The same BS like last Season. Playing against a P2 Alliance on T2 but with T3 calculation. Win or loose doesnt matter we will still drop

That's how matchmaking works. There's a coin toss basically that decides the tier the map for war will be on. You got matched with a p2 because there wasn't enough alliances in p3 to match with that weren't already matched. It's how it works when you're closer to p2 than p4.

@Demonzfyre Thats not the Point. The Problem ist that we have to play on T2 Nodes but our points will be multiplied by 6 [T3] and not by 7 [T2]. That is just not fair and this happened last season too. It doesnt matter if we win. We will still drop in rank

With a rating of 3140 you should be in T2

This is how AW matchmaking has worked for years. You're on the cusp of T3/T2 being that you're currently 8th in Plat 3.

It cant be fair to play a pointless AW that wont give you points to gain some ranks.

Demonz is right that this is how it works when you happen to get matched to an alliance on the other side of a Tier border from yours.

And since don’t always get matches against the very immediate teams right above or below yours, this probably happens to several alliances at each Tier border every war.
(not sure of the matching algorithm, but I think there is some “randomness” involved from within a larger range of alliances than just the immediate 12 alliances surrounding yours)

If you are T-3, matches against a T-2 alliance, and system “coin-flip” has chosen their T-2 Map to be the one you both play on. They still receive their T-2 Points Multiplier, while you still receive your own T-3 Multiplier.

While it is fair to complain that you would need to use a larger number of Potions/etc on that harder map than you normally would do, for the same amount of potential points (or more likely somewhat less points, due to more KO's, so less Attack Bonus).

But taken from the point of view of those alliance immediately surrounding you (in your same Tier-3 level).
You are next to another T-3 alliance in current standings, and THEY are only getting T-3 Multiplier in their own War (because they did NOT have a “cross-tier” matchup, and are matched against a like T-3 alliance, for normal T-3 Multiplied points).
Why should you get to significantly jump a lot higher than your neighbor in Multiplied Points just because of who you got matched against (a T-2 team), when they were still matched against another neighboring T-3 team for that war ?

Or conversely, if “coin toss” had determined your war against a T-2 alliance would be fought on YOUR lower T-3 Map. Should that T-2 alliance be severely punished with much lower Multiplied Points (your lower T-3 Multiplier for them), just because Matching put them against an alliance (yours) that was NOT in the same Tier that they are currently in ?
All of their neighboring alliance would be able to pull ahead of them, thru no fault of their own (just because of a cross-Tier match).

@SummonerNR Yes I understood all that😂 I also know how matchmaking works. But it is a pointless war. With a rating of 3140 you should be in T2. We were on rank 8. Some Alliances next to us were playing on T2 for sure. There is just no point in competing against other alliances when you are not able to win some ranks😂😂😂
