This.
The problem is that people always argue like "We made a lower split limit but every time a split happens, players leave! Players just want these big games."
IMO there is NO link between "split makes players leave" and "players want big games."
I think there are many other reasons why split can make players leave:
-gamestart is delayed
-seperated from friends in other room
-do not like new balance
-do not like new map (current map is now maybe too large)
etc
If more open battles are the goal (so that there is less waiting and community can actually grow etc) then limit the size of rooms from start, not after the room is overfilled.
The mechanic of taking players out of a battle and moving them to a different can imo not work.
