I thought we had now fair War matchmaking?

you are in plat2. The higher in the rankings you get the more spread between the ratings that can occur because you are talking about the top 100 alliances only. The further down the less spread you see because there are more alliances more tightly packed. This assumes 3 bgs.

More and more alliances are quitting war! It is a silent boycott! And as the number of alliances playing shrinks top tier alliances are going to discover they are moving down because of averaging. Maybe when gold tier alliances find themselves ranked as bronze or silver because of averaging, when platinum alliances find themselves sinking to the bottom of the gold tier, they will call for something to be done! With no stone, bronze and silver alliances playing somebody is going to have to fill the void they left.
The participation is shrinking every war. By the end of this season no one but (former) gold, platinum, and Master tiers will he playing! They will have a rude awakening as they see their status slip lower and as their "true war rating" is averaged out across the limited number of alliances playing.
When the loss or gain of a mere 35-45 points can raise or lower an alliance an entire tier it should be obvious no one is playing!
And more importantly that the system is broken and needs fixed!
It is just simple logic! If 2000 alliances are playing (lets just say) they can't all be gold, platinum and master!
And as i have warned before! Be careful what you ask for from kabam! You just might get it! And regret it!

Uhm, you're in P2, they're in P3. Prove you're better and beat them.

They’re in P2, 2 places above the OP

That sounds good for me..

I would not be sad to see the most divisive and exploited game mode gone.

The new matchmaking should be only Warrating vs Warrating. And on that lvl they should play vs Master or P1. Nothing to do with where you stand in the season.

A thats a mismatch. Id be very curious how that match was made.

B theyre in P2 which u think u should have been last season but don't think u can win? Or is this just pointing out the rating gap that really shouldn't be that high for a 3 bg war match (as u said you're not getting wonky 1-2 bG MMing)

@walkerdog

I see what you mean. By robbed:

I mean we got put in T3 from T2 after a win last season. Then we won 2 wars and lost 3 ranks and ended it P3 R7. Then in offseason we got promoted back into T2.

That felt like a hugh middlefinger.

@walkerdog OP is P2, the opponent is P3. So the lower war rating is actually ranked above the higher.. so although it sucks, it kinda makes sense that the match needs to be made, to either bring the OP war rating up, with that gap probably about 70/80 points, or, switch them around on the leaderboards..

I know people aren't going to agree, but if its matching off war rating, the highest war ratings should theoretically be at the top, opposed to giving people the opportunity to use a shell alliance to tank the war rating down, then the following season building it back up.. thats the worst thing about competitive game modes, people will always find an exploit..

Good luck in the war & rest of the season, hope you guys win and stay where you believe you belong 😁

@DoubleDelta

I dont think your arguement makes sense.
Going down and lose Warrating will lose you Tiers as well. Which makes it impossible to earn the same rewards. You can maybe try to tank 1 or 2 war but then your might be in danger of losing a Tier.

The skill indicator is Warrating and nothing else. They are in Tier 1. And they get x8 points when they beat us (a middle P2 alliance at the moment). Is that fair for them or us?

Think about it this way: kenob doesnt play their first war (for example). So next they should face some1 from P2?

I dont even care to much about 1 lost war. But it looks like there are still easy to fix problems in the matchmaking
