What's actually going to happen is that the top of the leader boards will go from 6-7K to 9-10K, the average player's rank will remain generally the same, and people will complain that they broke the system instead of realizing they aren't as good as they thought.

The openness and straight-forward answers by /u/mdonais are absolutely blowing my mind right now. Most devs, and especially Blizzard, are always super vague when talking about upcoming changes. Mike lays out specific planned changes and when they'll be changing. It's so refreshing and very much appreciated. I played HS from closed beta up through Un'Goro, but haven't played in two years. Battlegrounds got me to reinstall the game. I can't wait to see how it evolves over the next few months.
