In tier2 of AW where defender diversity plays a great role in winning/losing, we lost even when the attack phase didn't start as a player placed a duplicate champ in defense resulting in our diversity at 149. Needless to say, the opposing alliance won the war. This is what the deciding factor is now? losing even before the offense phase starts?

... at least give us the defender diversity/rating of both alliances at the start of the war, so we don't have to waste time going through the motions of clearing the battlegroups.
I believe 3% make up the top two tiers, so more like 97%. and keep in mind those top 3% probably provide 90% of the revenue, so just be aware if the Whales don't pay, MCOC goes away.
There is a relatively low number of "whales" in the game. They contribute nowhere near the amount that the many tens of thousands of players making small amounts in purchases add up to be. Reverse your revenue numbers and you are probably in the ballpark.
The most inaccurate reasoning in the game is "the whales keep the game a float"
I can imagine it's working okay in the lower tiers but I'm guessing somewhere around tier 6 it starts to break down. Just a guess on my part though on where the problem starts. We float between 2-4 and we see in all of those. That's a significant amount of teams if you think about it.
Wrong.
I was in a high tier alliance so I do understand what the gripes are about war. I have moved to a semi retired alliance because of dissatisfaction with the game. I have some lower rated players in my ally and instead of getting killed on the first tile in old war system they are able to progress a bit and get some pride in playing.
Don't forget as guys like me drop from high rated alliances you need someone to replace them. The game has to be fun for lower level players too so they will stick with it and eventually be high rated players.
But...isn’t part of the fun in the game to be challenged and see yourself progressing? How is it fun to be able to beat a spider Gwen and a winter soldier in war?
Also, the point to lower tiers is that the DONT have the rosters of higher tiers. Lower tiers shouldn’t be running into max md defenses which are also littered with r5 spidey, ncs, and hyperions. If people are having trouble getting past defenses that aren’t built like the above, how is letting them face even easier war nodes doing them a service for when they have to face harder content in the game?
For example, I didn’t have a duped bw when that Chloe challenge happened and I didn’t know how to evade the spidey l1 at that time either. I learned how to do it by constantly working hard and ended up beating that 20k+ PI spidey with a classic 4* r4 black panther and then beat the ultron with inflicts poison with an r3 captain marvel. And then I ultimately beat the event. I didn’t do that by having the game get easier for me. I did it by working hard to get better.
Most of the high rated players are fully vested in this game. I'm an f2p player so it wasn't that hard for me to step back in my play. Most people who have spent a lot of money aren't going anywhere. Sure some have cut back their spending but I'm sure they still play multiple hours every day and will most likely be spending again when things settle down.
My overall point is that a game developer looks at the game as a whole. They try to make the best decisions for the game with ALL players in mind...not just the top players.
Also you probably won about half the wars before the update and are probably winning about half the wars after the update. The rewards are the same. It might suck losing by 300 points but then you may win by 300 points.
Adding points for defender kills does not hurt lower tiers and would make wars better and more fair for all
Seems like a pretty easy solution eh?
New war. Same result. Note, we had one screw up and doubled a champ. But even at max diversity we still don’t overcome defender rating (diverse champ would have been worth another 50 points). How do people defend this system?
