Nobody playing solo isn't a bad thing. It's proof of the free market showing that it sucks.

IMHO, it's proof that people will play whatever the default mode is and not bother with the rest.

Then why are people playing less ever since FFA got deleted in favor of solo? They recognize that one is fun and the other is awful.

We do have other variables we need to account for here - namely, the server being terrible.

I predict that with the recent reform, we'll see an accelerated inflation of the ratings.

Simple to follow: today the average rating of the Top 20 is 2868.05 (FFA Rapid, of course).
Let's see in 2 or 3 months for instance...

Maybe not; you lose more for 4th now, but we'll see

YES, you're right, but games where all 4 players are from Top 20 are extremely scarce; and they are often with players who are 2400-2700;  and these ones are more likely to finish 4th tear.png
