I’m happy things are changing but like many holding my breath on the results. The one thing I wish I knew is why there is a need for a squish. Gac already has seasons, so just set each league at 20 percent and each division at 10/25/30/25/10 levels and run the season. Rinse repeat and rinse. I’m sure there are reasons why this doesn’t work but I can’t see them.
Because skill ratings don't reset. So, at either end of the global ladder, you have accounts that can accumulate (or lose) skill points to an eventuality where they can lose constantly and not change position, or win constantly and not move up. Squish is supposed to keep the ratings within a competitive range.
You’ve explained a reason for an adjustment to the skill rating not a reason for hard level entry points to the various leagues and divisions. It’s also a flawed argument imo. No matter the amount of points they take away from Aesop, they’ll remain in the top 5 as long as they want.
The squish doesn’t make it easier for me to get to the mountain top. It just makes it look not as steep.
