A decent sized “spike” at Diamond 1. This exists because Diamond 1 is the highest rank we’ll grant to a player immediately after completing their 10 qualifying matches. So the “extra” players in Diamond 1 are players who would add to the high Diamond and Onyx columns if they continued to play more ranked and work their way up through the higher levels of the CSR system.
343 Industries is also working on adjusting the CSR algorithm to make it more accurate and closer to player medians. More updates are also being planned in the future, including additions of co-op multiplayer and a Forge mode.
