My shard is 5 years old so I have some stiff competition.
There's no way to correlate this. The older the shard is, the more people that will have quit.
That is logically unsound. The idea is based in players having the ability to improve rosters with time, continuously. The evidence for it is in the top 100 ranks' rosters. They have multiple meta teams and years of investing.
There are often reasonable things to apply the "there is no real data to support that" to but then there are things that logically don't need supporting data sets to allow a reasonable conclusion.
You are right that more people will have quit. You are wrong in not acknowledging survival of the fittest applies to shard competiton, and with 5 years to develop rosters they are pretty fit. The only advantage my 1.5 years off seems to have given me is that I didn't bloat my roster too bad with unnecessary teams besides Jawas. I made a few mistakes but none that cause me to lose GAC. Almost all rounds I lose are mistakes on my part in the battles
