3/4* Battlegrounds Meta

What if, and here me out on this one, there was a meta banning all 5/6/7*s?
I think there are a few reasons why this would be a great idea for most players. And before everyone gets out their torches and pitchforks I assure you I am not biased. I have a fairly large 3.1+ mil account ("Armored Ghost" in game) with almost all 6*s (and awakened) The only ones I don't have that are "important" to have (aside from the brand new/featured champs) are Knull, IDoom, longshot and Rintrah. I have always made it to GC in every BG season so far. Everything I say below would be for the betterment of the playerbase in the game mode.
1)This would give lower accounts a chance to progress through the tiers at the same rate as higher accounts thus eliminating the problem of going up against accounts significantly higher or lower than you. This also eliminates the sandbagging problem.
2)More emphasis is based on skill rather than account size thus earning those juicy rewards
3)At this point in the game it is very likely that most players have almost all 3/4*s but they may also be missing quite a few important 5/6/ and 7*s. This would ensure that nearly everyone has the necessary draft options for the meta.
4)Since more people now have a chance to do well in BG there would be more participation -> higher score in alliance and solo BG event -> higher rewards for everyone and less wait times
5)It would make 3/4*s relevant again
Now I do need to address a couple of things...
1) I don't think this should be a very common event. Building a larger account is important and this would eliminate the need to rank up more unique and niche 5/6/ and 7* champions for attacking or defending in specific metas. Therefore This should be more like a special meta that happens no more often than every 4 months.
2) Since 3/4*s are long forgotten by many higher level players they may not have the resources necessary to level up a rooster of 30 champions and this may be a tedious and annoying process.
Overall though I think this could be a fun and unique event for everyone to enjoy. Let me know what you think with critiques and suggestions

Also experienced players will have a definite advantage in skill over most other players so lower accounts will get crushed anyways. This only would help people who are skilled playing on their alt.
a) In principle there's nothing wrong with the idea.
b) It is highly unlikely to happen while there are still many problematic aspects to the game mode, from matching to bugs.
c) If it happens at all, once every four months would be way too often. Once a year as a special event, maybe.
(and it'll force some of my alliance mates to max 3*s so when I ask to do 3* bgs we won't have to do r1 3*...)
IT'LL BE GREAT
I think doing a summoner bracket tournament with only 4* that YOU put on is a much more doable and enjoyable thing
