Such a sham war has become. You guys better have real changes in store since your destroying smaller alliances abilities to compete in war fairly currently

That alliance could be all fluff. 100 maxed 2 stars. 100 maxed 3 stars. A bunch of maxed 4 stars. Per summoner. Alliance PI rating means nothing. It’s your prestige and war rating. If they are a 2300-2500 war rating and you are too then you deserve to be fighting these alliance. Even a 60 million alliance with a similar war rating and prestige deserves to be in whatever Bracket they so chose to be in and play like.
Stop crying about alliance PI rating and begin crying about serious things. Like if you’re matched with an alliance of a 2800 war rating and you’re a 2300.
You could say that a 35 million alliance should never match against a 30 million alliance, but how are we going to enforce that? We could just sentence all 30 million rating alliances to permanently never rise above a certain tier. I don't think most 30 million rating alliances would think that was fair, but the only way to make sure alliance X and alliance Y never match, ever, is to make sure they are in different ratings, forever. We can't sentence the 35 million alliance to a lower rating than the 30 million alliance, because that would just cause them to fight even lower alliances. So the only thing we can do is sentence the 35 million alliance to always have a *higher* tier than the 30 million alliance, which is tantamount to saying all 30 million alliances are forever barred from rising to the same war tier as all the 35 million alliances. No matter how much they win, they will never go up, unless of course they raise their alliance rating with rank ups.
The suggestion often made is just match by both war rating and alliance rating, so even if the 35 million alliance and the 30 million alliance have the same war rating the 35 million alliance only matches against other 35 million alliances at that rating and ditto the 30 million alliance. Which makes sense if we're talking about 15 million rating alliances at 1500 war rating. There's lots of those. But at 35 million alliance rating and 2500 war rating (or whatever) there are very few alliances, possibly as few as one. Such a match rule cannot be honored when the alliances thin out, and you have alliances with no possible war match or the match system trying to shuffle alliances in weird ways to find the closest possible match, plus pairs of alliances facing each other over and over again.
Any match system that doesn't factor in wins and losses, and *only* factors in wins and losses, is going to end up doing stupider things than a system that just focuses on win/loss record metrics.
You’re comparing apples to hot dogs here. There is a 300 point spread in war ratings from top to bottom of platinum 4, it gets smaller as you go up.
The matchup you have is perfectly normal, but if you think alliances should be placed in rewards brackets based on their rating instead of ranking, you should really reconsider. That would likely put you in line for gold 2 rewards.
what is funny is how little rating means. we have guys with just over 1 mil rating that dies about 6 times more atleast than guys with 700k rating.
i can assure you now a 30mill ally full of guys the caliber of the two 1mil accounts i am talking about will get their ass kicked by 20mil allies.
but a 21mil ally full of the 700k rating guys would probably beat 30mil allies all day.
rating means squat.
only a persons top 8 champs are relevant for war>
and their skill.
and then thirdly their desire to spend units/glory on potions.
