I don't think Recurve is explaining himself very well, but I do agree that the squish can play a role in MM. Not for the first bracket of a new season, but for the second.
Example, Player A and Player B are 300 points apart before the squish. A goes 3-0 and gains ~120 points. B goes 0-3 and loses ~120 points. They are still ~60 points apart and have no chance of getting matched up. If the squish made them 60 points closer, the same results would make them ~0 points apart, and they would have a chance of getting matched in the 2nd bracket of the season.
However, his claim that the squish is somehow punishing those that do well doesn't make sense to me. If anything, by reining in accounts from runaway SR, it allows those climbing the ranks to close the gap quicker. But maybe he sees the matchup of Players A and B in the scenario above to be a punishment to A, I don't know :shrug:
