The League system promotes chess mania. It's probably recommended to play two hours a day as the Chess Mood people say, and then devote other time to study. Getting 1,800 points in a week is a lot of playing time.

This is what needs fixing over all the other things they have wasted effort on like confetti animations and such imo.

It's rigged yes, because only 3 min blitz players will ever get to Legends club. No matter what other's say or do it will only ever be heavy blitz players who are in the Legends club. I've done the math, their is no way around it...

As a victim of elo anxiety, The divisions and leagues are the reason I'm not as scared of losing elo anymore because now I don't care as much of rating anymore and all I care about is ranking up in the leagues and then I will worry about elo (or I could restart my rank to the wooden division and start all over again!)
It also plays on EGO ... you simply play & compete because of your self image & not liking being last.

Worst thing is chess.com says leagues and division don't affect MATCHMAKING.
Am I CRAZY? they pair you up with people of the same league... hence you are paired with either people who WIN A LOT or PLAY A LOT
Are you telling me the "time spent" variable does not matter how hard a player tries to win? or the effort he puts into each game?
I have deactivated leagues and games seem to be more varied.
I am not always PLAYING AGAINST A DUDE WHO PLAYS 10+ GAMES a DAY LIKE ME

Leagues have zero impact on pairing

Is it true that you can restart your rank? I seem to remember some discussion about this that suggested the opposite.

its funny how each time I state my opinion, a moderator comes, and says "it ain't like that" without even counterarguing or explanation. Seems you skipped reading my message entirely.
I know that.
I stated that.
Your mathematical model disregards "playing lots of games a day" as an explanatory variable
Which many times also translates into "doing lots of puzzles" or "watching a lot of learning videos"
Basically, leagues match you up with highly motivated people or people in "training mode"
So how can you say that DOESNT affect matchmaking??
The point is nothing. Even your league is legend but you still play on your elo rate.
