Hilarious. Just hilarious 👏👏👏
Also, the matchmaking for the past 10 seasons has been going off of either your alliance prestige or alliance rating, war rating has played a very tiny part in matchmaking for almost a year, so if you’ve been unable to climb the ranks it’s because you just weren’t good compared to other alliances at your alliance rating/prestige level.
Under the new system, which now matches on war rating primarily, the more you lose, the easier your opponents become in terms of skill and roster. Under the old, flawed system, losing didn’t lead to easier matches.
If anything, for many it led to more stressful matches as Wars came down to 1-2 deaths.
Your argument, is again, wrong and moot.
Even tho we were always bronze 1. We have never been able to come up because our war rating is abnormally high, which is why they need to lower war rating instead of rank. If you were our position your opinion would be completely different.
Tbh, I’m trying to figure out how you had a 1600 war rating but could only reach bronze 1, and I think it’s one or multiple of;
You run 1-2 BGs
You don’t/can’t kill war bosses
Your alliance is very unorganised
So you can't compare a Bronze 1 alliance against a Gold 3 alliance when they were not fighting with the same number of participants or even possibly the same number of wars last season. Two alliances exactly equal in fighting strength could end up in those widely separated brackets if they were not participating at the same level, and there seems to be no way those two alliances were participating at the same level last season given the brackets they ended up in.
This is yet another reason why it is so important to focus *only* on war rating, and not on anything else. When people focus on other things, like season bracket, which are influenced by things completely different from strength like number of participants or number of wars fought, they reach the wrong conclusions consistently.
We aren’t going up against bronze 1 teams, we are going up against gold alliances, and it makes it way too unfair on us.
This system does not rob the ability to win from people, it rewards you if you win against equally matched people and punishes you if you cannot, but to get to that there is an adjustment period. This case does not even to be an example of the adjustment period, just that a gold alliance got bad and dropped down. It happens.
Sorry guys, GW is right, can’t argue with the point he made here.
And I don’t know how we have that kind of war rating, it’s so confusing, and I wish kabam would just cut our rating in half again so we can start fight more fair matches. Also our alliance used to be 10 mil but our alliance fell apart at one point and we had to build it back up full of newer less experienced players.
It’s been very hard just to simply maintain the alliance, not just war
