There are more people getting squished down into the lower kyber brackets, so Kyber 1 is shrinking all the time.
This is pushing the bigger GP people who aren't as good at the game lower into the lesser kyber brackets.
I win my games at k2 and get promoted back or float around here.. only to keep facing more and more opponents with 5-6 GLs.
Kyber 1 has far less people in it now because of squishes that happen.
I wish I could explain the squish in greater detail but CG doesn't give us any info on what actually happens or affects it, I'm just looking at the ranking numbers for players in my guild near the threshold and their overall rank is just under 7k now at 3621 rating (3610 is the K1 cutoff)... this used to be waaaay more people in here.
Kyber 2 has around 20,000 people so more are getting pushed down
K1 isn't shrinking (as a percentage) it stays the same.
Pushing people who aren't as good down? Actually it's their performance that causes them to drop, but that's literally the point.
The squish happens AFTER the round starts, and doesn't change rankings, so you haven't shown how it possibly affects your matches.
Do you have any data that it isn't shrinking on percentage? I don't, but I vaguely remember k1 standings in 5 digit numbers at the beginning. Either way, the above data point I gave of 3611-7332th spot can be used whether or not this is happening next time we get to it.
The entire purpose is to keep the percentages in each division/league within the stated ranges. I don't remember them exactly, but they have been posted.
That's the stated purpose. What I'm asking is if that's what's really happening. By posted you mean the intended % in each league was posted somewhere?
Yes. For example, I think 10% of kyber should be in k1.
The closest I can find to that statement is here:

"Your Skill Rating will be adjusted after each event and the group of opponents you face will be matched based on your Skill Rating. All players that finish the season in the Division 1 (the top 10% of the League) are promoted into the next League up and players in Division 5 of their League (the bottom 10%) will move down. (NOTE: You will not face another player outside of your League)"
Is this what you mean?
Could be. We've had the numbers a long time without question, I don't really remember where they came from to start with.
Ok then, can't say that was convincing the % in each division/league is staying constant.
Since the playerbase doesn't suddenly expand or contract the next -just at the k1 cutoff- also be something close to 7300th spot. I'll try to keep in mind and report back on next squish.
That's how it's meant to work, and there's been no reason to doubt it. But by all means, knock yourself out.
