How is this still happening? Kabam you need to take steps to ensure these mismatch’s can’t happen. It’s pretty obvious how this alliance gets top spots ever AW season with matchups like this.

    This has been brought up many times in the past, top allies had a group chat and would take turns looking for match as soon as the ally above them matched to avoid each other. Kabam was made aware and 5 seasons later still doesn't do anything about it. I'm sure we will get the basic we are still looking into improving matchmaking.

    They could make if simple even # of alliances in each tier and if you are in masters you match with a masters, plat1, plat2, plat3 etc. Oh well nothing will change though.

    In MCOC land that's how you finish #1 in AW Seasons when you don't get docked for TOS violations

    This has been going on for years, the difference before AW Seasons started being top alliances ran 2 BG AWs to inflate their war rating. It sucks this manipulation tactic has continued to reward alliances who've been penalized numerous times for TOS violations.

    Is Kabam still letting off-season wars affect your War Rating ? How many more seasons must go by before they lock in your War Rating during the off-season (to avoid the rampant tanking).
    On a different note, brand new alliances hopefully are being increased more rapidly (based on their overall alliance rating or prestige), so they're not forced to battle too many times against totally mismatched Bronze or low Silver opponents if they are 10m or 15m new alliances (which is totally unfair to those low level 2m ally's forced into a match because they happen to have similar (albiet misleading) War Ratings.

    funny thing is NY is probably more upset about it then the alliance that's getting the free win lol

    War Matching should also be changed to match up whole groups of wars in bunches of 1 or 2 hours at a time (not exactly when an ally says "match"). Then there wouldn't be loose straglers once all other nearby alliances are matched that are put into a bad mismatch. In 1 hour bunches Kabam can arrange a whole lot of matches all at once in a more fair manner based on Rating (and also apply some logic so you don't face the same opponent more than once a season (or twice maybe at the extreme top end ?)
    Only stragler alliances forced into bad mistmatches then might be from those who wait too many hours before they choose match.
    Actual War Attack time could either be backtracked or forwarded (?) to that 1 or 2 hour boundary (so what if you might only have 23 hours to place your defense.

    Dont know why they cant take an alliance take all 30 members top 15 champs and average it all out and match teams based on their rosters. Let the top teams try to out tank each other in off season and stop putting people in lower alliances against a demoted mmxii alliance to be murdered.
