The Tiers will also reflect this. Eventually there won't be many extreme Matches because the Tiers will be more appropriate to our Rating. This is an example of what happens when Allies agree to avoid fighting each other in Tier 1 to peck off other Allies. Not implying that's what happened here. I have no idea. There will be fewer Matches possible like this because the system will balance itself. War Rating and Tiers will be more in tune to our Rating. Now, if something else could be done to address it more specifically, I'd support that, but for now I'm waiting to see if it's curbed by the rebalance. It could be the "Agreement", or it could be that this Ally was the closest in War Rating at the time of Matchmaking. Either way the system is in the middle of shifting, so things will change.

You say that like the matchmaking is intelligent and can figure out what to factor in to create a fair matchup. But I wager the algorithm is still largely the same broken stuff it was before instead of saying okay tier 1 alliances match with Tier 1 and no if and or buts about it no hoop jumping or manipulations will change that. No one deserves easy wins at that level and no alliance should be allowed to engage in any sort of behavior that leads to unfair matchups ever. Which is why tier locked matchmaking would be the best solution.

If an alliance is somehow timing this, then the search should keep searching or after 10 min of not finding a suitable match, should send a message saying to try again later. No way on this earth should a tier 2800 be matched with a tier 1500. Does not make sense how much you stretch it.
