I'm going to say this once more and I'm done going over it and over it.
When comparing Allies and strength, Prestige is useful. You're only as strong as your toughest Champs. When you have an Ally with 5000 Prestige go up agaisnt one with 10,000 as a loose example, who do you think will win?
The strength of the Defense you put up is reflected in the Rating, and Prestige is a measure of the highest you have. Is it an idication that all your highest Champs are great Defenders? No. What it is, is an indication of strength. Total strength overall.
I'm really done going over this because at this point, I've made my points and we're just regressing. No system is perfect. This is where we're at after people abused the Matchmaking to the point that it was no longer a reflection of what Allies were capable of. I'm all for only running Wars during Seasons, TBH. Agree or disagree. I'm tired of going in circles. Lol.

Having prestige weighed as heavily as it is currently is creating bigger mismatches then before, point blank. Heres an example:
A man has a big house (prestige), surely he has exotic cars so he is challenged to a race by another man (war). The first guy replies, sorry i only own a prius i wouldnt be much of a race against your ferrari. But the second man insists and low and behold, the man with the prius loses the race. Just because he is rich and owns a big house does not mean he wants to race his prius against ferraris. Just because an allaince has high prestige doesnt mean they want to compete in war. Being competitive in one game mode shouldnt ruin another game mode.

If they don't want to compete in War, why are they running it?

You need to run AW to earn loyalty to pay for AQ. You cannot play high map AQ without playing AW, remove the loyalty costs from AQ or implement new ways to earn loyalty and can guarantee a lot of alliances stop running AW 100%.

You can earn Loyalty, win or lose.

Huh? You asked why are people running war if they don’t want to compete, I just told you why.

Yes, and I said if the issue was Loyalty, it shouldn't be. They get it no matter what. The comment was that people don't want to compete. War is a competition. Seasons are competitions. If you're entering, you need to either be prepared to compete, or not care and run the risk of losing. I don't condone overpowering other people who are trying to compete because you don't feel like putting in the effort at your level. (You in the general sense.)

You’re still implying that people should have to compete at the same level in AW as they do AQ, which is ridiculous, does that mean that everyone in master in AW should be forced to play map 7 5 days in AQ?
