So the squish is getting squishier.
But what about my placements?
The squish matters little if you don't know what you're placing in GA.
And won't know until the squish happens and everyone is signed up for the next round.
Right now the last round of each GA isn't taken into account for your final placement.
Not even in terms of reward.
Example; Going into my last round I was at 3799 rating, #164.
I won the round and bumped up to 3833 rating, but my placement is still 3799 and #164.
End of season rewards where distributed as 3799 and #164, despite winning the last round.
In this case it made no difference except my e-peen is an inch smaller because I'm not officially top 100.
But in the case of being top 50 or not, top 250 or not. And in the case of being promoted to another league, I would see substantial loss of rewards.
This is not a new problem, and has hilarious results. My guildmate was #160 in k2 after match 8, then won and got promoted to k1. Because the rewards placed him at #160, but then in k1, he got top 250 rewards. I've also benefitted from being in top 500 and lost, so would have gotten normal k1 rewards but instead got the 50 more crystals. At this point Im not holding my breath that it ever becomes a high enough priority for them to fix. I'm much happier that I don't have to stress about teetering between k1 and k2 (as I went 0-6 in matches 3-8 last 3v3 after peaking at like top 250 and thus dropped like a rock way into k2).
