I realize a higher prestige alliance is going to place tougher defenders but most of the diversity trash is placed in section 1.
My guess is they are used to steam rolling R5 4* defense that is randomly thrown on the map.
Having acknowledged the Rewards issue several times, your synopsis is incorrect. People continually say that I'm arguing for lower Alliances to earn above their pay grade, and that means either people aren't reading my words, or just don't care to. I'm talking about what legitimately took place. They earned them. No amount of butthurt can argue with the fact that they earned the Rewards they did. That's a fact. They didn't cheat the system, they didn't jump men like a game of Snakes and Ladders, they played their Wars and won. There's a reason no one is even discussing taking the Rewards they earned. They fought, they earned them. What we have here is an unfair situation that allegedly is supposed to resolve an unfair situation, but everyone got what they got by their own doing. The only difference is, the higher Alliances expect lower ones to pay for it by these Matches that are rendering the entire Season invalid because Matches that are grossly overpowered are not a measure of skill. No matter how much we keep debating what took place, it doesn't justify what they're facing.
They haven't exploited anything previously as much as they aren't getting screwed now. You work within the system that's available....at least that's how I've interpreted the same explanation I've been reading for the last 50 pages.
I put a lot of effort into trying to quash silly crystal odds conspiracy myths back in the day. Probably put hundreds of hours into analyzing live streamed crystal openings and performing statistical analysis on a wide range of crystals. But if I'm being honest, what turned the tide on those becoming marginalized was not people like me arguing against them, but rather the people who were arguing in favor of those conspiracy myths. At some point, no one wanted to be on their side.
And another comparison. My R5 sig 200 Warlock got 11 kills on the boss node with Flow and was still standing at the end of the last war. When we face skilled alliances I'm lucky to get 1 kill out of him.
Lower alliances still have a chance of taking the boss and the majority of the points. If they can’t take down 3 lanes (arguably even just 1 lane), the minis and the boss with 10 guys, guess what, they shouldn’t be in that tier (or even 3 tiers lower) in the first place.
It’s a fair matchup by ALL means. If they’re really as skilled as you and they themselves claim to be, show it by taking down the defenders placed with fewer deaths. If they can’t, then it’s really their problem, not Kabam’s, nor the matchmaking.
Like you said here,
“They haven't exploited anything. They Matched their Wars and played them. They don't owe anyone any kind of unfair loss as retribution.”
They matched their wars and played them. So play them.
