In the beginning I recall you started at 1500 and you would only go below that if you lost games. Now it seems like you can actually get stuck way below that as you climb from zero CR? Did the system change some since say Legion even? According to this site in 2v2 NA the 50th percentile is 1368. Just seems weird that it’s so low.

You’ll have to fix the link as I can’t post them I guess.
I think they stealth nerfed it because that is the kind of company they are now. Previously I didn’t lose any points before 1400 really and now I am having to crawl to get to 1400 if I lose any matches.
A large number of the people bringing down the median are people who tried arena because rating is their only means of (non-pve) progression but have long since opted out and won’t be returning.
Do they have the data on active players?
I would imagine people who played one game are in there but I don’t know for sure.
