Lyrian wrote: This could also be possibly perceived as an anti-tanking measure as well. With a high enough rated team at a low event score, in a low difficulty-filter range, a tank team might simply be now invisible to others as the filtering system may simply exclude showing the tank team to others. Performing a "Ghast" maneuver to at least a moderate degree might be the only real way to passively tank an event now. (Note: Active tanking through retreating still works just fine, although limited by the filtering system restricting viewable opponents.)

I've literally skipped fifty times in one 5-minute stretch, and seen the same 10 players over and over again, without any variation.

Or they changed things due to the glitch so your just going to be hosed at lower thresholds so the 1100 may be out of reach again. I remember for 2 weeks where 600 was high and 750 was the max you could hope to get without getting basted and flash fried. Only time will tell.
