Alliances are rated for their war abilities based on war ratings. When Seasons were introduced with a FIXED multiplier for respective tiers, tanking was resulted as it gave alliances an incentive to drop to the bottom of their tier for the exact SAME multiplier, and grab some easy wins on the way up to their equilibrium rating, where they have a 50% win/loss ratio on average.
Hence, there is a need to remove the fixed multiplier system in order to remove tanking.
Now that that’s out of the way, war ratings should be the only metric being considered when matchmaking 2 alliances. If alliance A and B both have 3000 war ratings, at a glance, one would assume that they have similar warring abilities, which is what the war rating metric was designed to do.
The big issue now is, it is possible that a 15m alliance and a 30m alliance have the same war rating of 3000, which means, war rating no longer serves as an accurate measure of warring capabilities. In short, the system is going haywire.
In order to rectify it, War matchmaking will need to be solely based on war ratings moving forward and allow alliances to eventually win/lose their way to their equilibrium ratings, while simultaneously changing the fixed multiplier system to disincentivize tanking.
If that's the logic, throw away fighting altogether and award people from least to highest-Rated Ally. No need to compete. Doesn't matter.
However, what the OP mentioned, were oddities amongst the leaderboards, where there are alliances that are way below the average alliance ratings of other alliances within the same rank/rating, beyond reasonable comprehension.
True, people might have sold off their champions but it will be hard to get all 30 members on board with the same idea of doing so.
