This statement makes no sense, lol but coven split the player base, it made some players master rank and some master coven, and when coven eventually stopped being played, many ranked players were vastly superior to some others. And what did "splitting" the playerbase exactly do that was harmful here? Not only is Coven Ranked a dead lump like Zed said, but what importance does mastering Coven Ranked mean to players that are already masters in the normal game? Ranked players being vastly superior to others in terms of skill has been a thing in the normal game for the longest time, so this thing happening with Coven wouldn't be that big of a deal.

There were also no drops in activity for the normal game. You can still get into a game of Classic, Custom, All Any, Ranked Practice, Ranked or even Dracula's Palace fairly quickly. you misunderstand me, i know. I'm saying that on initial launch, many good players went over to coven making the player base split, and currently, there are some players who have been playing ranked and are much more experience then people who played lots of coven and became very experienced with coven, only to found out that it's dead now and they have to master ranked once again.

i'm just saying, i think that more-casual players who bought coven and got good at coven are less inclined to be good at the game now that coven is dead.
