AW mismatches

The matchmaking process needs to be changed to allow for fairer fights between alliances of equal players!! There are way too many mismatches- based on the fact that matchmaking is based on war rating .. and not on "average player ratings!"

No war raitig is clouse

It sucks both ways .. to be on the receiving end of mismatch .. and to be on the other side - knowing that they're feeling like you now!

You guys can't really be this oblivious to the fact that no alliance is going to win against an alliance that has players with ratings twice their own ..

If the smaller alliance is only able to put forth R3 5*s and R4 4*s on defense .. while the bigger alliance is dumping R1&2 6*s .. and R4&5 5*s .. This literally just happened in the war we just fought .. out of the 50 kills we had - we only had one KO to their defenders! They had 16 kills and 14 KOs!! WTH is wrong with that dynamic?!! It's not fair!!

Y'all must be those players that take 2*s into the Labryinth .. and expect everyone else to be able to do it - simply because you can?!

That's not how the world works!

Put the alliances against alliances of the same player level - since there is no way to judge skill level!

I agree. There should be something that prevents a reasonable variation in sizes, but people will argue ad nauseum that everything is as it should be. What they don't acknowledge is that there are Matches that are so biased that it makes it almost certainly a Loss. For some reason, they see this as fair. I disagree completely.

Ebony definitely covered everything I wanted to say but I also want to add something: the way matchmaking is made currently (it's this way in some other online games I've played as well) makes it so that after you win a few wars, you eventually end up with a mismatch because you've been punching above your weight. This is bound to happen eventually.

The war ratings are similar, no problem here.

In your second matchup screenshot, you can clearly see that the 15 mil alliance were bronze 1 in season 21 but your alliance which is a 11 mil alliance were silver 2 in season 21 even though they're stronger than your alliance.
The point of war matchmaking is not to provide a fair matchup, but to decide who is the better alliance of the two.
If I form a new alliance, I'll be in the lowest tier of war. If I keep getting matched with other alliance with similar rating I'll never reach higher tier even though weaker alliances are in those higher tiers.
The first war of this season my 37 mil alliance faced a 62 mil alliance, needless to say we lost badly cause they were way stronger. It was just some bad luck, but from a purely matchmaking point of view the matchup was completely alright.

No one said the Matches have to be completely even. Under the current Rewards structure, we've seen the side effects of that. However, there should absolutely be limitations on how varied Rosters are. When you start getting into 2 times the size and above, you cannot by any reasonable argument call that fair. Not unless you simply enjoy watching people get pummeled for sport or spite. Personally, I don't consider a Win that's so overpowered a fair Win. Beating up the smaller guys is not skill, just resting on the Roster.
