You don't have to fight for it.....
Each team start off war with the full attack bonus possible (I believe this number is 67.5k but don’t quote me on that)
For each lost attack bonus this number is reduced by 150 points. If an alliances placed no defenders at all then the other side would walk through the map and finish with the full points on attack bonus.
You can only loose a maximum of 450 points on attack bonuses per defender so any deaths above 3 dont cause any penalty for the attacking team.
There is absolutely no benefit to the defending alliance for not placing a full defence.
What you have encountered is an alliance who place little/no value in an AW win and are just participating for the loyalty.
The most likely reason that only 4 people have placed defence is that they don’t want their champs tied up for 24 hours and are using them in single player content.
There isn’t any “cheating” going on here and you are getting more season points than you would if they placed all 150 defenders
Its pure cheating I must say. (Cheating themselves)
The possible reasoning could be (if you are all in low level War Rating), that opponents are maybe a NEWER but High Powered team that is still working their way up the War Rating Tiers.
So in meantime climbing the ladder they know they will be facing many MUCH LOWER opponents. And so could be tossing your team some FREE Explore/Bonus POINTS (knowing they are strong enough to win anyways). Allowing you to walk thru most of the map, getting all those MAX 3x ATTACK BONUS (as well as Explore) points, as @Dr_Z01dberg previously detailed.
Although that may actually cause problems for them, because now they will have missed a bunch of Diversity Points.
Or else they are doing it with the hopes that your side will see that and choose to not bring any decent champs for your attack (since most of map is empty). If that is the case, then that is on you guys, if you are ultimately not able to beat their Boss with “not your best” attackers.
As Zoidberg detailed, I had just outlined this exact same case for how Attack Bonus works regarding missing defenders in another thread yesterday. Other person there thought like you that somehow if you don’t have as many defenders to fight, that somehow you end up with less points. Wrong.
•With defenders on nodes•
Let’s say each node with a defender on it is worth 4 points. And each time said defender kills you you lose 1 point, up to 3 deaths.
So at Max you can score 4 points on it. Least is 1 point. So a full clear with defenders can be 200 point per BG. With all attack bonuses lost that would be 50 points per BG. Meaning a total of 600 for perfect play and 50 for everyone dying 3 times to a node.
But that’s not really how it goes. Some nodes you solo some you take 1-2 deaths to. So realistically you’re looking at 150-100 per BG.
Now let’s look at a near empty map.
•with 10 defenders on nodes•
Each node that would have had a defender on it now gets max points.
4. Each node with a defender now gets least points possible 1, because let’s say you lose all your attack bonus.
That’s now 175 points per BG. This “strategy” you’re taking about doesn’t benefit them at all. In fact you’re now earning more points thus raising your score that you would have. Thus raising your ranking.
Now we aren’t even taking about diversity points either. If you manage to kill their boss island even giving up your full AB they have to play PERFECTLY to match and or beat your AB. But that won’t be the deciding factor. As long as you have 15 diverse champs in your BG’s you win if you take out their island. And they won’t have diversity numbers as they will only get points if they place champs.
In summary points across 3 BG’s with opponents placing all defenders will be in the neighborhood of 400-500. Points across 3 BG’s with a near empty map, around 525.
Thank you again.
Shall comeback if need more insight.
Bless me with doom someone ... XD
