"The third season of GBL ends in two weeks, and only one person has reached rank 10 so far."

#PokemonGO: Since GBL came out, Niantic has been clearly experimenting with ELO. Having played PVP since the feature came out, I like to think that I am fairly experienced in it. I reached rank 10 in both seasons 1 and 2, as well as in the pre season. Reaching rank 10 in the pre season was fairly easy, and it has gotten harder and harder with every new season. PVP is the only reason why I still play Pokémon Go, every other feature and the new events seem like a PayToWin kinda thing to me, which I personally dislike a lot, however, with the current evolution of GBL, Niantic seems to be breaking the one aspect of this feature that still wasn’t broken (I don’t want to talk about lag, quick move glitch, etc. here).This is also damaging the overall interest of the community in the feature. I have an overall feeling that less and less people actually play PVP if compared to the amount of people that played when it first came out (preseason). With the practical impossibility of reaching rank 10, even less people are playing it. I believe Niantic needs to fix their ELO adjustment ASAP, but would love to hear some thoughts of the community on it. via /r/TheSilphRoad https://ift.tt/3jtY0gE
