Changing league repartition.

[TheGreatErenan]

I agree with lawtai's assessment, and I really think you guys need to listen to this point. You seem to be laboring under the assumption that changing the thresholds of the different leagues will somehow change the level of activity in the lower leagues.

It won't.

If you raise the bar for being gifted, then a bunch of people who are just barely above that level will be demoted. But these demotions would be purely nominal. These players would still have the same hidden rankings, so matchups would not be affected. Those players would still be matched up against each other and not against the clever and fluffy players who keep getting matched up against inactive players.

To sum up, players with low hidden rankings are matched up against players with low hidden rankings, not players with the same league title. Demoting players won't affect who is matched up with whom.
