Silver 1 is top 24% of the ladder

Think this is roughly what gold 3 was end of season. Gold 2 is top 9.24%!

Not complaining or anything just pointing out that since the entire ladder moved down a full tier on average, this is the effect. I ended preseason in gold 3 and got slammed into bronze 1(almost a 2 tier drop!) and this has been the hardest climb through silver ever because it isn't really silver caliber players, its mid-high gold from last season and even an occasional plat the whole way through. So reaching gold this early in the season is a true challenge...
