  Same happened to us. We were trying to matchmake for the last hour and a half and got nothing. @Kabam Miike, what's going on here?

  Happened to us as well. We usually start matchmaking at around 9pm EST and on Friday it took over 40min to find us a match. This left us yesterday with only 10 minutes to find one. Surprisingly, we didn't match.

  Would you rather have gotten a matchup with an alliance on a completely different level that will be a loss even before you fight?

  I think I’d prefer your scenario

  I think i would, considering we could've at least earn some points for the season. No matchup means no points at all

  That almost happened to us...the stress sucked. I am sorry that it did not click for you.
  
  Yeah, a loss with points is better than no match at all. You slide more in the rankings.

  This is true. A loss where the boss goes down yields a fair number of points. Missing a match altogether is nearly the same as losing 3 straight wars in the grand scheme of things.
  
  @Husky54 @Bwest289 By chance did you guys look for 3 BG wars?

  Yes, we only run 3bg wars.

  Figured I'd ask. There's a long-standing issue with the algorithm not finding matches for 1-2 BG wars that has gone largely un-addressed. I've not heard about this for 3 BG wars. I hope they resolve your issue soon. Good Luck!
