MacEifer said: You don't get descended upon by high champ level 4's unless you go to the open bracket. You have to decide to go to play with the big boys instead of someone making that call for you. That's the whole point of this thing. This is not some "wooah wooah my roster is bad I don't want to be C4roled anymore" post. It's about choice and transparency. You only get to play against people who are ready to play against you or at least think they are.

Say... below 7...? PvE has already been tweaked - by applying fixed levels and caps based on SCL. The same needs to be done for PvP (by restricting the player's available roster...?) The second you lock out 5s on pvp you will have a million people with 350+ boosted 4s eating all of the low players candy in lower CLs.

When the majority of your matches are either vs people way below or way above, then the games themselves become a chore.And so the system plateaus at certain progression points so that you can stay at that specific point for a while and enjoy yourself while you're working up your roster to go to the next division. And it's not like everyone will be same level there, but they should be within a certain range that gives everyone a fair shake.

Roster management is part of the game, and you haven't managed yours well at all. You have literally a 1 in a million roster and to expect the game to tailor to it is absurd. We don't need any more choice in play beyond the roster decisions we have already made. You chose to continue to pull and level 5s before you had 4s, you chose to skew your own roster, and consequently your versus play is equally as skewed.
