Damn this is confusing! So now, (previously) lower ranked players get to fight (previously) higher ranking players on the stairs, so that their ranking will drop while (previously) high ranking players rise?
You see, when players don’t understand the logic, flaws like these go unnoticed:
This guy noted that lower ranked players with high MMR (players with high % of wins and stop at maybe rank 20) are forced to match with higher ranked players with high MMR (also players with high % of wins, who stop at maybe legend). So this is flawed and almost went unnoticed because no one understands the system!
