    i wonder what the issue was there. was it the game being bugged out, lots of alliances not doing wars for some reason?, or is there really a justifiable reason things are this bad?

    That's really unfair matchup. My condolences. But if you win, that will be awesome . Still you will learn something from it. Still unfair match up. Rooting for you

    even the +/- for winning/losing illustrates that the algorithm knows this is wrong.

    I'm curious to see the equivalent screenshot from someone in that alliance are they getting "screwed" out of not having maximum point potential, or are they getting an "easier" matchup (no disrespect, just going off the #s / whole point of this thread).

    Tbf they are #2 on leaderboards atm. Wiped out defense with just dying twice. If anything it screws over GT40 cause I doubt they got an easy matchup like that. And no we didn’t win lol, wasn’t even close 🤣🤣 @Kabam Miike tagging you just to maybe look into this so it possibly doesn’t happen anymore 😅

    I have no idea how the shell game works in alliance war, but must conclude that it does work.

    It actually failed miserably if they got the lower map and hence a lower multiplier which is what happened from what I understand.

    It looks like they jumped to the #2 spot, somehow.

    unfortunately the matchmaking is **** up, in the previous war there were alliances that won and lost double AW rating, this time there were these meaningless matchups. it has nothing to do with Shell, and in terms of the multiplication of points it corresponds to the tier in which each alliance is located, there is no difference

    False actually. XK9 got tier 1 points, just a really bs match. This is another example, in which GD got t1 points while we got t2

    Definitely not how it used to work. My current alliance missed on master twice bc of matching a lower tier map and getting the lower multiplier

    Agreed. This feels like a change to accommodate matching challenges at the top.

    Sadly XK9 are shelling every season, this is a coward move, and results in **** like this happening.

    First of all XK9 only shells for two seasons, not every season as you mentioned there. according to what happened, it has nothing to do with the shell, but with matchmaking, which has already been broken for two wars, with differences between winning and losing twice the AW rating as an out-of-frame match as you well know. and what happened today even worse. It wasn't just XK9 that had a match like this, there were more tier1 alliances that had it, there were tier3 alliances that got it from tier6. As I said it has nothing to do with shell. last season with shell we caught a lot of master and top3 alliances.

    I guarantee if XK9 didn’t shell they wouldn’t have matched that ally, so yes it does have to do with shelling 😂

    I think it has to do with getting meat out of a crab
    Using heavy artillery to do so, yes.
