With alliances still moving up/down tiers between seasons, it seems the only difference is we won’t be working towards rewards....
Can you please address this Kabam

Were you not able to move tiers before seasons was introduced?
I am not opposed to kabam taking a break and potentially updating AW seasons. My suggestion would be freezing season rankings from one season to the next.
In S2 you will start at 0 points earned. You will fight from scratch again to accumulate the most points. The only thing that matter in the down time is making sure you start with the highest possible multiplier.
Thank you for that piece of information. Starting at zero is better than the ranks being influx throughout the offseason. It would be nice to freeze the multipliers as well.
Each war, everyone aims for the “W”. However, with the introduction of seasons, people are more invested and use more resources than before. It would be mutually beneficial of allowing us, the players, the offseason to rebuild the inventory without having it impact the next season.
I appreciate all of your feedback. I’m not asking/demanding kabam give rewards for the break between seasons. Only suggesting a way to minimize the impact between seasons.
I think most will spend the off time rebuilding resources, but the gap between S2 and S3 will be shorter. Kabam doesn't want you to organically rebuild supplies. They do want your money though. Can't fault them for that they have mouths to feed too.
Why is “assume” in quotations? Did you not really assume?
Not sure how your question has any bearing on the overarching topic, but I’ll respond. The quotations were meant to highlight the word (assume); showing significance. It was my preconceived notion the people who had initially responded, did not fall into one of the mentioned tiers. It stressed that I was not stating a fact.
Really? Kabam seems to think only one alliance was effected by their faulty matchmaking system that they knew was faulty before the season started lol.
On matchmaking, yeah, it's terrible for everyone. My alliance had 4 wars in a row matching us with alliances around 14 to 15m. We lost those on attack bonus as we're about 3m lower than that and it pushed us from cusp of Platinum to into Gold 2 where we're finishing the season. Yay!
You are correct. The tier multipliers need to be tweaked for meaningful swings up and down when you win or lose
Since that run we’ve been breaking even or close to it on W/L. But so has everyone else, so that’s kept us in the top 20 or so of Gold 2. Maybe we belong in Gold 2 *shrug* but I bet if we’d had better matchups for those 4 wars we’d be in Gold 1. And the reward gap between the two is so massive, it’ll make it that much harder to get out.
What’s around 300-400? We move up about 10 spots for a win and down 15 for a loss so it would take some bad losses where you arnt clearing most of the map to make you drop that much that quickly.
As for why we moved so much, I think it is because it was earlier on, so the total points each alliance had was less. So as a %, 50K or so points would make a bigger difference than it does later on. For instance, as you say, we lost a war in the past week and only dropped about 10 spots.
But that's all besides the point, it is what it is. We did just beat a team of cheaters or whales (unclear which), so that was nice.
My initial point regarding matchmaking just being that the system is broken and, as most of us know, has been since the beginning. I think adding more subtiers (so having a Gold 1 - 10) with fewer alliances in each tier would be good. It will mean alliances in that 500+ range in each tier now would get lesser rewards, but if they scaled rewards better, could also mean those in the top of Gold 2 aren't feeling as jaded by it (or Gold 1 vs Plat). Since often the difference between such alliances is very minimal and can come down to matchmaking luck.
