I’m guessing the sizable drop in T4a and shatter tokens from Plat 4 to Plat 5 matters to allys that got “resorted” after the team monkeyed around with byes and whatnot yesterday.

That's it. It's half a T4A, which is significant for all of our players. 3,000 more 7* shards don't hurt either.
Sadly I don't expect Kabam to take any action. We've filed a ticket with support, I'm sure they'll tell us to pound sand. I'd like to be proven wrong, but sadly I don't expect Kabam to deal with the negative consequences of their actions on this.
That’s the issue, really. No one seems to actually know.
You’re not wrong.
What is a “bye” worth? Is it 100% possible points? If so, why? No one gets that. If it’s less, what’s the reasoning there? Why wait until season end to pop make-up points into the “affected” alliances?
This particular bug doesn’t harm me (as far as I know) since we play easy single-BG AW. We were going to wind up where we wound up pretty much regardless of how the last 4-5 wars ended up.
But what bothers me is the overall approach (or lack thereof) to redressing things when they go awry, as they frequently do. AW is one just example; intercept issues are another; Raids another; champion-specific bugs yet another. Input failures, whiffing—you name it, we got it.
If there’s a coherent approach to redressing all of this, I confess it eludes me. Sheer resignation to the state of things by Summoners has become pretty commonplace.
Do some things get fixed? Sure they do, and sometimes reasonably promptly. But the normal effort seems more akin to “phone it in” than the Collector’s old “Contest hasn’t lived up to my standards” approach.
Perhaps I expect too much. A new update is just a week away and this could be the best one yet.
The concept of the bye in the context of AW is particularly weird. I am by no means an expert on lots of different mobile games, but usually the cencept of a bye is used in a bracket-style event where there’s a fixed number of participants. In AW, where allys can move between tiers, it’s hard to understand what a bye actually does. Seems like it would have been cleaner to just cancel the first war for everyone and shorten the season.
