"everyone's going to be radiant man oh my god"
I believe these changes were made to incentivize people to tryhard in ranked, and have something to play for. The reality is a lot of people have either left the game at this top 10k - 500 level, moved onto other ranked systems, or haven't had something to play for, hardstuck trolling games inside the 0-400rr bracket.
This change does 2 things.
1: Gives people who still play this game something attainable to reach for. I understand you are lowering the threshold overall which means less skilled players get into Radiant, but allow me to introduce this next point!
2: Changes the narrative inside Radiant. We can understand what low RR Radiant and high RR radiant mean, and will develop a new culture around it, much like how it is in League with Challenger 0lp vs 500lp vs 1K lp. Nothing is being taken away from you if you're good at this game and already at that level. Now is your "tag" of Radiant allowing a lesser skill bracket into the fray? Is that being tarnished a slight bit? Yes. Will that make more people play the game so its worth it just for you to lose a little bit of that default prestige, with now the new added context of you're a high RR Radiant so you still get to keep almost the entirety of what defines the rank? YEAH! its a WIN WIN.
3: GUYS its STILL THE TOP 500! This just adds more people into the queues, gives them the incentive to play, and before you know it this threshold might even thoom back up to the 400s and 500s with how many people make the cut (by default it'll already be over 500 within a few days)
This is healthy for the game. We can contextualize if people's Radiant tag is "fradulent" or not (if you honestly even care at this point).
It just gives the people another reason to queue at the most dedicated of ranks, which is a GOOD THING!
