The only thing GAC cares about now when determining skill rating is wins vs loses. it initially placed you in a general bracket based on your GP. This no longer matters. What matter is if you win or ...

Your rewards are not tied to skill. They are tied directly to how much you’ve spent/how long you’ve played. Only big spenders or the most ancient of accounts can reach the highest reward tiers. Your skill is irrelevant. Strange they even call it skill based. They should just be honest and call it the “how much you’ve spent/how long you’ve played rewards based system”
Of course you need to play for some time to get the best rewards, this isn't a FPS. You're building up over years, how frustrating would it be if someone could come around the corner and defeat you with bare hands. If you want to win by pure skill go and play some COD or Overwatch or whatever is hip this week.
I agree that players that have spent/played forever should benefit in some way but what incentive is there for a new player to attempt to be competitive? How do you propose a newer player catch up?
Spending alone wont do it unless everyone near the top agrees to stop spending so they can catch up.
Simple: You don't. Why is everyone thinking that you need to catch up on players being there for years? You have your own enemies to fight with - other new players. You can still be competitive even on low end, there's just no need to target veterans except when in your own mind "being competitive" means "making everyone lose no matter how long they have played or how much
Everyone is thinking that because CG made it so by throwing every player together, new and old. Before you always could reach Kyber and feel accomplished and get the rewards, now you know you will never reach Kyber as a new player and you will never get the rewards. The main reason people want to climb now is because CG made it our crystal source. And the lower you are the lower your rewards are. So yes people don't enjoy to be stuck on the low end and watch the gap getting bigger and bigger because the accounts above you grow faster because they get more crystals.
This is exactly what the other person meant when they said there has to be incentive for new players and at the moment it is lacking.
