Will CG ever re-address the new skill squish?

Agreed!

 For me personally, I’ve had enough.  The past 3-4 seasons of losing 50-70 points before the season even begins has effectively squashed my desire to “try hard” in GAC any longer.  My opponents get easy wins, and I get a bunch of time back in my day.  Win-win I guess?

Just going to drop this here... yet again folks from Aurodium 1/Kyber 5 at lower GP getting promoted to Kyber 1 at 1000 points above the rest (including top players from CAW/MAW guilds).

Edited out name/guild from the player. It's definitely not their fault they skyrocketed to #1 overall player.

Nope.  They don't "need" to, so they won't.

It would be nice. I lost almost 80 this squish and have lost 80+ prior, effectively meaning two losses worth of points. Guildmates also have had 80+ points deducted in K1. It's really not fair to punish players for developers' inability to come up with a system that works, especially since GAC is the main driver for crystals. 

I’m tired of fighting to stay in kyber 1. Every time I move up, I get squished back down. What a waste of time and effort!  I wonder how long it would take to get squished down to the bottom and reappear at the top of kyber 1?
