Sorry to post a late reply to this, but I think at a lower level this might be vital to keep the clan war scene interesting. The gap between gold and bronze has never been so high, I see people who are actively in gold who would of been high plat atleast 6 months ago.
In saying that, players should always be able to play up a level. Atleast in clan wars. Tournament wise I can understand why the rule is there, so the higher level people are able to play due to player limits... But I am sure there is a way we can sort that out too.
