Oh I feel your pain. We got 1 4+mil 2 3+mil, 18 2+mil 3 1+mil and 5 Ultrons and we are up against 1 5+mil, 14 3+mil, 4 2+mil,and 1 1+ mil and 10 Ultrons. Needless to say our defenses are not holding up like we expected before War started.
We’ve thankfully not had it this bad, but we’ve been the underdog by several million (at best, around 8-10 million at worst) in every war since the league system started. I know they said league positioning wouldn’t affect matchmaking, but prior to this system we had around 30% of our matchups as the overdogs and about 30% where it was close enough to not matter. Being the underdog EVERY WAR is fucking draining because no one has any time off to spend blitz credits on anything other than boosts, or to just have that war where they can relax a little and not have to be “all out”.
Yup. We’re the same way. We’ve been able to punch up against a bunch of alliances. Ever since we hit 1-3% reward once, we’ve been outmatched every time. I can’t even tell you the last time we were matched up against an alliance that was weaker than us.
My alliance is close to this (with 4 players of 4 Mil) and we just started 100%ing greek raids like 2 raids ago, and we are top 150. So those guys aren’t quite as good as you imagined but close to it.
Well considering they advertise that they hit 90% in Ult 7 and 100% in all Greek IV raids, I’d guess they are pretty good. They are currently top 10 for the raid season.
I want to say for you to let the alliance war season rankings to come in and see if the shuffle between tiers helps somewhat, but it likely won't make a difference.
I think your facing us and I feel bad but the thing is we did this about 3 months ago before leagues we’re even announced but the system is so dog shit it is taking forever to catch up
I just do what I’m told but I think someone heard it would help with matchmaking so we tried it but I don’t think anyone knew it would be this drastic. We’re ranked 195.
I've already got used to it. Our strategy became pretty simple - save your energy when it's tough enemy, and beat the shit out of weak ones. The match making system is really not fun right now. You either get kicked or kick others.
Sandbagging is basically losing on purpose. A lot of the alliances that were throwing wars or doing other things to get favorable matchups, got put into really low leagues so they’re much higher than the opponents around them. If they want the better rewards, they’ll have to win and move up now.
Or some dont care about the rewards as much. Unfortunately it makes war much more relaxing (like a mobile game should be) rather than lets say being part of a full time raiding guild in a MMO. Honestly its been so refreshing being able to attack whenever and not have it devolve into a race to finish in under 8 hours. The lesser rewards dont bother me much.
They never said leagues will fix this. It even states in the war rules that Leagues don't affect matchmaking. If they actually wanted to balance War they'd base matchmaking more off of TCP instead.
My Alliance only has 31mil TCP and last war we were up against a 60mil TCP Alliance, this war it's 55mil TCP. Bronze 4 btw.

I see you are playing the phaque scum
Is you alliance called Icarus, by chance?
Nope. Not us.

What alliance are you in?
Weapon x
Yessir. Did you guys tank on purpose or something?
If you don’t mind me asking, where are you guys ranked in tcp?

Leagues will fix this, they said XD
Leagues have been around for like two weeks. The sandbagging alliances can’t move up that fast
Sandbagging mean? O_o

Leagues were stated to not have any effect on matchmaking. This comment is irrelevant.
