I think all high ranks (gold and diamond leagues) should be reset when the game gets released globally.

I'm currently at rank 40 (and climbing steadily). At least every other game is against some poor opponent in the single digit ranks, with little experience and almost no premium cards. Some of them concede instantly when they see my rank. This means I didn't earn my rank by beating my higher ranked peers, I mostly got there by beating up on newbies. The same goes for everyone else at high ranks. Two of the diamond league players I faced were clearly not very skilled, they made several "bronze/silver league level" mistakes. They don't deserve to be at that rank, and I haven't proven myself yet either.

So I think the ranks should be at least partially reset. Demote everyone higher up down to silver league, and let them fight their way up again once the player base is large enough that you only get matched up against players at similar rank.

As a consolation prize, you could get gem rewards as usual for (re-)ranking up.

Counting down to nerd rage explosion, 3, 2, 1 ... :) Guess what? If I got about 500 gems, I would gladly scrap my gold league record!
