Last AW counted for War Rating [official comms]

Matty_Ice

This past alliance war counted for war rating even though it is still offseason war.

We lost war rating and dropped a tier. This is after they said it wouldn’t count. BS.

Hi Summoners,
We are aware that, despite delaying AW S49, the most recent off-season war impacted War Rating - even though we said it wouldn't.
We are working to remove the matchup's impact on War Rating, however it will not likely happen until the season has already begun.
We'll continue to communicate updates as the information becomes available.
We apologize for the inconvenience, thank you for your patience.

Delay the season until it gets fixed. As the post above says if ally starts at a disadvantage because they lost this war. And others that won the war start at an advantage it would be nearly impossible to undo all of those impacts.

Yeah you can’t just let the first war run without fixing it. That would be horrible for a lot of alliances

So some alliances will start in the wrong tier. That’s no solution.
Surely the whole thing will end up a complete mess when (if) ratings get corrected and the inevitable knock-on effects.

Agree. Have to fix the tier (and war rating) or the season will be ruined from day 1.

It is very likely the "fix" will go wrong again if they decide to do it right before the season starts, we all know Kabam.

So out of curiosity, @Kabam Miike @kabam Jax,

Will you resolve the war rating that was erroneously not disabled, which places those in the verge between tiers in an absolutely awful position, and do so in time for it to not screw the coming season?

We were 2 wins off tier 1. Meaning if we went 7-5 in season, we'd be T1 for the season after.

Because we lost, though (you know, in the war that everyone warned you to ensure you disabled war rating changes for, but you didn't), we're now needing to go 8-4 in the season to secure T1. Quite a tall order, and basically forcibly postpones our dreams of Plat1 for at least one more season.

Not to forget, this is the third time we've been hit by this. Third time where war rating in offseason was accidentally enabled, and I can tell you that the responses from rising tickets about it gave absolutely zero response.

So, far as I see it, you owe my alliance 3 offseason war rating changes so far. Not to mention that even if you do sort out the war rating change _this time_, the later in season you do it, the more effect it will have for those that could have reached a higher tier earlier, and thus, benefited from higher multipliers.

In short, just curious: how are you going to make this right, and if so, when?

No biggie, really. Our alliance nailed our last "off-season" War, so we're all good! Remember, if life gives you lemons, just throw 'em back and demand chimichangas instead!

Any updates on fixing tiers? Any alliance impacted now starts the season handicapped… seems like a great way to get back into “caring” mode.

While War Rating may (hopefully) be adjusted prior to matchmaking (and thus War Tier seeding) for this 1st war of the season.

But if not done in time for 1st war today, it will probably just be the WR Rating number itself that is eventually corrected (whenever it does get done).

They most likely WILL NOT be going back and doing a series of further cascading adjustments to who may or may not have won or lost, or had a “half-rating” war vs a “no rating” war (or even a “full rating” war as might have been the case for some lower alliances), or whatever other cascading effects, because of different Tier calculations, etc, etc.

So, war 2 has ended.

Any chance we're going to hear anything further on this? I don't want to sound like a Doomsayer here, but Kabam track record when it comes to handling war rating mess-ups in offseason isn't exactly stellar so far...

Thecurler

Imo the best solution is to give a bit of comp to those alliances whose war rating was adversely affected by that war and let the season play out without readjusting war ratings now.

It had to be done before season started or not at all.

It’s already too late, knock-on effects have taken place. Swept under the rug again.

is this going to get fixed?

yup, it's too late. because of how their wars turn out, some teams might end up playing several if not more wars with the wrong multiplier because of this. they can't fix knock-on effects.
