Are we back to normal AW already?

Ew.
Can we go back to the "Big Ben" AW please? That was actually fun and engaging.

I don’t know why anyone would want to do multiple fights when they could just do one.
So, even though we start out in OFF-Season for couple weeks, in which to get everyone to re-place back to 5 defenders, some alliance will be affected, and will ask for comp and WR adjustments in off-season.
—— Kidding aside, is this something that will likely occur even beyond just the some xx number of hours after wars end today, before the season “technically” ends, and the map can then be swapped over to the prior 50x maps again ?
Currently, PLACE DEFENDERS still shows the 10x, even though placing defenders now would be for the next (start of off-season, back to 50x wars).
I understand why it is CURRENTLY still the 10x. (*edit, well, at least that part did not continue to be true).
**But, when this past season started, people couldn’t even set 10x Defense during the normal 1-day off inbetween weeks time. Wasn’t until AFTER the first war STARTED that people were able to go in and actually set the new 10x map.
In that case (at least), the game randomly picked one of your old 5x defenders, and made them your new “single” defender. And even though Placements were not done, the game randomly puts them onto the map during matchmaking.
NOW (going back to 50x defenders), will people be left with just 1 out of 5 defenders setup ???
Or will the game go back to the 5 defenders we previously had been using (doesn’t help all the membership changes that some alliances may have had since then).
Or will there be a ton of EMPTY NODES for the first 1 (or 2) wars this off-season ??
So what’s the node?
i'm curious to see what changes. if they decide the new map is necessary for the more casual players, will they have the resources to maintain two different maps? or will they alternate maps for everyone every so often?
and if there's two maps, won't that cause a big shock when players move up from the one fight map?
i might represent a small subsection of the playerbase but if they instituted the one fight map permanently in the future i would seriously consider retirement. war in its old form is the only thing that's ever mattered.
The fights were very binary, either the player could handle it was relative ease or it was a complete nightmare.
Was a terrible experience for a good chunk of alliance.
My alliance had been getting Masters for eight seasons in a row, with 6 of them being top 10.
We got Platinum 1 in this terrible format.
It doesn't require any kind of organization and the weakest players completely compromise the War.
It creates a horrible feeling of uneasiness for those who are competing. One person alone is capable of completely ruining a war. The atmosphere within the alliance is terrible.
This was by far the worst thing they've done to Alliance War. Maybe for everyone who doesn't play Masters, it's a more democratic format, for those who didn't have time or were engaged with the old format, it must have been good.
The only reason I play this game is for Alliance War, I like to plan, compete with the best, record my fights and post.
99% of my roster became absolutely useless, since all I needed was one defender and two or three attackers.
If this comes back as another game mode, I'll play it again without a problem, but it can never replace the old Alliance War.
the old map had a lot more variation. the issues you mention like item use can be fixed. also keep in mind that kabam will try and get back all the items that are being saved by players, so they'll make it a lot harder and that's a lot of stress for just 1 fight.
