I continue to think these are beatable long term for about 3%. If you expect more than that you will be disappointed unless you run like god (which is possible for a thousand game stretch easily, you can also run like the devil just as long).
One factor I just thought up though was that because of the torture these can put on your emotions from the ups and downs and because it is very difficult to tell if you are actually any good, we will possibly see far fewer people grinding these as full time pros. Thus I think on average there will be more fish. The other HU sngs still do get plenty of fish though so it might not be that big a factor. Oh and also because these can "ruin" your pretty sharkscope stats, people might also be deterred.
