We dropped from tier 1 to 2. That's a critical loss in points for our last war that may keep us out of Masters.

We dropped from t5 to t6 when war was u suspended.
Thanks Zibiit 😀
Seemed more noticeable this time probably because was a whole week in between wars (unless your had more of an effort last week to remove even more dead ones than normal). But even normally, there is the occasional post up here during every season saying same thing happens, just to a very small amount of teams (and nobody ever believes them, lol).
SUGGESTION... Even though New or Deleted Alliances may occur during a season, could Kabam LOCK the “Denominator” # of Ally's at the START OF A SEASON, and then only increase/decrease that 100% Denominator # (used for % Tier calculation) AFTER EACH SEASON ENDS.
So let’s say there are 10,000 alliances.
Tier 5 is the top 4-5% of all Alliances, or about 100 alliances (5% of 10,000 minus 4% of 10,000 = 500-400 = 100)
Now let’s say that Kabam removes 20% of that 10,000 as they are “dead alliances” And we’re down to 8,000 alliances. Suddenly, 20 of those 100 alliances in tier 5 are now tier 6!
The example of 2 alliances - 1 on the up, the other on the way down. A poor alliance starting in tier 3 and losing will have benefitted from staying in tier 3 as there are more spots available. The upcoming alliance (us) lose out as we’re in tier 4 for longer. We won this war just gone at tier 4 again and moved up 11 spots in plat4. Had it been in tier 3 we would have been very close or even in plat3. No doubt some worse alliances are still above us because of earlier losses that were in tier 3 that would now have been in tier 4.
This explanation makes sense.. but why would this occur during the season? Shouldn't this be something which takes place during the 2 week off season as to NOT have an impact on regular season play as has happened in this circumstance? One other question.. if this happens arbitrarily.. then in a way regardless how we preform during the season.. the game mechanics behind the scenes actually dictate our standings in war. That would seem to defeat the purpose of the competitive aspect..
I honestly can’t believe that comment was even made.
This was also not the first thread on this issue
Not sure if those replies were serious or not. Obviously means alliances where probably nobody is even logging in anymore, or doing anything, and for long enough obviously means longer than just taking a couple of wars off.
They don't even reclaim a Summoner Name from a “dormant” account until something like 500 days, although removing dormant Ally's from Tier ranks probably happens faster than 500 days.
But as others have agreed, any change to number of participating alliances for Tier Calculations should only be done INBETWEEN SEASONS.
We dropped from top 20 war rating to top 100 after we started the season with two wins, but lost the third war.
But we still see shells having higher war ratings then us, although they don’t participate in AW. The shorter season enhanced this issue even more. How is this fair?
So have Multipliers adjust in increments of 1/100th of a whole, in very small alliance groupings from one 1/100th to the next.
With an additional bonus amount of multiplier based on the ACTUAL MAP you are playing on (reflective of typical increase in costs / items used to complete that higher map, as well as probably earning less “base points” because of probably getting killed more often and losing more of your Attack Bonus's on each higher level of map).
Also I directed my question to @Kabam Zibiit not you
