Is it me or AW doesn’t add up! Our last war was victory by a landslide but the previous we lost by a little but get this...? We had 9 to their 10 members playing we beat their final boss 3 hours before they cleared ours. We have more defense kill but they won by clearing more of our map? I’m like WTF! Can someone tell me what is going on? How is this possible

(B) on the war you lost, you had huge amount of unexplored (missed) nodes. At least 7 missed defenders, as well as probably some other “Empty” nodes because they were missing some defender spots. ALL of those (times 3) counted for huge difference in Attack Bonus in their favor that you failed to accumulate in Attack Bonus points.
(C) if you beat their boss well before they beat yours (which doesn’t matter, by the way), how is it you failed to explore the rest of the map ?
(D) oh, and they also had higher Diversity (again, points) even though they had 5 less defenders on the map. You must have placed a lot of Dup's.
To address a couple of your points specifically:
1) War is not a race. There are no points awarded for a speedrun. It would be unfair to people in certain timezones.
2) you had less people place for war which led to less points for defender diversity.
3) you gave their alliance extra points by leaving defender alive as well as hurting your score by not getting those exploration or attack bonus points.
100% map clear vs your 88%
147 vs 119 attack bonus. You some how died more to their defenders while leaving 7 of them up.
Again, you left 7 of their defenders up.
They were more diverse on defense than your ally as well.
If you can't see why you lost, no one can help you.
You still think this is evenly matched?
Don’t care what you say if it’s you then you’ll have the gripe but since its me you can say why you want!
I’m not dumb not my match is wrong
!
Silver vs. bronze
And those were prior to the new Matchmaking by WR system that has since started with the beginning of the new season,
If you meant that the matches themselves were mismatched (as now they might be for a while with new season, see other thread you have since found now), that didn’t come thru in initial post.
It looks like we matched based on the war rating, but clearly the teams are mismatched in terms of strength. Does that mean that our alliance was overrated last season? Or were they super under-rated last season? Just trying to wrap my little noodle around this.
Silver 3 for relative new Ally of yours, under 2m rating, basically only had to fight similar low rated Ally’s in previous seasons, so we’re able to move up past Bronze and into Silver range. Especially if you only ran 1 BG (so only 1 BG's worth of points) in previous seasons Silver-1 would have been too high.
Opponent, even if they were that high of rating previously, probably a very relaxed/casual, maybe only 1 BG wars. They were kept lower having to fight other strong/casual teams (even way down there). Or were a re-built team so very little War Rating resuming this season.
New system this season matches just by War Rating, so over time those casual Ally’s with strong champs will not be able to stay way down in Bronze (or even low Silver) anymore. And yours will move down with losses to those higher teams.
P.S. they finished Stone 2 last season so they obviously weren't trying very hard in war. They obviously didn't even run 12 wars to get so few points.
Will the war ratings basically be win/loss records and it'll all settle after a season? And if so, will continuing to participate in war this season help the system calculate better? Or can I just wait till next season when its all balanced and stuff?
I think maybe I'm getting it..
On the other hand, if you were to skip war entirely, your ratings might be too high/low in the overall picture, and the balancing will come eventually when you start wars again.
