**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.

There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.
Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

War Matchmaking is busted

there are also likly to be little variance between the defense of a 15m alliance and a 25m alliance, because there is a lot of players in the alliance that can offset that, further making prestige and alliance rating pointlesss.
Don’t get me wrong I love your attitude of “there’s nothing that can’t be done.” Generally I share it. But that’s the point some of us are trying to make:
That because roster depth and breadth varies so much, and because matchmaker can make some very uneven matches, players with lower ranked and less diverse rosters cannot win certain fights or beat some alliances with much more champs of a much higher rank.
If all the guys in a plat 1 alliance leave and make a new alliance, the early fights that alliance enters into will basically be unwinnable for the opposing alliance, BECAUSE of the strength of the champs they place on defense as well as the skill and strength of the champs they can attack with on offense.
That doesn’t necessarily mean the opposing alliance wasn’t skillful enough. They may just not have had the dps or depth or quality of roster to overcome the champs the Forbes plat alliance placed without timing out.
Sorry if this is a double post. I tried to edit and it got deleted.
1/ where should be the entry point for this new alliance and
2/ is it "fair" that they don't start from zero?
These "impossible matches" arent even that impossible. If you face 10-15 million higher alliances they prob suck or dont care about war and are AQ focused.
Otherwise they would not be this low. They prob have a lot of ppl that place with suicides (that hurts the defense a lot and makes a lot of otherwise hard fights a cakewalk) and they may even have their main attacker in AQ.
We are between P2-3 and T2-3.
If we face 45 million alliances its often easier than 30 millions (thats our rating as well).
If you keep reading on the forum about why warrating is better than prestige/alliance rating you will understand why its here IF you are open minded. We got P1 in the old system bc we had easier matches. But it was just not fair.
If everyone in plat 1 leaves and creates new alliances the battles will still be mechanically beatable, the alliances may not be capable due to their skill level, but they are not unbeatable. In addition why would a p1 alliance want to recreate? They will lose their bonuses and therefore finish lower in 1, maybe 2 seasons.
No one including Kabam actually gave any ideas to try to mitigate the damage and we are still here with mis-matches. People saying anyone skilled can take down anything are not honestly deluding themselves. No amount of skill can bridge the gap in account size when it comes to AW.
Let me be clear so that people don't start saying I want the old system back. I don't. It was a disadvantage to many alliances since they had high prestige. We cannot prevent mis-matches in any system because of the vast number of alliances present and some of them doing 2BG, 1BG and some forming a new one, and some not even serious and doing itemless ones. But, it could have been lessened.
This may well be the only case I can ever remember where I’d disagree with you. But just a little disagreement.
I would expect someone in a master alliance to have, and probably place, Wolverine Weapon X on defence.
There is no one in a stone alliance that would be able to do this.
1) even at a lower prestige you can have the exact same defense
2) even at a lower alliance pi you can have the exact same defense.
