Did the BG Matchmaking Get Changed? I've been having a lot fairer matchups these last two days.

So then why not let the heavyweight boxing champion compete with the lightweight right? Its the same rewards.
Heavyweights earn more.
Why should the matchmaking cater to any account type?
Baseball doesn't let the top A, AA and AAA team into the professional majors playoffs and compete for the world series title.
If you want matchups based on your roster, then kabam should create separate leagues with separate rewards. There is no reason a weak rosters should be allowed to get all victory track rewards and GC rewards without playing only "minor" leaguers to get an easy ticket to the "playoffs" while stronger rosters have such heavier competition they get lower rewards.
Either way, this conversation has been had a number of times now, so I'm not feeding redundancy. There is most definitely another side to this that isn't being acknowledged.
Second, do you think that stronger champs were handled to players for free?
They were earned through years of grinding or money spent.
What does entitles UC lower accounts to claim same rewards, and have the same chances to get VT tiers rewards, reach Gladiator Circuit and get ranked rewards?
Their skills to kill the 5.2 Collector?
Give me a break mate, Prestige matchmaking is a joke, and we didn’t need to confirm that once more.
It was confirmed at AW in the past.
People remember what happened back then in AW.
Same is happening now at BGs.
And it’s UNFAIR.
As for earning it, that's all ego-based. You don't earn Rewards in BGs because you've played for years, and done X and Y in other areas of the game. What's the sense in even having a competition if that's the case?
Scoring doesn't account for any of that. You get 3 Fights to have the best of 3, with the same metrics in a couple minutes. Not "I made it to Paragon, I did Abyss, I...." etc.
You win your Fights in BGs. That's how you earn Rewards. You don't win, you don't advance.
My personal take is that metrics like prestige or even deck rating is needed for Victory Track. But it’s anything goes once you hit Gladiator Circuit. It’s a participation trophy for anyone who runs VT but it’s every man for his own once they’re in GC.
Seen several threads of weaker accounts complain about matches they get in GC, my message to them is that there’s no free lunch. Git gud!
Game thinks he is a good match for me. 2.7mil rating account vs 6mil. And I was matched with him twice in 4 matches
Ofc this is a victory track.
If lower roster are playing only lower roster why I am playing with him. Ah ok I know. He has got similar prestige so it is fair….
I do believe the matchmaking is far worse for smaller accounts, this isn’t anything serious
That s the situation, even you like it or not.
ugh
I'm also in favour of in general trying to prevent the lopsided matchups. I like how Alliance War has tiers that award a different mulitplier towards the points that are earned. It's a good balance of being able to keep all the matches more even while also rewarding stronger accounts even if they end up losing a little bit more often since their competition is more difficult. It also doesn't inherently block out any account simply because it hasn't reach a progression title or is smaller. If they can win, they get better rewards.
That’s the real issue, that both of these accounts (your 2,7mil and the other guys 6mil account) will receive half rewards than accounts, that are in many occasions 10x smaller.
We saw that happened at AW (during Prestige matchmaking), we see it now too.
It was expected to happen.
If it’s intended to happen, Kabam should confirm that to us.
I dropped any effort at my main 3,7mil account, staying for first season outside GC, at only Platinum3 VT.
I’m not gonna try hard and lose my sanity, over something my alt Cavalier account achieved with minimal effort.
If Kabam continues this fiasco, in order to cater to small accounts, then I’ll personally focus on my free to play alt account, at least until other players “outprestige” my main.
I can’t see the point of grinding(or paying) on a big account, in order to make it bigger, if that sets me in disadvantage, instead of rewarding me.
No thanks, I’d rather have fun with my alt 😉
Just don't go above 5r5s on the account with 1 low prestige 6r3 and play just BGs and sit and destroy. WoW had this for years until they made people choose to either level or lock the account against others doing the same. Here there is no leveling like this.
With this matchmaking setup, these BG posts are going to be here every day.
