Tie Breaker? I think not.

Just closing out our 3rd match in a row of 100%-100% I know we can't fight diversity so we're playing this silly little game, won the first two with diversity and probably gunna lose this one on diversity.
The point is perhaps an argument of semantics, but worth highlighting.
It's football Sunday, so I'll make the comparison, if every football game went into overtime would we not just say that there were in effect 5 quarters to every game....which would make absolutly no-sense but in the same comparison there would only be 1 quarter that mattered which would be the tie-breaking overtime?
So point is, if every game goes to overtime the tie breaker is the only thing the game has become about. Ironically the concept of diversity, has in fact created a uniformity to the wars.
A bit puzzled by the message we got this week..which seemed to read...after all the feedback we have gotten, we have decided to do absolutely nothing about it and at a later date there might be other changes? (Or lack there of)
Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Yea I’m still confused as to why we haven’t striked again. I hope the last people who organized it didn’t get bought out by Kabam
This scenario they are currently admitting flaws and saying they are working towards more changes. It may not be the speed we want to see on these changes but a boycott now would be premature until we have seen the end results of AW.
I've seen a couple ally's go with a full "standard" war defense (hype, magik, mordo, NC, etc) with the goal of blocking exploration, but it didn't work. This is because the nodes themselves are weaker, not necessarily the champs being placed. It's also because the new configuration allows for players to "double up" lines much more easily and still get full exploration (at least 2 attackers per mini-boss). And finally, the only discouragement from just reviving and continuing to bash along is that player's willingness to spend units.
Getting 100% exploration is too easy now. That's what needs to be fixed.
Moving forward, we have 2 options:
1. Continue to play the war as designed and rely on defender rating/diversity. We will continue to complain about diversity being the only thing that matters in war.
2. Really buff the nodes and/or add defender kills back. This will result in the game no longer needing a "tie-breaker" and thus eliminating diversity altogether. Then the threads will switch back to how we're sick of fighting the same 5-6 champs every war.
For me, I'll start ranking up more of my 5* champs (maybe even my Groot) and start using them more in arenas. I'll only rank the 4* that are legitimately worth it for endgame content.
