Why is the competitive rank cap back down to 10k? I liked the higher variety in ranks and it was a good degree of separation between players.

The only thing I can guess is low player counts...if there's too many brackets there's a chance it can't find any players if the nearest is to high or to low it could cause problems in skill gaps and connectivity especially if the matchmaking can only search for players near your bracket...so if you remove a few brackets it condenses the players to fill lobbies and keep similar skill levels without having to rewrite the matchmaking code... Which would be a royal pain and a lengthy process I'm sure...
