I feel like this will have a minimal impact on anyone as most play in bronze and silver. It doesn't really start to have much effect until gold and I feel like it impacts/punishes the better players the most. We have a guild mate who can push into diamond with a silver level deck but he also usually takes a top ranking in silver leaderboards or places high in tourneys and brawls etc. This will impact him the most. I think the problems lay in the matchmaker system and rating systems and this is a lazy attempt to address those issues without addressing those issues.
