I checked. All teams in my league (level 16) are (a little) stronger, except for one. Funny thing is that's the only team who won his league last season (like me).

Maybe they now use CL algorithm's to calculate league draws?


I don't think it was ever really gone, I think it was just less obvious for a time. I faced a strong team in SL final two seasons ago. I checked his league and he was 3rd or 4th at that point. I checked some other teams in his league and a lot of them were above 100%. None in my league were. So I think there was still some quality factor at work, but with different (wider) ranges.

This season however seems way more balanced than it was the seasons before.
