I remember when RGL tried restricting me off of Amateur entirely despite me sucking on both Scout and Demo xd. Like sure, let me get my ass kicked in IM because I was too much of a threat in AM. It took so much convincing to actually have them let me play in AM while restricting me off of Med.
There really needs to be a overhaul of how restrictions are handled. In divisions like Main, you should be able to defeat the people who don't move up or keep moving down from Adv. I spent multiple seasons placing at the very bottom because my teams would never improve or even put in actual work to get to that level.
I don't play this game anymore but saw the thread and had to comment.
