Potential Delay to v44.1 Launch
We are currently working through some issues that may affect the release window of v44.1. This means that the update may not release on Monday as it usually does. We are working to resolve the issue holding us up as quickly as possible, but will keep you all updated, especially if the delay results in any changes to the content release schedule.

1: What global nodes have you faced this season so far
2: A map full of R5 5*’s, R2 6*’s and R3 6*’s
3: What boss have you faced most of the time?
Please answer these questions to see if you actually deserve a top spot
I.e. they fix match making so that newer and lower ranked players and the alliances they inhabit get matched on prestige and rating, to give new players in 2m to 6m alliances equal matches, so that they feel like they are progressing.
You get now people taking part in war and spending money; and wanting to spend to climb the ranks, as it is possible to do so.
If they matched only on war rating and ignored prestige, those smaller alliances would barely get out of stone, so would be far less likely to spend.
What's more important, getting the top 200 alliances to spend, when they will do anyway, or getting the top 10,000 to spend?
They likely won't match you against someone of equal size in a lower war tier. Especially if you've been on a win streak. If you're winning the majority, eventually matchmaking will give you a much greater challenge. Apparently, you've hit that point. If you manage to win, then you earned that place. If you lose, maybe matchmaking will throw you a bone in the next war. Then again, maybe not if there continues to be a lack of options. Hard to say. Things get dicey up there after all.
I think about halfway through last season they changed it back to matching via war rating. But there was a season and a half where you were probably beating up alliances around your prestige which raised your war rating. NOW that high war rating is hurting you because Kabam changed the algorithm back to match via war rating again. So you are going to have some tough matchups.
Like some other people said, this isn't your fault, Kabam changed the matchmaking system again which is the real criminal here.
1 War matchup by a single Ally does not bear this out that the Matchmaking system has now just been changed.
Will probably have to wait and see if this is the case now going forward or not.
The matchmaking system should not look at alliance rating but war rating only.
The lower rated alliances shouldn't be up in the upper tiers if they can beat the alliances that are larger and have more developed rosters.
Your right this system is a mess but not for what you are pointing out here. I would say you have no business being that high if you cant contend with the all alliances in that tier regardless of pi.
For instance @Grandmaster007 this is my personal defense right now with flow global node. Got a R2 6* G2099, R5 warlock, BW CV, magik and symbiote supreme as well for flow global. Also a R5 mephisto, DH and doom if you want other great defense options.
That means I can easily place 3 full teams of defense that are hard to kill, all at R5 5* or R2 6*. Is it fair that you still need to fight 4/55 champs and be in platinum 1 if I always need to fight 5/65’s, R2 6*’s and R3 6*’s while keeping our death count a lot lower than yours?
Lower alliances that had been able to climb up too high of a spot because they didn’t seem to have to fight any of the higher Prestige alliances that they started to move up past in War Rating placement before.
** Might not be able to keep your inflated ranking anymore unless you can actually beat some of them now.
War rating is all thing we should care about.
They are playing each other right now.
