correct me if i'm wrong
divisions are based on SR
squish reduces everyone's SR in k1
how could the squish not affect how many people are in k1
Only if the squish algorithm accounted for the division cutoffs and population %, which apparently it doesn’t.
What?
You go below 3610, you drop out of K2. The squish pushes everyone in k1 down, and anyone near that cutoff point will be in K2 because of the squish.
Yes.
However if the algorithm was run division by division, and actually squished the top 2% above the 3610 rating, the next x% between the next division ratings, etc, etc, it could not affect how many people are in k1.
Better yet, get rid of squish and just make the skill ratings a diminishing returns formula based on current skill rating, since it seems like that’s the intent behind squish IMO.
