AW Matchmaking Cooldown Broken

Hello,

Historically, the Alliance War matchmaking cooldown has been set to 12 wars to prevent repetitive matchups. While this was reduced to 9 last season to accommodate the shorter schedule, it appears the cooldown was not restored to 12 for the current full-length season.

This has already resulted in a rematch between the 2nd and 4th place alliances, effectively eliminating the losing side from podium contention. While this issue has been raised in private chats, there has been no public acknowledgment. Could you please clarify if there are plans to restore the 12-war cooldown or remediate the impact on placements?

There are reports that this STILL hasn’t been updated. If reporting it here isn’t the right path, where should I direct this?

(can't comment on why that might be happening, and well above my grade)

But wondering why the Cooldown would have even needed to be reduced to 9 game cooldown for that shortened 9 game season ? (and thus risk later problem if forgot to put back up to 12 after that season)

If that Cooldown were just kept at a 12 game Cooldown always, what would it have mattered if it was during a 12 game or 9 game season ?? Either way there wouldn't have been a repeat during either the 12 or 9 games.

So (speculating), maybe the Cooldown # in code wasn’t changed, but that some other problem happened to crop up ??

(and, curious, do OFF-Season wars count toward such Cooldown war count, or is it just for IN-Season ?)

Off Season Wars count towards the cooldown thats why Kabam sets it to 9 in 9 Wars Season. Otherwise Alliances that matched in Off Season can not match in On season because of a 12 Wars cooldown in a 9 wars Season. Your speculation is valid but wrong. The issue is 100% the cooldown here. Everyone in Top Masters know it and can see it while using simple math. The main issue is that kabam doesnt care lol. @SummonerNR

This completely destroys a season by the way. Top alliances are spending a lot of units and items just to match an opponent twice. So both alliances are failing the season because they cant match the opponent that would make them able to climb higher. They are just destroying each other twice while the alliances that cant be matched are laughing.

The rematch cooldown was increased back up last season so that Alliances cannot match twice in one standard season.
