**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.

I see a perfectly fine alliance 1 spot below us that would've been a better match.
You shouldn’t be at 1800 war rating anyways so just accept that you’ve benefitted from a broken system for far too long.
My alliance has lost 5 AWs in a row and yet we went up 1 level from last Season? While I am happy about that, something is definitely wrong with that logic.
What KABAM should have done is tested this during the offseason, so alliances have time to adjust and feel it out. I'm afraid what this will do to those who were matched "unfairly" is that they will feel being punk'd and quit AW and just focus on AQ.
I think that the best and most fair matches can be made by using the alliance prestige rating or a combination of the alliance prestige rating and its war rating. Of all the statistics that KABAM can use, the alliance prestige rating and its war rating are the only ones that is hard to "game" to get a favorable matchup in AW. This will also stop (or slow down) the practice of selling champs just to lower the alliance's rating to get a better matchup in AW, as prestige rating is not affected by that practice.
For example: Noname had 2nd highest war rating after kenob and they never ever faced them yet until 2 wars ago. Same goes for los mirmidones, howk, ghostwarriors and meet your makers company and they are in still in master right now and previous 2 seasons. That’s what the problem is.
Alliances like 4loki, nyc guardians, new nation, SAS, ASR, ISO-8 anonymous would all wipe the floor with them but they couldn’t cause they never faced them.
I can think of 50 alliances that deserve platinum 1 and master more than noname. And yes it isn’t their fault that they never faced them but complaining now that they finally do and think it’s unfair is ridiculous cause they never deserved to be in master and platinum 1 to begin with
Also this comparison ignores one fact. Those with the larger roster and more developed rosters typically have played this game much longer and as a result tend to have a fairly deep level of skill. Also they spend a lot more if they aren’t as highly skilled to stay in those alliances. I would say typically those alliances are better than the ones you are facing and even if you played a 4* war only they would beat you pretty handedly.
Now shuffling the affected alliance will still do good in there respective grouping but get rewards calibrated to there current level. That’s the crux of all of this. The rewards need to match where you are at in game. If you cant compete against the top tier alliances then you don’t deserve top tier rewards. This is regardless of how well you are doing against similar alliances.
You can be the best of your size and get better rewards than everyone of your size. That does not mean you should be in upper plat tiers getting those rewards. The rewards should match what would be good for your current place in the game with the best you can do against EVERY alliance. Not just those that are equal in rating.
This serves to make sure people aren’t taking broken paths to reward that are beyond where they are at in game and rewards that in reality they aren’t deserving of and other are.
And other item is while I hate it wars are intended to be competitive. There is nothing competitive about playing weaker alliances and placing above alliances that would destroy you.
That's like a local youth soccer team getting crowned Premier League champion in England bc they went undefeated against other youth teams.
