  • Bro...stone alliances don't typically even have five stars...unless you're taking rarity out of the equation, in which case I apologize for misunderstanding what you meant!
  • You have literally put into words what I failed to in making this post. This is exactly what I was trying to say. Thank you so much for this!
  • Remember, we aren't here to argue! We are just here to discuss potential improvements to the matchmaking system. There aren't sides to take. Feel free to say what you think is wrong, but make sure you aren't tearing someone else down while you're doing it!
  • Then put a cooldown on joining war. Maybe if you create an alliance for war and disband it, then recreate it, you can't join war again that season? That would prevent alliances making an alliance and then joining war last minute to get top tier rewards.
  • So put a cooldown on how often you can form an alliance... isn't there one in the game already? Or you could drastically extend the cooldown for joining war when you create an alliance, at least.
  • Like a tryout bracket...not a bad idea!
  • Hmmm....these are legitimate concerns. And of course it would be frustrating to be kicked down to a lower tier when a new alliance gets in for free. So we would need a way to prevent that.... I'll have to think about that.
  • We can ALL agree on that. So the issue on the table now is figuring out a way to fix that. Ya Boi's suggestion actually has some merit in my opinion, @Lormif what do you think?
  • Okay, so anything is possible, even if it's the tiniest chance ever. I think we need to replace the word possible here with probable. It's not impossible for a 15 mil alliance to beat a 25 mil alliance, but it IS improbable.
  • Oh God that's right, he's an actual champion now
  • Imagine loading up your BG for offense and it being a sea of Korgs lol
  • Both of these are definitely options...but you're right on both accounts of it being unfair. But yeah, imagine if Kabam actually did that and opened up war to having every champion available...I guess that really would prove if skill was the real thing haha! I suppose they would need to maybe limit it to having only one of…
  • Let's turn this back around to potentially improving war matchmaking. Does anyone have any solid ideas?
  • Okay, very very VERY technically speaking, you always have a chance, regardless of how small it is. So while it's an exaggeration to say there are impossible matchups, it's still fair to say that there are ridiculously hard matchups that you have almost no chance of winning, right??
  • You mean why would someone take an off season? Sometimes people have stuff going on outside the game, so they take a break from war. A lot of the time, people get stressed from constantly having to be on top of the game while dealing with a job or school. And they decide to prioritize their life over the game? Crazy,…
  • I've been in silver 2-1 and I've had several...I think part of it has to do with bigger alliances having an off season, and then losing rating. Then they come back in and they've moved down the ranks, so they get mismatched with much smaller allys than they should be. But if you consistently do war and make it up to higher…
  • Come on mate, we just got everything settled and we're trying to have an actual discussion now!
  • Alright, so we all agree that alliance rating shouldn't be the sole factor in matchmaking. Do we agree that there should be multiple factors in war matchmaking, not just war rating?
  • Didn't you just say to focus on constructive stuff? Why are you trying to individually attack someone now?
  • Yeah actually, I do. I also think it should be taken into consideration, but it shouldn't be solely dependent on it. War rating is also necessary, but it falls short. If we find a way to use war rating AND alliance rating, that might be a step closer to better matchmaking.
  • Great, so if everyone knows that this matchmaking system has flaws, why is no one trying to fix it? And why are YOU arguing that the new matchmaking is good?
  • Most matches should be over in a minute IF PLAYED PERFECTLY...again with your assumption that everyone has the ability play perfect and so it's okay for 10 mil Alliances to get matched against 20 mil Alliances. No one is perfect, and no one should have to be held to those standards of yours constantly. You keep saying how…
  • Logical my a**, man. This guy is nothing but someone who knows how to use big words and likes to feel smart. He only ever makes the same argument, he just words it differently. It always boils down to "You're not good enough at the skill based game". That's not a good argument, because his standards for skill are…
  • Listen to this guy talking like he's Ben Shapiro lol "It is simply illogical to not beat a 6 star R3 with a R4 5 star. Get owned, libs."
  • Are you REALLY going to deny that almost everyone in Platinum/Master Alliances regularly spend money on this game? You can't be serious. How do you think their accounts got that big? In any case, I never said I have more skill than anyone. You can look for a quote on that. And I'm not going to bother doing challenges…
  • Whew. Okay, so your argument is still just telling people to get better at the game rather than focusing on anything constructive. You aren't being helpful, you're not even defending the current system. All YOU'RE doing is saying that people who are complaining about the game just aren't good enough to have real opinions…
  • Nah mate, you're pretending that alliance rating has nothing to do with the outcomes of wars, when in reality it's everything. Alliance rating has to do with your champions and what you've pulled, right? So clearly the higher your rating, the better your champs. If you have 10 million less rating than another alliance,…
  • Do you have Red Vines? I like Red Vines!
  • Misguided? So getting matched up against an alliance with 10 million more rating that yours because of war rating is fair and balanced? Clearly something is wrong if you don't have even a chance to win the war...you all keep talking about skill and how you don't belong in this tier or that tier if you can't win, but it's…
  • Ah yes, clearly your opinion is better. Because you're such a 'high skill player'. Get real. Bragging about how you could steamroll 4 star champions is hardly worth bragging about. If you could do that, that's also an issue. Carrying an alliance to platinum or masters because of one person? Do you realize how ridiculous…
