125 points for diversity? 50 points for attacker kills? I guess Fallout was wrong, war can change

When you guys at Kabam announced war changes (where is the flare node?) you very specifically said "This scoring system will not award large amounts of points, and will act more as a tiebreaker than a game changer."....

As of today's announcement defender diversity now counts 2.5x more than attack kills! (125 points to 50).... in other words if we put full diversity on our war maps, then lose the attack phase 2:1... we still win!

Yay? What is going on here?!

from the original thread by @Kabam Miike ...

Points Breakdown:
Node Exploration: 300 per Node (equals out to before, when it was 450)
Boss Kill: 20 000 Points
Defenders Placed: 50 per Defender Placed
Defender Diversity: 125 per Unique Defender
Defender Rating: 0.002 per PI
Attacker Kills: 150 per Kill

Attacker kills are now 50 points?!

Why can't you just bring back defender kills? It's such an easy fix!

Kabam will never admit they were wrong and reverse a decision. They will just continue to do the bare minimum to appease the masses

Not totally true... they did a major correction after 12.0

You're right. If the whale boycott and their game rating drops so that people won't download the game, and they see articles on tech websites which discuss how to kill a profitable game, all while they are tying to sell the game for big bucks, they will "listen." Lmao

We still have challenger rating and diminishing returns. The entire concept of the 12.0 update was flawed. They did take away block penetration but judging from 5.3 they have managed to find a different path for the same result. In the end they gave off an appearance of a major shift and imo have slowly been working their way back to it

Wars have clearly lost the element of skill. If they left attack kills and brought back defender kills (maybe at 50 points per instead of the previous 100), and added in some more difficult nodes (like Bane or maybe even skill would still matter and alliances would have to find that balance between strong defenders and diverse defenders. Make AW a chess match. It's clearly still broken.

Lol @ wars have clearly lost the element of skill... not one aspect of alliance war was about skill. Matter of fact, not one part of this game is has any element of skill.
