Removing all GP constraints from matchmaking allowed higher GP rosters to be scattered across the leagues depending on the players' competence / participation or lack thereof.

I get that l, I really do. But it doesn’t really explain why a large group of active players are all way below the top 50 in our leagues, when our rosters could easily beat any of those top 50.

It feels like the bottom of Carbonite 3 is the lost boys and girls club, where we get a mix of active players and many semi active players. Those that only play 1-2 matches per GAC. So they drop down here with us, but for the active players down here, we can’t move up to where we belong because of the large amount of semi active players. Many of my matches are just a die roll on whether or not my opponent happens to log on and play that day or not, no farming smartly, or understanding counters, or building smart teams, or decision I make at all will matter. Just, if they decide to play I lose and it not I win. Not all my matches are that way, but I’ve lost that die roll enough that it keeps me from moving up. Sorry if I’m not making sense. I don’t mean for this to be another GAC matchmaking sucks thread, it just doesn’t seem to be working as intentioned

Carbonite 3 is for sure the lost boys club of people who aren't trying much. Its unfortunately a problem you will see for quite awhile until you get into upper Aurodium. Its actually really easy to rise against these 3-5m accounts in Carbonite because they aren't really trying. Most of the time they won't show up and you just win. I have risen on my F2P account from Carbonite 4 to Carbonite 1 as a 1.3m account in a little more than 2 seasons (finished 6 pts away from Carbonite 1 at end of season 2). Just don't stress out when people out GP you by 2-3x. They most of the time won't show.
