Isn't threat district segregation something G1 invented?
Kicking "golds" from bronze district would be stupid. Plenty of people who are silver, will go gold temporarily from beating bronzes on the regular.
Forcing some hardly above mediocre player to face the people rated the highest, that are good enough to get hackusations on the regular, that's peoples idea of a solution?
The only thing that would achieve is shift which part of the less skilled player base is complaining.
If this was sports, it would be like, the little leaguers complaining the middle schoolers are too tough, and then saying, why don't you make the middle schoolers play the pro teams!
The biggest problem with gold threat in general is its way too broad.
No one ever even talks about green threat, how useless is that? If there was Platinum district, this would be a different conversation, at that point the best players would be stuck in gold or above.
