Okay guys, we probably let this thread go on longer than we should have, and it's time to shut it down.
To the OP: We're sorry that you were presented with a hard matchup, but the reason for the matchmaking system to be based on War Rating is a simple one: It's the only one that adjusts based on your Alliance's performance. As you win Wars, you rise up the ranks, as you lose them, you start to fall down the ranks.
As you win or lose matches, you start to settle into a place that is more comfortable for your Alliance. There will be occasional matches like this, but the more matches that more alliances have, the less and less this will happen.
You're going to win some, but you're also going to lose some. This is the nature of performance based rankings and metrics.
