AW needs to be looked at (not just matchmaking)

I mean it’s obvious. This isn’t another thread about flawed matchmaking but the WHOLE of AW.
Matchmaking (just a quick one)
Just going to do this quickly, on the home page of the forums there are 9 threads (probably more by now) about AW matchmaking today. There is probably a bug or a big problem that’s just emerging which is possibly why this is going on but let’s be real, the whole of matchmaking has never been perfect so does need a look at.
BS:
This season all the high tier alliances have been complaining about flow, wether it’s bugged or working as intended it’s just another example of classic AW bs. A node itself may not be OP or bs itself, but there will always be placements that make it seem like that, take Annihilus on siphon as an example. I mean let’s take one example of a super OP/BS defender, Elsa Bloodstone on suicides. She puts a passive defensive on you, you die, the end. Maybe change some of these champions around, make it a debuff, give anihilus an filly dodgeable sp2 etc. There are TONS of small changes that could be seen as ‘nerfs’ but really benefit the community as a whole when playing AW
Stress and pressure:
This isn’t such a personal thing but I know that AW can seem really important to some people, enough to spend money or 4 hour arena grinds on. The way that some defenders are designed can mean that you just can’t one shot them (cough KORG cough) now in a node like AW where there are 10 people on a map that’s not too bad, somebody can always swoop in and take that boss, but the pressure AW puts on players can be really bad for them, that’s why we see so many retirement alliances/ alliance-less people, they don’t want to deal with the stress and pressure of AW. Now I think that it would be nice if that stress and pressure was toned down a bit, wouldn’t you?
Potions:
The latest changes to alliance potions as a whole were in my opinion, a step in the WRONG direction. Desperate potions for AW/AQ? What were you thinking kabam?
I know they restore more health but we wanted CHEAPER and EASIER to get potions, not this! It means that we have to spend units on either AW or AQ, not ideal.
Rewards:
Right, we’ve finally got to the end of a season, BS endured, 100s of units in potions paid what are the rewards? Mediocre. Like I know it’s a nice boost and on their own they’re not bad, but for all the time (a full month) and effort put into AW the rewards are, at best, mediocre. If you won’t change anything else kabam, just change the rewards, a 50-100% increase would make AW one of the best modes in the game.
Please just take a look at this as a whole

I'm taking a week long break from AW and I am starting to realize how much I kinda hate it
I also want to add: please remove the feature that takes away health after time outs, I remember a champion boss fight that I timed out of multiple time (he was 40+k rated, I was using 5k BWCV) and I ended up losing 75% of my health to time outs, still beat the boss without taking a single hit but it just made me feel more on edge all fight
