Tier 5 AW off season rating drop

So my alliance lost 66 war rating in two wars after the AW update even though we ended the season in tier 5. Has this been changed?

If you look at the snapshot:

The rightmost war is the one right after the season ended and we didn't lose any rating but in the next two we dropped 66 ratings and our tier dropped to tier 6 as well. Is this expected?

If you were on the border between 5+6, you might not have lost any WR from that rightmost war, but some teams below you in Tier-6 were indeed still able to gain WR, and some of them might have then moved up past you, enough for you to get knocked down to Tier-6 because they passed you by.

Your next 2 wars could have maybe moved you back above them (since they would have then been the ones Rating-locked) if you had Won. But with losing you moved further down within Tier-6.

@SummonerNR something seems off because we're definitely in T5 and yet....

A tad... odd.

I’m not 100% sure about this but seem to remember if you are in the off season frozen tiers but match up against an alliance in tier 6 or below.... if the war is played on the lower tier map, alliance war rating will go up or down depending on result.

And yet.... we're in the Tier 5 Map. Like I said. Odd.
