December Squish: We're down to 2776 in kyber 1! 0.88% of players.
Good news: we're up players overall in GAC; we had join levels like last summer.
Seriously, when does it end? We predicted under 3000 when squish hit - I guess we were overly optimistic.

So please, please CG, fix your formula!
Kyber 1 needs ~2500 players back.
Once that happens, kyber2 will be down ~4000 players that they need back as well.
And once those corrections are made, we have to be very careful to _NOT_ apply a large, universally downward pressure on the upper end of the kyber distribution, since no players can be brought down from higher leagues to make up those missing numbers the way they are in lower leagues.
You do realize that the 1 GL vs 6 GL part doesnt have much to do with the squish right. That happens because some bigger accounts are inactive and drop down.
Those that go 5/4 will just be battling the same opponents for the most part since the squish affects those around you equally. So where you battle them in k1 before at some point you'll just battle them in k2.
Exactly my experience aswell.
They are not just facing each other but also the players that were there before they fell down.
My opponents definitely got bigger and bigger.

You should point the devs to this, certainly a more important issue than Traya Omi performance vs LV and Scythe AI targeting!
This is the only official answer I an find.

This post is less than two months old.
Unless I'm missing something this ooks like Jan 2022... Not 2023
When I checked the date on this thread it said (and still says) December 2022. *shrug*
Mine shows Jan 2022 as well
What has Taliana's thread to do with it? @Striker80swgoh wrote about the last -official-communication from CG and linked the thread from Crumb which is indeed 1 year old and doesn't really say much.
The community discussion hasn't gotten us very far, which is why Striker80swgoh linked the post from Crumb... It would be nice if CG would comment instead of letting the community try to interpret their intentions.

Don't really need to guess, since they told us. Until they say something to change that, we must assume their intentions are unchanged.
the problem is that their intentions don't seem to match reality, at least as stated in the linked post
Says who? Their intentions are to "maintain the health and balance of the new system" and to "ensure the range of skill rating numbers won't massively expand." They determine both of those metrics, and they're still doing the squish without new communication so we must assume their intentions match reality just fine.
None of this has been true.
It was true, until they changed the timing of division promotion/demotion.
No, those were not intentions. Those were the details of how the squish worked.
Lol ok, consider me lawyered I guess.
More like how the squish was supposed to work. I don't put as much blind faith in CG that this is working as intended considering the number of bugs and unintentional interactions lately...
Meaning you're hiding behind a technicality, but that's fine.
No I understood. But it was a great opportunity for a HIMYM reference.
It's been this way for a year. People have asked about it. CG has said nothing further. It clearly does what they want or they would have changed it by now.
Or they just don't care enough to change it and are just letting it ride.
Something we can agree on 🙃
