I really don't see how they could have done it much better. What's the alternative? Develope some kind of system to issue new war ratings to everyone automatically? Without even fighting wars? Of course not. Literally everyone would be complaining that they didn't receive the rating they deserve, etc. You obviously can't do that. And DNA touched on this. You have to fight the actual wars to create the data.
myself tejsb leader of small alliance called tejsb invincibles,,,i want to drag your attention to inappropriate matchups,,,,in aw ,,,,,we are getting 2-3 inappropriate matchups every single aw season,,,,,,today in aw season 19 first aw we are facing alliance called multiverse legends ,,, yes for sure we both alliances are approximately equal in alliance war prestige 1350,,but both alliances are way too far ahead from each other ,,,, they are having average member rating of 1.1 m & alliance rating of 34 m and we are having average member rating of 0.72m with alliance rating of 21m and we are lagging way behind them ,,, yes for sure we can kill defenders for sure at platinum 4 level but many health portions will has to be dealt ,,,
i request u to plz look into this as we like aw more than aqs and eqs playing in mcoc as it being challenge in nature but aw matchups has to define some logic for matchups
thank you
Liverpool won the premier league (top English division), Coventry city won the EFL league 1 (2 divisions down).
Who deserves the most reward money? Liverpool, obviously, because they had to face far, far stronger teams in every match, the worst team in the premier league would almost certainly beat Coventry.
Now, using this example, under the old matchmaking system, Coventry were being awarded the exact same amount as Liverpool because they both got first in their league. So they were being rewarded like they were equal to Liverpool. (Spoiler: they aren’t).
Now some of you will say ‘but this system is putting Liverpool against Coventry’... and you’re right, but it is temporary and necessary in order to fix the system so that the Coventry’s of MCOC alliances aren’t being rewarded the same amount as the Liverpool’s of Mcoc alliances.
Rewards aside, I prefer AW to AQ - less daily grind, no donations and it's the only truly competitive part of the game. If I want my favourite game mode to thrive then it has to be survival of the fittest. I know that my alliance isn't going to be swinging with the big boys because we run Map5. It's not that we couldn't do Map6 or 7, it's just that it's free, less log ins/coordination, but that doesn't mean that we can't push for high tier AW.
I've got a very well developed roster and have enough rank up materials to rank up what I need, pretty much when I need it from my 250m AQ loot, the only truly desirable loot for me is 6* shards and T5CC which are AW rewards, not AQ.
100% true. You are who you beat. Can't have champions league football and play my Sunday league team, though I would graciously take the qualification money. It's the same principle here, if you can't beat a 45m alliance you shouldn't be above them.
If you're a 20m alliance and beat a 45m alliance - fair play. There's different brackets, they're skill brackets, but they're roster brackets to an extent too.
The alliances who are able to complete AoL, by spending and expanding their rosters were only getting rewarded for LoL equivalent rewards.
That's fundamentally flawed.
You never played vs them before bc your prestige protected you. But being punished for a high prestige cant be the right answere.
In the end you need to beat them if you want the same rewards.
Are the "missmatches" painfull? Yes. But it has to happen to correct war. And it will only take 1-2 weeks to be done with it.
Is this fair?
If you want a tier based system based on alliance prestige where only alliances in a given band range should be matched then the rewards should be tier based as well.
