For me, it's that and the fact that they divided the year into splits. You have to play twice as many games to reach the rank you want because you only have three months to achieve it.

I am often matched in normals against players two ranks above me playing with their main. There are many players with high mastery playing with their main in normals, so there is still a challenge in winning some matches in this mode. It's not always newbies queuing up.
