Will the GA ranking problem be adressed soon?

This has been discussed in a couple of previous threads. It’s a legacy issue from the switch between the old and new ranking system.

I thought this only started happening when they started the new squish a few months back, unless that's what you meant by "new ranking"?

I had thought it was the Squish when we were discussing it in January (I don’t really like the Squish or any Bayesian shenanigans which tend to throw up more problems than they solve) but the following comment from @StarSon sounded convincing to me:

That is so bizarre. Guess CG is finally going to have to show their math on how they actually calculate rankings.

Unless it’s not wai.

No they don't, because it's not a squish and has nothing to do with calculations. These are just accounts that had that SR before they changed things and then they didn't join for a long time. Now they are joining GAC but sitll have an inflated SR so get put at the top of K1 (and sprinkled elsewhere as well). They'll fall quickly enough, though it's still a super bummer for the people that don't get the easy wins up there.
