GAC skill rating issues

Dear EA/CG,

Before each season there is an adjustment in GAC skill rating.  I am in kyber 1 and my skill rating dropped this time from 3655 to 3404, that is a 251 point drop for no apparent reason.  I have spend a lot of time and money to climb to kyber 1 and now I have no shot to get back there for several months for no clear reason.  

This is a bug!  The squish was applied multiple times to my account.  Everyone else drops 70-90.  251 is 4x this.  There is no way this is working as designed.  Please fix this.  Its totally unfair.

Also if you check the GAC leaderboard there are dozens of accounts ranked very high that have been placed there by some error in your algorithm. Those accounts have no business being in kyber 1 and they push everyone else down.  This bug has been happening for months.  It is unfair to those who put the time into this mode.    Can you please consider fixing this.  GAC is many peoples favorite game mode, its why we still play and these bugs make it unenjoyable.

Ally code 286-934-458

    I would guess the squish gets re-applied when one re-saves their roster before the lock?  Not sure but this is clearly MAJOR BUG.  There is no way this is working as designed. 

  • +1  can we not have this closed as 'not a bug, WAI'.  If the current squish is working as intended (which I very much doubt as it isn't sustainable) can we get some transparency and an explanation as to why?

    On past form though, CG have found it very difficult to balance the squish in Kyber and have had numerous troubles.  It's highly likely that the current squish is bugged.

    Either way, we deserve some sort of explanation.

    Unfortunately this will be closed just like the other ones I posted below. I've tried to get traction on this but CG doesn't care it is very evident to me, this to will be closed on Monday saying NOT A BUG! So good luck in trying to get a real answer from CG why they don't care about GAC!

    This is 100% an issue and this is yet another reason GAC needs to be fixed.  I posted this a few weeks ago and it was closed due to not a bug.  Well this is a huge bug so is my post.

    Yet another GAC bug closed without any explanation!

    So, I saw this was closed as "working as intended," and I honestly don't understand how this can be considered acceptable behavior. If this is truly by design, then I think it deserves another review because it's having a significant negative impact on legitimate players.

    Before I had the chance to comment, the thread was closed. If this is really the intended design, I know a lot of players who are going to be extremely disappointed with what is arguably the best game mode in SWGOH.

    It also seems like every time the community reports a GAC issue, the thread is simply closed with "working as intended," but without any explanation of why. From a player's perspective, that sends the message that GAC isn't a priority and that CG isn't interested in addressing legitimate concerns about the mode.

    If these issues truly aren't going to be fixed, then maybe it's time to reconsider the future of GAC altogether. It would be interesting to see how much player engagement is affected if the game's flagship competitive mode continues to be treated this way.

  • Be glad it was only 251 points they squished me 342 points from 3874 all the way down to 3542 in Kyber 2.   I finished the season ranked 146 in all of Kyber 1.  I reported this on the day it happened and I was told it was working as intended which is such bull.  I feel for you and for everyone else that puts the time and effort into Gac only to have all their hard work taken away. It’s a Bug it definitely is a bug especially when this happens.  This needs to be investigated and explained. Why is there a huge discrepancy in the squish why are some players squished 70 points and some 342 it makes no sense

    It's working as designed. The skill rating values were updated few months ago

    Could they give us a reason as to why?  Also, how long they expect it to stay like this? As it doesn't look sustainable.

    can you explain how it’s designed? How it takes 1 person down 50 points and then someone else 300 and leaves accounts that are 3 million GP in the top 10 of Kyber 1
