This has been happening for many seasons now, we always seem to drop a tier in the off season despite doing off season wars and winning a good 98% of them
This is my theory and explanation from another thread. Poster asking why earlier in OFF-SEASON the Tier dropped from 6 to 8. Continued with follow-up after they noted yesterday that Tier is now 22 (probably is for everyone).
After “official” end of season (on a Tuesday), there were 4 more Wars that DID take place, until the Friday time of the following week when wars were disabled after that. (although as you said, at that 2nd week Friday time it just appeared to be a “stuck” enlistment failure, and only on Monday did they change the wording to show DISABLED now).
But as for TIER, seems ever more convincing that how Kabam determines the DENOMINATOR (of the % based calculation, your WR placement compared to all other alliances) seems to be based on how many alliances actually PARTICIPATE in either the currency matchmaking war, or the most previous war.
So that when changes from in-season to off-season, and a bunch of alliances STOP doing wars for a couple weeks, that would lower the amount of alliances as the DENOMINATOR, thus lowering the # of alliances that would fall into every TIER. Thus pushing your WR-based (but also % based) Tier down lower.
Denominator (# of Ally's doing wars) is now ZERO. ( “since wars are Disabled currently, no Ally can be doing a war, thus ZERO”) So all Ally's are probably all showing as Tier 22 right now (mine showing Tier 22 right now also).
While this will correct itself automatically by the time 2 week preseason is over (and actual season starts), they will (should) indeed have to manually fix it for the first war of upcoming preseason in a few days (to force the denominator to some number such as alliances who did wars as of end of last season).
**unless calc is determined upon Matchmaking phase, and not from prev war participation.
And maybe even use that method going forward (using final # of alliances at end of a season for use in the tier calc during whole off-season)
