Tier Multiplier for alliances at the border

This has been a long term issue which Kabam keeps ducking.
Why do alliances at the border of tiers, have the lower multiplier when facing up?
If you are in tier 2 and face a T1 alliance on a T1 Map, you should get the T1 Multiplier.
It's so frustrating that the multiplier is tied to the Tier and not the Map.
It's not fair at all, and despite it being repeatedly communicated to Kabam, seems like since it's not a top level issue, it just seems to be swept under the mat.

This really needs to be looked at. Why should the lower alliances be penalized when facing tougher maps and opposition when compared to others in the same tier?

At the same time, top level alliances have used last war to abuse matchmaking and are starting to match T2 alliances with T1 maps, giving them easy matchups and giving the T2 alliances a loss with T2 Multiplier. They may not use items, but it hurts the standings.

So top alliances are helped, lower alliances suffer.
This has to be looked at, especially when CCP members are in top alliances who have intentionally or not, abused matchmaking.

My alliance is on the Challenger map, and keep getting dragged up to Expert, with all the pain of the extra nodes and harder matchup, but with all the downside of still having the lower multiplier. It’s very frustrating and I feel like I’ve been complaining about it in the ccp every season for ages. At least it used to be that there was a 50/50 for which map got used, but now it always defaults to the harder one.

Yeah. There isn't any upside for the lower alliance in the matchup.
Honestly, the multiplier should be linked to the map. Then if you have a higher map, atleast you get more points.
I feel that despite you bringing it up in the CCP, unless more people constantly bring it up, Kabam doesn't want to listen to us.

7th time in 3 seasons. Nice to get screwed over again and again.
