar or better roster. If it was say 4m to v 10m gp then ok but stop the rhetoric that its unfair. Lots only do the minimum so thats likely why youll face a higher gp
Tell me you have high GP without telling me you have high GP.
We can also consider it that we have good rosters… that we’re competing with heavier weights than we appear we should. I’m in a similar boat, often.
Same situation here ,it's very defeating knowung no matter how well you do you will lose most of your progress via the squish
Well that's just not true. If you win all 9 battles that's like 300 SR you gained. You'll only lose about 70 or so to the squish.
Also, why do people care so much? If you win 6 you're still climbing.
Bottom line is that due to the squishing it's impossible to me to climb to k1, which I really want to
I won 8 out of 9 battles last season and I lost 55 points today
I finished 3v3 in kyber 1 with 3611 or so points. Started this season down in the 3500s. Won my first round and got demoted to kyber 2 as the win only got me back to 3607……. The squish is terrible and should not happen
In recognition of my today’s win I have been demoted do K3. Thanks CG, you know how to motivate a player 😂
Another great example - dont bother if you do not understand this
There are just X number of players in K2. It is not something that counts if you win or not. Just be top X.
If you are in position x+1 you are not in K2.
If you win you can still get demoted
1) If you are close the demote line
2) Other players won more thus your relative position dropped
Example to keep it simple
You are in 4th place (1-4 stay, 5-8 drop) in 8 player Kyber 2
Each player plays vs other
You win player who is 8th -> you get some points
Player who is 5th wins 1st player -> he gets alot of points and gets ahead of you
As result 5th player moves to 4 and you move to 5 even when you won.
-> you get demoted as you are 5th.
This is easily possible as there are thousands of players in each league.
Same boat but they have the same GAC ranking just a 1+ mill more GP I was in k1 now near bottom end of K2. I wonder if the same thing is happening above causing K1 type roster to drop to K2 ? No idea but squishing begets squishing when i drop to K3 they will say the same thing about my roster ad-nauseam.
The silence from CG is pretty evident how they feel about PvP modes. I remember a post a long time ago of them stating they will monitor squish…after they implemented the upward squish….but not a post since.
Now most people are going the opposite direction,
And still have Aurodium players in K1 6 months after CG said they would look into it.
To be fair, there was a lot of silence from them before they did the "reverse" squish. So business as ususal.
It was only the end of October when they last said something. Not even a year. 😁

Amen. I had a 3700+ skill rating, am winning more than losing, and i keep getting squished 70-80 points every time. I'm now in the mid ranges of kyber 2 simply due to getting squished 300 or so skill points in the last 4 squishes. If you win more than lose, you should be able to climb. But not in CG's world where they reward investment and winning with pain and suffering (aka naboo raid)
No one has yet come out to say whether the squishing of the past few seasons is as intended or not or was just a bug introduced.
Don't worry mate as some point you'll get like me for years so passionate about the game then you'll almost completely lose the love for it. Shame really.
I know, I feel like a broken record myself now...
