The devs want 5* players squatting on top of all brackets from SCL 5 (and even 4...) up to 8? You're sure that's what they want?I am sure they have some idea of where they are going, and that we aren't there yet. Hopefully a well-implemented SCL 9 is indeed orthcoming, even bettwer some overall SCL tweaks after a season of this initial change, and hopefully not draconian restrictions on SCL selection.

But I think it's asking a lot for people to be expected to need to get to 1200 x 2 as a minimum without massive coordination, or even 1200 x 4 or more? Yeah, right.I don't have a problem with people making high scores, but I think it's very silly that forcing the 15 cp into top 10 is somehow supposed to be an improvement and not seen as taking it away from those who were able to hit 1200.The scores below top 10 are in the 800 to 1000 range, so after top 10, people just don't really care.And yeah I assume the answers are basically "try a different shard or SCL other than s4, SCL 9." Which then gets me blamed for stealing top 10 from weaker rosters. So, sorry in advance for that. You don't. And that's what those of us that are high-level PVP vets were trying to tell the forumites during this whole process. Before, you'd slowly creep to 900 as your roster grew and if you could do 800 you were capable of 1200 pretty easily with just a small amount of help (which was easy to receive if you were so inclined). And once you started hitting 1200, your roster grew exponentially. In this new system, if you haven't already transitioned to a big enough roster where you can already place in t10 consistently, you never will. Because those above you will grow their rosters much quicker than you will and for every step closer you get to those currently in t10, they'll take 2-3 steps further away. But this is what many on this forum were pushing for. Just look at all these threads saying thank you and great change. If you were planning on quitting this game midway through your 4-star roster, this was a great change for you. Otherwise, they've pretty much put in place a caste system and the only way out is to buy your way there.And those currently in the 4-star meta are even further in trouble because they are gonna get pressured from below because the 3-star rosters will transition more quickly than they did, but the 5 star rosters are pulling away.

The only ones thanking are ones who don’t care about points. Spoiler alert.. not you.orpeople who already burned through 40 match’s and get way more points or wins than progression provides.the real high level pvp vets still place along side with you without check rooms. Don’t insult the term vet with check room hand holders lol.

Don’t insult the term vet with check room hand holders lol. You obviously have a deep and rich understanding of this game and its players. Let's take your well-though out paragraphs in order.I'm on day 1235. I'll let others draw their own conclusions from that. Clearly, you are adept at reading comprehension. Rather than attempt to respond to this inane drivel, I'll just suggest you go back and reread the post you're responding to, because your takeaway in no way follows from anything I said. As a reminder, you rarely visit my shard, but when you did, let's just say it didn't end so well for you or those you tagged along with. But don't worry, maybe people here won't know that, so you can continue to flex your virtual muscles. Feel free to compare our rosters directly as it doesn't end so well for you--and certainly doesn't align with your vets or hand-holder conclusion (but at least you're consistent). If you don't know where to find me to compare, check the t10 of whatever event leaderboard you'd like.
