Except there is no reason to do this in the first place considering nobody complained the old system anyways. Implement the tiers for damage and healing nerfs and leave the old matchmaking as it was. Would anybody complain about this? No. Easier for devs to balance fewer tiers, players are still happy, everyone wins
