War matchmaking does take ally rating into account
Just wanted to say that i see alot of people always saying war matchups are based on war rating only.
And do not take ally rating or prestige into account. This is untrue. Rating of your ally is clearly taken into consideration.
My ally was previously a 5 mil ally and we were getting matchups between 3.5 and 6 mil consistently.
We grew to a 7 mil ally and we consistently facing 6 -7.5 mil allies.
Now since war season ended we have gone through a major restructure and are now a 8.5 mil ally and we have not been matched up with an ally woth a rating lower than 8mil.
This is despite our war rating fluctuating alot. When we were 5mill ally we climbed as high as tier 5 getting same matchups.
Atm we are all the way down in. tier 11 and striggling to climb worse now as we are getting matchups against allies of the same rating.
When we were lower rating our few Stronger guys could push through and get some bg clears whilst our defences could hold our opposition out. Evn wen we were in tier 5.
Now we are down in tier 11 8mil allies will plow through the defences as the nodes are easier and who wins comes down to exploration amd attacker bonus.
This is not a complaint it is merely informing people that alliance rating is taken into account and wars are much much easier and you can climb toers much quicker if you have a few strong people in each bg amd the rest as weaklings
