It may be interesting, but it's also less accurate. Kinda. There's pros and cons for both. The main reason I would prefer just fluffy vs fluffy only, clever vs clever only, is 1) it removes some of the replays when players are climbing the ladder from bottom to top, making it more realistic and 2) you could instead have the categories FvsF, FvsC, CvsC and so on for an even larger range (some may be small samples though). You may be able to even see how much of a gap in skill there is between high and lower rated players there are and which special lower rated players are best with. You can also see how many games where a ST is matched to a fluffy.

With the first option you would have duplicate matches crossing over different categories, making comparing league usage and w/l or races less accurate e.g 500 games are gifted vs master, this would be duplicated in both the gifted and master dataset.
