War Match Aftermath

So, I've seen a number of Posts on the mismatches in War, and we officially just had our first one. Significantly higher. About 5 Mil higher. I do the best I can with my guys, but I can only work within the limits of what we have. Now, my issue isn't Wins and Losses. If my guys fight and lose, that is fair. Even if the Match was lost when we started. What concerns me is that the Alliance we are up agaisnt is over 3 years old. I can't speculate whether it's the result of being docked for cheating, or taking a dive for Seasons, or that they're just not that skilled (500k Rated mostly), or that they don't do Wars often (Silver, so clearly they do). I really don't know for certain why they're Matched with us. I am however, concerned because I see the problem others have been pointing out. There seems to be an imbalance within the system now, and I am curious of ideas on how to continue improving Wars in a way that doesn't blindside people. Of course, we're all adults. If we're outnumbered, so be it. It's just bothersome because something is out of whack. Ideas?

As for suggestions, as much as I'm not a fan of the Prestige Race, I think it might be useful to incorporate it into Matchmaking. Especially in light of such shifting War Ratings. Believe me, my views on Prestige are pretty visible. Lol. However, it's the only suggestion I can come up with that accommodates people selling Champs and War Rating being used as punishment.
- your opponent had a big change of personal lately. Former inmates had less rating and/or Skill an degenerated the war Rating. The new guys there are just pushing Rating up again and your ways crossed.
- your Opponent refuses to use potions on the new minibosses and or in general and therefore lost quite a few wars, which decreased war rating Significantly
- your opponents tanked the last wars to lower war Tier and to get the 50k win Bonus as soon as season 3 arrives.

There are many more options and combinations how that May occur and while I am never to late in criticising Kabam Im afraid there is no mode or algorithm in war matchmaking the communitiy will not get used to. And therefore every system will be stressed and used by clever players and alliances.
I can't think of anything that can help this other than time so that alliances get to where they are meant to be in rating unfortunately
I only mentioned the age incase the question of being a new Ally came up. That would explain a lower Rating.
Those are a couple things I thought of. Speculation of course. I can't be sure either way.
That could actually work. Not sure about the rewards part though haha
I just meant a way that scales the Rewards based on what you place. Placing lower Defenders would give less Rewards. Somewhat curve the urge for easy Wins. Not 2*s get 3*s perse.
