AW season 19 feedback

So after participating to these first wars it looks to me that AWs are still bad in season 19.
Quality of life improvements: 4/10 (for removing the portals and simplifying the flow)
New nodes: 2/10 (2 is just for removing the ebb/flow in first path 5 nodes)
It stopped to be fun a long time ago.
Better than the pre19, but still a lot of BS nodes that require very specific champs to counter very specific defender.
We're going to see ALWAYS the same defender on some nodes.
Overall experiece is: boring.
And expensive, we're using a lot more items and dying 3 times as much as before.
It's a frustrating cashgrab.
And rewards are still meh in gold2.
Probably better skip this season in our relaxed ally.
What's your experience and feedback?

I agree there are some seriously bad node/tactic/champ combos though.
On the upside, with every war it's becoming more clear how screwed my alliance was getting from the matchmaking system. We are a top 150 AQ ally and we have been finishing in the top 1500 in AW for the past few seasons. That has always seemed fishy to me. Now it's clear how bad the old matchmaking was. I'm glad kabam fixed it.
Under many aspects is clearly something that does not match the latest intentions and promises.
Now before everyone disagrees with me, I still think some of the nodes are horrible. When you combine them with a the tactics and the champs is becomes really hard. It’s hard to bring counters for you line, then counters for mini boss and then boss.
Then the attack tactics. My god, those are almost as useless as the alliances bases that were never used. Lol
If I had to rate this war season off a few things:
QOL- 8 weve been finishing our map really fast
Nodes - 5
Defensive tactics- 0 (Scrap this bad idea)
Offensive tactics - -10 (Scrap this even worse idea or make them actually useful)
I still prefer the old-old AW map, the one that has starburst on it. Maybe I’m just nostalgic. Lol
The hazard shift combinations are a little bit annoying if you don’t have quake (RIP me).
The biggest trial is dealing with the defence tactics. As an officer my biggest path setting concern is countering flow etc. Rather than the path itself. I’ve not found any really horrible node combinations yet.
