All 3 off season AW with blanked defense ...

I know that some alliances want to drop down their war rating, but it's the third time in a row we face an ally with no defenders.

Is it usual?

    Completely normal. Standard offseason behavior under the current AW setup. Working as intended.

    It's stupid because if everybody do the same, they will face each other when the season starts ...

    Idk. Talk to kabam. They’re the ones who allow this to continue.

    It's only normal when there is a 1 week offseason. You can't drop that much in 3 wars so losing them all helps you tank. With a 6 war offseason, losing them all will drop you out of your tier so you have to try to win a few of them to stay in the higher multiplier.

    1 week offseason is just the gift that keeps on giving. Thanks Kabam.

    3 free wins sounds dope

    Until you start the season well above your skill level and match higher level opponents, sinking your season.

    We won the three offseason wars last time, lost the first 5 season wars and barely got back to where we started in the last week of the season. Def not worth the free shards.

    It's all so hectic! Grab a coffee, watch a movie, meet a friend while you can. Off season is only a week long!

    We faced one of those alliances too. That's quite a contest

    Well, let's see which alliances we have to face when the season starts, but a loss in T3 means more points than a win in T4.

    In any case, kabam shoud scout this

    Nope

    195,000 x 4.5 = 877,500 around a T4 win

    145,000 x 5.5 = 797,500 around a T3 loss

    Another way of saying this is that the 1 week offseason guarantees alliances will tank because they’re burned out and fed up and have no desire to do even casual wars during that week.

    Eliminating the offseason has created new tanking alliances that normally wouldn’t tank. They could just skip matchmaking but why would they when they still get rewards for losing and doing nothing and get a mental break from war on top of that.

    Kabam has truly created the pinnacle of competition.
