“Best defence” node is?
Been added to node 43 and I’m not familiar.
Rosters will not how until things change.
This season will probably have some rating corrections going on due to all crappy prestige weighting last season. This is good for should clean it up before next season when rewards get revamped. I just hope Kabam plans to continue to leave war rating as the by far key factor for match making
My only guess is Kabam last season did prestige due to issues with MNG having two Bye wars. While prestige probably fixed that caused all sorts of other problems. As I suggested before, for matchmaking just start with the top war rating alliance queue, use an algorithm that randomly selects say one alliance within the next 20-25 highest rated - remove both off list, move to next highest and repeat. This will force similar war rated alliances to face off but still allow a little RNG with who you face. You can split entire pool into like groups of 500 based on war rating and just run the algorithm down each set simultaneously
With this logic if total alliances in the entire pool is odd, lowest rated gets a bye. You can write something that assigns bye to lowest rated as long they haven’t had bye in last X war, if they did check next lowest rated.
Actually some top alliances use the inter season top lower their war rating just to be sure to have low level alliance to fight during the war season and thus easily gains wars and point during the 3-4 first wars.
The drawback is that honest low level alliances find themselves unable to win or even grab points during war season as they can sometimes not even reach the bosses.
separating "war rating" and "season war rating" would resolve the problem as top alliance will no more be able to voluntarily decrease their rating and it will be in every alliance best interest to do the max to win during the season or between seasons.
@Kabam Miike @Kabam Zibiit @Kabam Vydious @Kabam Lyra @Kabam Porthos would that be possible ?
Throwing prestige into the mix was just a confusion. It was never acknowledged by Kabam to the best of my knowledge, but pretty much the entire end game community was aware that the matchmaking algorithm was changed.
2+ weeks on the new map and deaths are way higher than before. There was obviously an increase in the difficulty. If it was not intended, it just shows how out of touch with the state of the game these content designers are.
Can't even imagine once we bring in the global defence buffs next season how war is going to look like.... All I can say is that the rewards will have to be HUGELY buffed, probably 3x what they currently are now, plus some T5CC, otherwise there will still not be any incentive to push hard in wars. Part of me is wishing that the revamped rewards are still lackluster.
And you're missing the point that in a points system, that is TOTALLY acceptable and a valid thing to happen. What you described as being the issue is basically advocating for a place system rather than points. Where, EVERYONE starts the same, EVERYONE ends up fighting weaker/stronger alliances depending on placing, and there is ZERO hope for weaker alliances to ever beat out the top guys who just open their wallets for a win.
