If an alliance which had 30 members in the same position, the alliance rating would be around 13m.
If I were then in a war against an alliance with a rating of 25m, other than the occasional rank 2 6*, they will also be placing maxed 5*, should I feel like I’m going to lose just because they’re almost double the size?
Now you’re wanting to take other factors into consideration?
0 to 300k with 8 Max 5*s. Not unless they're not new. Natural progression.
I don’t sell champions so that’s not why the ratings on the alts are lower. I don’t have a single maxed out 3* and a only a handful of maxed 4*.
I’m not riding any leaderboards on as many fronts as I can- for my 2 main accounts, I do war casually on 1 (Silver 2 by the way) and no war at all on the other. On the 2 minis, I don’t do any war at all (but that alliance finished Silver 3).
All of your arguments to this point are that it is unfair for a small (15m or lower) alliance to be matched with a large (25m and up) alliance. You haven’t taken anything into account other than the numbers and you’ve used that to say the system is broken.
All I have tried to do is highlight that you need to look past the numbers.
@Lormif has stated multiple times, just because the opposition alliance is bigger than yours, it is not a guaranteed loss! Well except for the people whinging, like OP, in which case the war is over and they’ve lost before a single person has joined attack.
So again, what stops them, it is not "progression", because progression is cake and you can skip most of story content.
I mean it’s not like all anyone has to do is log on for 87 days and they’ll have a 5* whether they’ve completed act 1 or not.
I’ve seen a level 42 Cav with a hero rating under 300k. Not a mini. Not a returning player. Just someone that honed his skills.
i/ before the change in match making using a single war rating criteria, "smaller" alliance (whatever that means), earned they way up fighting "similar" size alliances.
However, this "smaller" alliance because of the match making criteria (before the current one), was not matched against "stronger" alliances.
"Stronger" alliances cannot progress up because they are matched against "similar" size alliances which leads to point ii/.
ii/ The change in match making criteria shifted the "rules" of match making and the consequence is this "smaller" alliance now "consistently" gets matched against "stronger" alliances and keeps losing or rather lose before even making the first move and there is no end in sight for these "mis-matches".
This is very discouraging to this "smaller" alliance who had earned their way up through the previous match-making rules.
So, he is against this single war rating match making criteria because it was change from the previous method.
I don't know whether he has anything to say if from day 1 of Seasons, the match-making criteria was just using war rating. Maybe a lot still, I have no idea.
