Alliance War Matchmaking unfair [Merged Threads]

There's no way in a fair system this alliance should be in tier 6 with that kind of war rating. Our current match is against an alliance at twice our prestige but our war rating is very close. That's how matches should be rather than the sub 3000 ones with as much as a 500 war rating difference we've gotten in the past.
We have no business being in tier 6 then again neither does the 6k prestige alliance we are facing.
Disclaimer: this is 1 BG wars
There’s a good difference between your allies so I assume your doing 1 or 2 bg
How can matching with War Rating be unfair?
If right now your matchup is unfair is because you’ve been benefiting from a flawed matchmaking system. Not your fault, but sadly, you will suffer the consequences
On top of that, the rewards in Masters has been significantly reduced because of the nonexistent T2As. Put these two factors together and you have higher rated alliances lowering their rating to have a better time in war.
We were getting matched with very strong alliances just because we had high prestige and we had to use resources, boosts, etc to maintain a bracket in war that should’ve been way easier while you took better rewards than us.
I won’t lie it’ll be a bumpy ride for a lot of allies for this season but I’d say by next season most allies will be in their appropriate tier
You've been the benefactor of a change to match making after season 8 where you've only been getting matches against similar alliances without ever facing larger alliances that may have had the same war rating.
Today and today only we’ve seen what feels like 100s of complaints about AW matchmaking, people complaining about animations breaking, getting logged out in AW etc. All sorts. Something is wrong, it’s clear as day, so why aren’t you talking to us or telling us what’s happening? I mean come on, just a small, simple message saying ‘we’re looking into it’ or ‘it’s already known about’ would be fine but the fact that you haven’t responded to ANY of the threads about ANY of these issues is really disappointing. Usually you guys are OK about telling us these things so why the silence guys. Really, I’m just confused.
The big prestige alliances tend to keep together and will only recruit high prestige players because of AQ. Likewise the players that want to get the best AQ wars will prioritise high prestige rank ups so that they can get into these alliances. That is why there are two quite distinct sets of alliances here - those who push AQ and those who don’t. You’ll find that most of the alliances getting high tier AW rewards are running lower AQ because of a combination of either donations/time commitment or choosing between AQ and AW (like my alliance prioritise AW because it’s more fun, despite the worse rewards).
So ofc their first reaction is:
Woha what? This is so unfair.
Give them time to understand.
This is why I think it should be purely based on war rating. You should be subject to wars against everyone in your rewards tier and near your war rating. Anything else is filtering out the hardest opponents to give you and easier path to rewards.
Truth is if this is a problem then you do not deserve the rewards you have been getting. If you cant have good odds to beat Every gold 1 alliance outside the rising ones you don’t deserve those rewards above gold 1. The matchmaking process should not make better rewards easier for weaker alliances.
And we placed P1 the last 2 seasons. We increased our prestige the whole time. But do you know how hard it is to break 10k if you dont spend? Most of us are free to play. Or spend very low.
