Short term pain for long term gain.
Smaller alliances face similar prestige alliances.
Larger alliances faced similar prestige alliances.
So was both facing alliances they was equipped to face. All this fighting easy fights is not true and all this shows is higher prestige alliances cant win against similar prestige alliances.
A fix for this would have been as simple as doing different leaderboards based on prestige.
All we can hope is that this doesn't destroy to many alliances. Next season it should even out as kabam actually done 1 correct thing and halfed AW rating.
It was a broken system. Now you are facing alliances who have similar WAR RATING. That’s how war should be. You face the best of the best in your war rating bracket. If you can’t beat them then you have been milking the old system far too long. If you can beat them then kudos you deserve to be placed higher than them.
That’s how this system SHOULD work. Not the old way. It will balance out after a season and you’ll receive the rewards you deserve.
How will you grow you say? You need to recruit members who are willing to put in the work to grow. All alliances began at 0 at one point and grew from bronze to silver to gold to platinum. You don’t wake up one morning and think “oo we’re gonna be in p3 today!” No you work your way up the right way
Some were collateral damage previously in the old system, some are collateral damage now in the new system. End of the day, I would like to believe that every alliance would like to end up where they would be based on a fair system and not because of a system that might be benefitting some more than others.
When two 40m alliances get matched up it's literally a tossup who will win. Rosters are deep, guys are very experienced and skilled. Literally one mistake can cost you a war. Points are so close guys were losing by 10-50 points all the time. How many wars did you face like that. None.
We're all in the same pool and have to compete with everyone else.
Its not fair when an alliance with 10 million alliance rating and no rank 5 5*s are getting t5cc when they have no use for them while alliances with many members 10k+ prestige competing for useless t4cc as they all have an abundance of them.
They matchmaking was broken and is now in the process of fixing itself
If you have the same war rating then you should be able to win or this shows how broken the last system was
Best analogy I’ve heard was“ you are a 7 yo who did so well at his 2nd grade exam he got to jump to 6th grade, and since he’s 7 every time they test him they give him grade 2 exams and he thinks he’s smarter than the 12yos in his class because he scores 95% on his grade 2 exams and they can only score 60% on their grade 7 exams. While I’m a 60% 12yo student who got dropped to grade 2 but keeps getting tested with grade 7 exams and they won’t let me graduate Grade 2 until I get 80% On my g7 exam, while teaching me only grade 2 lessons.
it is terrible that they did it the same time as the new nodes which are much harder than they Used to be, and I understand how demoralising it is to face a season where half the wars will be very very hard, but I had 9 seasons of that, this is a fair system so broken by so long a time of unfairness that it’s taking a while to even back out, to fair matchups again
Thats the only reason I can see why last season was unfair as stated a 11mill alliance should Not get the same rewards. However a 11 mill alliance should never face a 45 mill alliance.
Both systems doesn't work and leaves no middle ground. Last season was fair due to prestige but not fair rewards. This season unfair fights also **** rewards.
However kabam won't do this as it means more rewards and that evident by their update to the rewards already. Completely missing out their new customers and growing player base.
So sir, where will you put the cutoffs?
10k? The 9.9k will complain.
8k, the 7.9k will complain.
6k, the 5.9k will complain.
And how do you determine a cutoff? By some arbitrary magical number you pluck out from the sky? (See the issues here?)
Also, how will you scale the rewards?
Below 6k gets 4* shards? Below 9k get 5* shards? See the subjectivity and arbitrarity of it?
The new system will automatically fix the matching once the tiers are correctly sorted. Once sorted, you will be able to win as many as you possibly can, before some other alliance will narrowly beat you. Then you’ll win another war, and maybe fight another alliance that you narrowly win. Then the next match gets slightly harder and you lose.
At the end of the day, if you’re at a 50% win rate at a certain war rating, that’s your correct war rating.
Rewards can easily be sorted depending on which prestige bracket you are placed in.
I've literally just thought of this today im sure if kabam put their team towards it they would fine polish it.
Letting things fix themselves is never a good option. This will destroy so many alliances and most dont care and just fill in titled.
Therefore, rewards should be fair too. You shouldn’t arbitrary limit the top rewards based on an alliance’s prestige. Everyone should get a chance to fight for those rewards, hence, a unified reward system is required.
Also, you should always design systems that fix themselves. If it relies on manual inputs, then it’s a bad system to have in the first place. By doing so, it opens up the system to subjectivity based on personal biases.
Like I said, give the war ratings time to equalize. It’s 10 seasons of bad matchmaking trying to be fixed in 1. If alliances break apart, that’s on them and the alliance leadership. The game won’t fail, people will continue to play.
Of course the game will still live on but they will see a dip this month for sure. I'm a officer of a plat 3 21mill alliance(atm) we've won 2/4 and will lose this one. Our alliance will still reach plat 4 this season.
However trying too get everyone in the alliance to see there is still hope is alot of work. Especially death match after death match.
But anyways kabam would never change things so is kinder a minute conversation lol my alliance will survive but I'm sure many will fall.
