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

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.

Where was this posted originally?

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.

I don’t think anyone got demoted because of the change, but surely we will after the next round if we are still under.

This looks like if you go 2-1 in the round, winning more than you lose, you will get demoted. That doesn't seem right to me.

I don't get the reason for the skill squish. Surely we need the numbers to get spread out initially?

Squish, plus moving the divisions is creating these situations where some players who win all 3 matches might get demoted for their efforts.

I get the division thresholds must change from season to season if they want to maintain the division percentages. But why squish too?

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?

There’s a discussion of the system and potential problems (along with plenty of scholarly reading on Bayesian systems, reading which turns out to be more fun than playing most SWGOH game modes it seems) right here https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/252400/grand-arena-championships-matchmaking#latest
