When will we finally hear something about the skill squish in gac?

More and more players fall out of kyber 1. (Guess we'll be somewhere around 1000 now) Everyone knows the reason is an error in the calculation of the skill squish at the start of each gac season, but it is ignored by cg so far. No post, no reaction in all previous forum posts about this issue.
Even the 50th ranked player is only 260 skill points above relegation now. If you are in the top 900, a loss in first round will already throw you down to kyber 2. I believe it starts to hurt even the top players now.

    We also don't know for sure that CG actually sees this as a problem considering they've maintained their position up to this point

    Sorry but is this a joke? The problems with the squish have been a topic for months. Discussed on several platforms. Are you now really telling that the team isn't aware of the fact that K1 is slowly dying?

    I'm not a big fan of public complaints, i totally get that bugs and mistakes can happen but the implication that you were not even aware of the problem is a huge concern in my eyes

    You are making an incorrect assumption that this is the first time. Don’t kill the messenger.


    I'm not killing the messenger. I'm voicing critcism about the communication. And it's meatheads job to communicate.

    If CG's isn't aware of the fact that the population of k1 shrank to like 1000 people (not sure about the exact number but it should be in this range) over the last months they are doing a bad job. Thats something you can see in a minute. And that has been a topic discussed for months, here in the forums, on discord or by some content creators. And if they really arent aware of it the criticism is well deserved.

    If the squish is wai cause they thought the population of k1 is too big they need to communicate so we as the players can make our own assumptions according to it. If it isn't wai, what i think, they need at first to realize that there is a big problem. What it seems they don't are. Then they need to at least communicate if there are problems with fixing it. Nothing happened here for months. This is like the worst communication possible


    The fact that he posted in this thread at all is more of a public acknowledgement from CG then we've seen so far. He also wasn't specific about what concerns he was bringing to what team. He could have been responding to the title of this thread - meaning he would bring it to the attention of the powers that be that we'd like to hear something about this issue.

    Also, we already know that they know about this. If you don't know that, then you are either just discovering this issue, or you haven't been paying very close attention.

    Meathead posted - he said he'd do something - which is far better than him not posting and not doing anything. Take the win, however small. All we can do is wait. I honestly wouldn't expect to hear anything about this outside of a RA or SotG post.


    I have to admit i'm not reading the forums on a consistent basis, yeah. So i might not know every statement here. But it was meatheads statement 3 days ago that he will bring it to the appropriate team. So yeah, i'm implying here that they were either not aware of it or ignoring it on purpose. Both would be disastrous.

    We aren't talking about a small bug here. We are talking about a major issue affecting the whole player base as it is a foundation for the whole ingame economy. This is an issue that needs to be adressed asap. And yeah, if they really weren't aware of it till 3 days ago i'm completely shocked. Thats insanely bad work. Is it good that they finally publicly acknowledged it? Yeah. But it is a huge concern if it really took that long

    I might take this small win if it weren't the first time we'd been told the issue was being relayed to CG. IIRC, Ultra passed along info about this a couple months ago.


    I think you answered your own question.


    We know that someone on the forums says they told them.

    You don't believe Ultra?
  • Squish the top. Sqish them all down to their boring little farmed teams.

    The problem with this game is that gp matters little. Boost all the weak characters so we can have hundreds of counters to every team, so that every toon has a real use.

    But hey, no, the game brings zetas, people complain, game brings omicrons, players complain, gear economy asked for, people complain...so on and so on till datacrons renders most of previous useless, people complain.

    Skill squish? It will forever continue,maybe in a different name, different format but they need those at the top to spend that patreon and crystal income. Get real.

    I just want to know why they have Kyber 1 - 1,000+ rewards bracket? There can’t be 1,000 Kyber 1 left anymore. There were like 5k to start.

    FWIW I’m currently in the top 125, and I’m 3 skill squish away from relegation. It’s just not possible to stay Kyber 1 with their current format, long term.
