FIX GAC
I'm done, and I'm letting others know. I'm seven years on the app, 3.6M+ GP, and am still in Carbonite 2. I win more than 50% every round, and yet still drop in rank. And then after dropping even lower in rank, I face even more absurd players. Current GAC, round 1, facing two full R8 squads on the front. This is Carbonite 2!!! This has been going on for far too long.
Do a hard reset - reorg all of GAC by GP, and then start the win/loss thing again. A recalibration is absolutely necessary at this point, this is happening to SO MANY people (look on reddit). Do a reset, and I'll play again. But until then, I can't be bothered with something so f-ed up. No point, for 70 daily crystals, when I should be getting 100+ in a better league. The top 50 in the league don't even have gear 12 toons, yet somehow with my 12 relics, I keep facing others with 10-20 relics near the bottom of the league. This is clearly broken.

If you're 7 years in, and only 3.6m you did something wrong.
If you got your reset, you would still get your butt kicked. A lot of people are quite focused now with their rosters, and would put you in the same position you're in now.
The system has its flaws, but it is still good overall. It is missing a floor, so big accounts can't sink past a certain tier and have new players be faced with them, but I've seen people crawl up to A2+ pretty quickly if they know how to play. Instead of crying the system is broken, you should be asking how to make your roster better.
I do think they should do something to improve the experience for lower GP players. Fair or not, it's not fun - and these are folks that we want to encourage to continue playing.
GP based matchmaking is what we used to have and it was a hot mess. Going back would be a massive mistake.
While I say that, in all leagues except for Kyber I do think a GP floor needs to be set in place. There definitely are people in leagues with a roster that doesn’t belong.
Which I think might still be better. If those accounts aren't going to play, it gives more chances for the small accounts to rise to the top of each league and not just be greeted by them in carbonite.
It might sometimes give “fairer” matchups, but every account that’s not allowed to drop because of a floor is one account that can’t rise in their place. It would end up suppressing crystal income for newer players and preventing upward progression. It’s not perfect but I’d rather keep the new system which (theoretically) does at least have an option for faster progression for newer accounts.
An example could be. If I'm 8 million GP and drop to Bronzium 1. Meaning my GP is way above the average Bronzium 1 player, I'm matched now vs other players way above the average Bronzium 1 player in that division.
They don't want to play properly? That's fine, just keep them together, and not interfering with players that do wish to play properly.
