**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.

There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.
Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

Alliance War Matchmaking unfair [Merged Threads]

- clearing monthly and some story content,
- grinding arenas,
- using the units earned from arenas and questing to buy deals for signature stones like those on the 4th July and Cyber Monday, and
- having some luck in pulling champs worthy of taking to r5 sig 200.
So being free to play has little to do with this issue as far as I am concerned. And I also quite disagree with not being able to check AW leaderboards. If @QuikPik could make a whole spreadsheet checking the prestige of the alliances in Platinum and Gold, what’s so hard in making a few taps to check the leaderboards?
How would you keep track of your placement in war if you don’t check to see where you are on the leaderboards, and compare your standing to the other alliances above and below you?
And if you focus war you dont need prestige. So you focus on strong offense war attacker or strong defense. I just tried to explain that not every P1 with ~9.500 prestige tried to active abuse the old matchmaking
You say the wars are unfair, I think they’re perfectly fair, doesn’t matter what their alliance rating is, majority of these screenshots have a few things in common;
1. The war ratings are almost the exact same (saw 1 anomaly where the war rating difference was 100, that sucks but not common).
2. The previous season placement is almost always the same, +/- 1 bracket.
So that means... you’re being matched fairly as you’re fighting opponents going after the same rewards, so beat them or accept that you benefitted from a broken system that is now correcting itself.
Of course the first few matches you encounter if the system starts steering away from prestige as the primary factor will be quite hard. And I'm not making light of it. I'm sorry you'll have to go through it. But eventually as it evens out, you'll be facing reasonable matches again. Except now, the only difference will be that you guys are all in the appropriate tier and have an appropriate war rating for the size of your alliance. The prestige focused matching unintentionally created a situation where smaller alliances were passing larger more experienced ones in tier and war rating because they never had to face them. We (alliances with 10k+ prestige) got a really bad deal the last few seasons because of it. Again, I'm sure it frustrating and I'm sorry for that, but its more of a natural correction process than it is unfair.
AW matchmaking needs to be based on War Rating as the main factor. I feel for the alliances that benefited from the Prestige based matchmaking, but you were not fighting teams within the same bracket. There are alliances that were killing themselves to be in Platinum, that found themselves in Gold 1-2. If you are in a bracket, you should be able to fight at that level. If you cannot, you do not belong in that bracket.
I am not in a Master Alliance but a Gold 1-2. It might be unpopular position, but there is no shame in a lose. I know it hurts now, but this should have been addressed when @QuikPik brought it up about 3 months ago. The correction would have been less impactful if it was changed back in January when Quik first mentioned this issue.
Once things calm down and recalibrate, you will find yourself fighting teams with similar skill. If you are in a bracket, you should be able to compete... even against a top notch defense. If you need to spend on pots, boosts, revives... welcome to what those 9500-10500 prestige alliances do regularly. If you can’t clear the map, don’t spend... you are most likely in a bracket that is too competitive for your current setup.
Unless you face harder matches, you cannot grow. Instead, you will become stagnant fighting the weaker teams that you regularly beat with ease judging by your inflated War Rating.
But the system pushes Noname to number 1 in the world is just wrong and bs at maximum level.
This just wasn't cool 😢
You’re fighting over the similar rewards.
Sort all alliances enlisted in war by the following:
- War Ratings first; followed by
- Alliance Rating / Prestige
Then #1 fights #2, #3 fights #4, so on and so forth.
Eventually the leaderboards will even itself out.
I have last war so hard.. Opponent was double rating than my alliance..plz take action about this..and give me suitable war for my alliance are
Thank you
Why should a lower rated alliance only face other lower rating alliances and be rewarded with the same season ending prizes as alliances they haven’t had to face as the system as been heavily weighted in their favour?
The only reason this match and other matches are lopsided is because the system was broken in the first place, all this does is reinforce how much it needed to change as you can clearly see that the matchmaking system was seriously flawed.
Plain and simple, if you can beat the teams around you regardless of alliance rating, prestige or war rating you deserve to finish where you have been.
If you can’t then suck it up and grind it out like everyone else with a higher rating account has.
This. Prestige should have never been a factor. That was Kabam’s mistake and now these over-rated alliances are paying for it. It’s going to take a few weeks of regular season wars to drop these alliance’s ratings down to where they belong.
You’re upset because you’re now having to face alliances in the exact same tier who are getting the exact same prizes.
If you can beat them you can get the same stuff.
Pretty bloody simple pal.
I also never proclaimed to be good or skilled, I also don’t expect to be getting plat rewards when I’m using 4/55’s
It needed correcting and this is the result, it won’t be back to normal again until every alliance finds their level.
At 10k in tier 4/5 most of the fights are against r5 defender's, the nodes have the trickiest and often maxed out new defender's on them e.g. mojo, nova.
At 8.3k in tier 4/5 you sometimes face r4 mini's, hardly face a r5 on a normal path fight.. sometimes you'll see r3's on the map.
For me the matchmaking change is completely the right thing to do. I hadn't realised how broken prestige matchmaking was until I witnessed the difference in difficulty first hand.
Here is the simple logic To save 200 more posts. If you are sat in t2 with a 2900-3100 and a low prestige ally then don’t be surprised when you run into a 30-40m ally again.. it will happen for next 10 wars until u fall back to where you rather and hero’s belong
