I thought diversity season was over??

Just lost the last G2 war of the season to diversity..Both alliances 100% on all 3 BGS, but we won on attack bonus. But then DIVERSITY wins it for them. Why is this still a thing. Diversity should not outway attack bonus..that’s literally holding participation over hard work. It’s hard to not give up a death. It’s not hard to place a **** champ in there just for easy points.

Well considering 1 attack bonus is worth 4x 1 diverse defender.
Also you either barely beat their **** champs or you had terrible diversity and still died to their **** champs enough to lose

Well there are 2 options, have diversity, or have every path and rankup just be think korg medusa imiw etc, if I remember they tried to remove diversity once and it caused a boycott, so pretty sure I can speak for most of the community when I say, diversity is a good thing

Diversity has been a part of war for many seasons. Not sure how you forgot about it. Sounds like you should have done a better job.

Here is proof of just a few minutes ago that Attack Bonus can "save" a war even with lower Diversity

Looks like you lost half of that advantage you got from attack bonus by not exploring 100%. They won by exploration, not by diversity
p.s it wasn't last war of season, there is one more

And it's not a 4 to 1 ration, actually a little under 3 to 1 (80 pts Bonus vs 30 pts Diversity).

But, wow, an ACTUAL TIE by @Voltolos. Is there a real tiebreaker involved then ? How does the 50k Bonus get split up. That pic looks like it was from 1st war of season (when they maybe had the bug of not awarding the 50k for a lot of teams), so curious what ended up happening with your war points from the tie.

A tie is counted as both alliances lose so no win bonus

Ouch, that would ... You’d think they would split the bonus 25k for each, just so that overall potential points-wise versus other wars going on between other ally's near them would still be equal.
Or maybe 15-20k each, sort of like how a Tie in Soccer or Hockey is worth less than half of a normal win (or at least some leagues do or used to do).

Kabam tried to remove defender diversity back in June, but that caused so much outrage it isn't funny. I think it will stay for a while.

Lol. You got better attack bonus simply because the opponents diversified their defenders, which most likely resulted in an easier defence that your alliance was fighting against.

We've won on diversity and lost on it in very close wars, either you have a strong group of defenders and they destroy your opponent or you try to diversify the best you can.

Diversity season has never gone away and it’s not a tie-breaker either. It’s another point scorer that contributes to who wins the war, although not as important as exploration, deaths, boss kills. Over the last few seasons though, Kabam has releasing tougher and tougher defenders which is making some alliances consider placing duplicate defenders, because these new defenders generate more kills than their -30 point penalty is worth.
