AW matching problem

Hey just wanna ask about the matching in aw and need some clearance about this because our alliance rank is p5 and we are facing opponents alliances that are p2 and p3 with players that have a much bigger roaster than us and im confused why are we a p5 alliance and facing p2 or p3 opponents. We have players with that rating of 4mil and out highest is like 4.8mil the opponent we are facing have 9mil each can u please look into it

Just a minute, someone will... (Nevermind, should just answer instead of bumping it like that)

Matchmaking is based on War Rating.
Assuming that you are and have always run 3 BG wars (otherwise, that could definitely skew your prior season's Plat standing, which is based on Points not War Rating).

And have you been at Plat 5 for several seasons (or just a bad season last season).

Or were facing Plat 2/3 alliances (have only been 2 wars so far this season (and off-season really might not be an indicator) that maybe had overachieved last season (relative to their War Rating).

Or facing Plat 2/3 finishers from last season, that tanked the entire off-season this time around, which was actually an extra 4 wars of off-season longer than normal. If indeed they were in tiers where off-season WarRating is allowed to go +/-.

Or similarly, your team pushed for wins all off-season here, and jumped up in War Rating, well above what your prior season ending rank had you at before.

Finally, when you say your Alliance *IS* in Plat-5. That's not really correct. You may have finished Plat-5 last season. But no alliance is *any* ranking right now, because rankings don’t start to be calculated for new season until several wars in, when teams have points from several wars (instead of just after 1-2 wars).

I mean that’s what happened last season we only lost one war and didn’t play in the off season maybe that’s why thanks for the explanation ✌️

SummonerNR bro last we won all matches except 1 ...our rankings didnt improve after winning wars constantly n war rating increased by 32 on trott,now the thing is as u saying that matchmaking based on ratings...so i get dat,but dont u think that if dey incresed rating dey shud also increase our rankings.we were left to rot in platinum 5 and the ratings are equal an alliance is p3/p4 allaince,3203 was our ratings n dese are ratings of last allaince we faced who were p3 n avg Pi was 27.6k n rating avg 7mil.we were not p5 or stagnant der we were p6 last to last n g1 before we are making a steady progress.off season gives 0 ratings u win or lose dsnt matter dats y its off season...i get that point also wer the rankings arent out yet...so atleast we count the ratings wat we had until new rankings are out..but brackets never goes upwards after rankings is out..its jus that season starts with 200 ranks in the same bracket wer it ended last season....my oni concern right now is matching the same bracket..or if its being calculated on ratings so last after winning so many wars y didnt we ended in higher bracket like the alliance we facing and y did the rankings didnt shoot up after winning wars n rating shooted. Either ratings n rankings go up hand to hand or neither ...now this UNFAIR MATCHMAKING is making our season bad even though 2 wars ..it shows wat we are going to get next..i request @Kabam Miike @Kabam Zibiit @Kabam Porthos @Kabam Vydious @Kabam Lyra and also @kabam crashed to look into this n plz sort dis or gives an insught into dis n solve our query.. thankyou

What’s your war rating at the moment?

Can you check the war rating of your opponent? What was their rating?

Supersha7

The power of your own alliance doesn’t get factored in to the matchup.

Whatever your war rating is, you’ll be matched with an alliance of similar war rating.

Sometimes that means an alliance that’s doing the same as you, so same strength.

Sometimes it’s a big alliance chilling. So vastly stronger.

Sometimes it’s a smaller alliance pushing hard.

Our rating is 3168 and the other two we faved one was 3356 and 3234

If those are the “current” War Ratings for them all, you have to go back to what the WR was at the time of your wars against them (not adjusted from winning/losing these last 2 wars).

3168 vs 3234 (assuming the 3234 was this past war, and that you lost), is diff of 66.
Go check what you had for -/+ in this past war.
If you dropped 33 (and assume opponent similarly gained 33), then that means you would have been exact same WR when you were matched for this war that ended earlier today.
**it's probably not 33 exactly, but you get the idea, it would have been close to each other.

And for 2 wars ago, you were probably +33 and +33 lower now than you were for that war. And opponent (if 33 each time and won twice), would have been at (3356 - 66 = 3290) at the time of your war against them. While you might have been 3234.
**if actual changes were higher than 33, that would have made that difference even closer than what I just calc'd in last sentence,

We started this season at 3169 and won the first war which brought us to 3201 we gained 33 points and we lost the second war which brought us back to 3168 we lost 32 points cuz they were way stronger than us
