Not sure how I feel about the squishing. New kyber 1 threshold is 3610. So I need to go 2-1 in the first week not to be demoted. If I go 1-2 I’ll be 8-7 overall. It’s also possible I get demoted going 2-1 though that should increase my rating enough to stay in kyber 1. I was at 3608 before squishing iirc I am now 3578. This is a jump of 70 points to the threshold.

From 100 points above treshold I went to -20 and I'm close to getting demoted, thanks CG.

It is total bull. They said it wouldn't affect us being demoted from divisions but of course it will

I suspect they did compared to their stated goal of only 10% in division 1 of each league. I did suspect an increase in the threshold given the 10/25 percentages in division 1 and 2. That said I don’t think 6-6 accounts should need to go 3-0 in the first week, as it appears they will, in order to not be demoted. Edit: recalled my rating incorrectly I was at 3638 so dropped 60 points while they increased the threshold by 70.i went 6-6 in kyber 1, if i go 0-3 and lose 31-34 skill points for every loss, i still stay in kyber 1. I’m assuming you are above 7.7 million gp and therefore started with a 3810 rating. Yes that didn’t apply to you but to those that started with the 3569 rating at the beginning of season one.

I certainly understand that point of view and don’t really disagree with it. That said, we will see stranger matchups than we did last season. As players with bad records but high gp rosters (whether by lack of engagement, bad roster decisions, or bad luck) start to meet players with lower gp who had good w/l records for the opposite reasons.

Went from 12 points away from Kyber 1, to 126... 1 Win away for increased rewards to now 4...Why do you need to squish skill ratings after the first GA...Thanks

Blows my mind 7 wins in last K1 and I’m know under new threshold to stay in K1…

There are plenty of legitimate complaints to make about game design choices, but I’m not convinced this is one of them. The matchmaking system will inevitably require tweaks to the skill point cutoffs to different leagues and divisions. Every player in K1 has the opportunity to compete to stay there. Isn’t competition to stay in the top league expected and kind of the point?

I’m now under the threshold for K1 but still showing as in K1…how’s that work? When do I get booted, after the first battle?

I lost 49 points in the squish and now need 97 to stay in K1. My last 3 battles of the last round had shifts of 33, 32 and 31 points. How is it possible for me to maintain the same division I was in before even going 3-0? Unless point values will start higher at the beginning of this round?

In general, this will not have any impact on your Grand Arena experience. This will not change what Division or League are in. It will not impact your ability to reach the next Division (IE if you could win your next round and move up to the division you will still do so). It will not affect your daily rewards payouts.

Sure looks like this is not true in my specific case. Any insight @CG_SBCrumb_MINI ?

I was in the middle of kyber 3. Now I'm 20 points from demotion.

Is there a reference somewhere on how much point we get for a win and how much for a loss? Is it still just speculation on how it is calculated?

If it has no impact at all, why would they change it in the first place?

I've seen a lot of sentiment related to the rankings, etc
So, I think some broader messaging surrounding that might be in order. I'm gonna work w Crumb tomorrow on what that might look like.

Well, did anyone get demoted after the skill squish happened? If the demotion will happen after next round based on your performance, then I guess we can't technically say CG is outright lying.

Anyway, if it's CG's intention to keep fixed percentage of player base in each league/division, then expect the threshold to be adjusted each season.
