The game experienced a brief connectivity issue this morning. The team promptly fixed the issue and things are back to normal, thank you to everyone who passed along reports!
15.0 Alliance Wars Update Discussion Thread

Just go back and look at all the screenshots of AW scores that were posted. Even though you have diversity, its always the alliance who placed less defenders that won the war.
I don't need to go back and look at anything. They didn't place unique defenders only. Simple math tells me that 175 (unique defender) > 150 (attacker kill).
So much fail in this thread.
Placing less defenders will not beat a fully diverse defence. People are losing because there placing the same champions over and over, that is what's costing you. Providing you keep your ratio at 1-1 for defenders placed vs unique defenders you will still win.
Exactly this, unbelievable how much stupidity is going around the forums and reddit about placing no defence lol
Yup exactly. If you place over at least 130 diverse champs, you can win over any alliance with zero defense.
Thats around 45 unique champs for BG. When all the resources went to few champs that were good in defense. Whats the point of AW then, its now reduced to just showcase our DIVERSE champs no matter what rank or star they are. To get that many diverse champs we need to dig in to our 3* champs too. Thats right their is the biggest fail. Lets start calling them diverse wars. Not sure why you want to continue with this ridiculous setup instead of fixing the flaws.
Sorry it's 121. I missed a thing.
Well in current system, you have to do that if you want to win. Since there are no defender kills, why even use your good champs. Use them in quests etc. Just use diverse champs and win the war.
Agreed it's a totally broken system but it is what it is.
It's also likely it was an oversight (I'm leaning more towards this one). I get the sense anyone running the beta was given clear instructions, full bgs faced full bgs. They weren't told to be 'sneaky' and try and find the flaws.
You want a good beta team? Ask your top rated exploiters to run new content for you, and if they can find a flaw, reverse permanent bans placed on them. They would have figured this one out on the first day of the beta testing on AW 2.0. =P
Miike was busy over the weekend. He put me in jail for flagging grounded wisdom s post and cursing. So there is that
Secondly, is the scoring system going to stay the same?
Respectfully, we need feedback before Wednesday @Kabam Miike .
The increased power gain is affecting Dr. Strange passive power gain.
Please check this
I noticed this when running up against ds earlier in the map on powergain
Totally agree here. It seems like the few people who are commenting positively about these changes were the ones who took the view that defense can't win wars...and then complained when they lost to alliances that put resources and time into defense.
With the first round of Alliance Wars coming to a close soon, the Team agrees that some adjustments need to be made to the new scoring system, as well as some other possible adjustments to the mode.
We don't know what those are at this time, or what needs to be done, so we can't give you any more information right now, but rest assured that we are already starting discussions on what needs to be done.
Stay tuned, and we'll update you as soon as we can.
NO! Only this please
Just reduce the amount of points for attacker kills slightly. You may or may not choose to reintroduce defender kills. I don't care about that
There's about 32 pages in here that could give you guys a few talking points to get started with. Just saying. Checking in with the community that regularly plays might be beneficial.
