yh but they said a soft reset grand champ to plat 1 is not a soft reset

One, they handed out grand champion titles like candy, so everyone on their mom has them, and two, they even said that grand champions will be put into platinum tier to avoid the same nonsense of them having to grind through all the lower skilled players.

"Season 3 Champions will likely place into the Platinum tiers, while All-Stars and Superstars from Season 3 will place into Gold initially."

Straight from the Landing Page. This is better than last season when champion level players were still at challenger 2 after 2 days.

And there are grand champs who'd barely get by at shooting star ranks. Just need to give it some time. There's no point in ranked if they instantly get put back on the top immediately, never have to play and just stay at the top all season.

At the end of the season the rank distribution looks very similar to a Gaussian distribution. A soft reset compresses this distribution and moves it down by some amount. As the season progresses, this distribution begins to spread back out and move up the ladder.

In other words, as more and more games are played, the "average" player will reach a higher and higher rank until he normalizes. At that point you will have Grand Champion players hitting Grand Champions, Gold players hitting Gold, and Bronze players hitting Bronze.
