The Matches were even before. People fought Alliances within the range of what they were working with. That IS what we're talking about. Not how it was off compared to how it would be using this system. The Matches were fair. The Rewards were a different subject entirely and that keeps being shifted as the argument, but we are talking about the Matches. Not the Rewards. They were reasonable and fair Matches. Point blank.
You need to stop trying to pick an argument with me. On here, and in PM.
Ex
Alliance 1 played for years growing their skill and roster
Alliance whaled out on all offers and bought everything they could
Both get matched in the old alliance matchmaking systems. Alliance 2 gets rolled over as they have no skill but big accounts.
This new system takes alliance size out of the equation and will be based on wins and losses only thus making it overall fair.
Yes there will be mismatches to start as you seem to not care about long term results and only care about a few lost wars.
What's worse in the end? An alliance losing out on deserved p2 season rewards or an alliance losing out on a few war win rewards
I could sell all my 1*, 2*, 3* , 4* champs to lower my PI but doesn't change anything I'm capable about doing in the game.
Prestige is similar and doesnt show skill or strength of champ otherwise everyone would want a maxed out Thor Rags which nobody wants aside from the arbitrary number.
Forget about short term consequences for a second and look at the long term results that should come from the change.
The way the old system worked.
You have a series of players.
1) 200lb 10 year old
2) 200lb 20 year old with no skill
3) 15 year old white belt karate kid
4) blue beltbelt in Karate
5) novice mma fighter
6)MMA champion
In the old system they are grouped by the pairs, 1s and 2s keep fighting each other, 3s and 4s keep fighting each other and 5 and 6s kept fighting each other. It did not matter the skill difference between each group. the 10 year old, the 15 year old and the novice did not really enjoy it because dispite the prestige level of the group they kept getting steam rolled. This meant the 20 year old, the black belt and the MMA champion kept getting the top prizes and the others the bottom prizes despite being better. The results of the war looked something like this
1) 10 year old
2) 15 year old
3) novice
4) 20 year old
5) blue belt
6) champion
In the new system they start off facing each other, but the winners face the other winners and the losers face the other losers face the losers until the winners and losers start to look more like the top chart as it probably should be. The matches become more fun because the average battles are matched closer to skill level.
Yes it sucks and is going to wreck the legitimacy of this season. Yes some people are getting the short end of he stick on matches.
Let’s stop literally talking in circles and saying the same things over and over and over again when nothing will change that will fix it other than time.
1) I think kabam could have rolled out the adjustment period off season, but given all alliances the winning amount of shards for losing or winning to encourage everybody to participate and get their correct level outside of season, leaving the top alliances locked like they are, but the mid ranges would have competed for a better start to the season with a better multiplier. And the inflated alliances could have had their bubble popped while collecting shards and not losing their season rewards, (we probably would have still seen complaints like this but for those not realising how inflated their rewards are but definitely a lesser extent.
2) I think newly formed alliances should get matches within 50% of their prestige for 5 wars, then they are on their own. this is to stop the ugly ones we see where a true noob alliance has to face an unranked newly formed vet alliance
As I wonder if some relaxed vet alliances annoyed at the new much harder maps might just flag season rewards and form an alliance where they can win tons of wars with zero items and just collect win shards until they hit their actual plateau.
If you can't beat the 34M alliance, you should probably be in a lower tier than them. You faced them because the old system was messed up and had you guys at the same war rating. You will get matches you can win when you get dropped down to where you belong.
It’s strongest alliance wins. I saw dudes with 4*s in their top champs in Gold 1 while my alliance was fighting 6* r2 defenders in gold 1.
You do not deserve that spot, get back down to silver 2.
Opponent rating
1st war- 5mil
2nd. --- 30mil
3rd --- 18 mil
4th. -- 35 mil
It was just the war rating approx equal for all.
Earlier it was according to the team who played good in the game be it a low level or a high rating alliance. Both got a reward for playing well.
Like you said those of first class who win got reward. Why you want to compete between two class totally incomparable.
But now its a game of 🐈 vs 🐀. Outcome is already known.
Eventually you’ll get the fair matches when you land in the right tier for your alliance.
Also, Prof Hoff is about as reputable as building your doctoral thesis around a Wikipedia page.
This matchmaking is a result of a change in the algorithm to no longer take alliance size and prestige into account. There will be an adjustment period. If you’re a small alliance it’s likely you’ll drop, if you’re a large alliance it’s likely you’re going to rise a bit. I’m 2-3 weeks all will be normal again.
The old system had it so even though the division 3 team was terrible compared to the 1st division team, because they beat other 3rd diversion teams and happened to win more times than the 1st division team did against their far harder opposition, the 3rd division team got better rewards. Now if you think that’s fair, you’re incredibly dense and there’s no hope for you.
The only reason there’s all these mismatches is because it’s rearranged all the ‘divisions’ in order of war ratings, so as far as the matchmaking is concerned, it’s not matching a 3rd division and 1st division team, it’s matching 2 1st division teams, lose enough matches and you’ll be dropped to 3rd division facing 3rd division teams, there you can be happy and prance about fighting stuff like a scary 4* modok and die to it 15 times if needed, you just won’t be getting your 1st division rewards for beating 3rd division teams.
