I would say the effect on low Bronze is more complaint-worthy than GM, though. In GM, it's very common to play against people who you have no trouble beating, and playing against even worse players is not much different in that regard. In low Bronze, there is nobody worse than you so it's unfair to match against much better players where you're essentially just wasting your time. In both cases, you're only seeing half of the wider search range, but it's much more punishing for the lowest end and could result in declining Bronze activity. What probably should happen is some sort of tiered approach where the minimum search range narrows the closer you are to the edge of the spectrum. | ||

Point totals for divisions are going to take a lot longer than a single day to spread out. | ||
