Again about the rivals (GA). Tired of it.
And again the old question. How are rivals selected? Is it really not understand that 100k of difference is a lot? See the difference in level 13 and modules. Why is the GP only t...

@Waqui it is a counter team, but it can’t counter a much stronger team. Can a gear 11 team “counter” a gear 13 team? No, it can’t. But that’s the point. Make matches against teams where they have an opponent that they can beat.
I’m not concerned about reaching any particular league. Myself and many others would just like to be involved in matches where we have the opportunity to win. It’s easy to preach when yourself and others all have the same store bought team that makes matches “easy” to win. The problem I see, is everyone should have a chance to win. Why should some team get byes almost? Why even include those teams? If it’s an automatic win why not just give them the win to begin with and not waste or time?
The original GAC format where they used the entire GP, before the matchmaking criteria was changed. That’s what I’m talking about there. Although I do win a lot in GA that’s just because I’m good at cherry picking and finding the right opponent lol
I wouldn’t mind having to work harder for wins. I believe the competition is fun. What I don’t find fun is knowing there is a zero chance to win. That makes the process boring and irritating because you know from the start I’m doing nothing with this.
You’re right someone has to win, someone has to lose. But there’s little strategy involved. If someone is facing a much weaker team then what strategy is there? My last opponent had 16 gear 13 to my 4. Is there much strategy involved when all he had to do was place his SE team?
I’ve never asked for easier matches. I’ve asked for winnable matches. To me there is difference. Like I said, it’s easy for those that have SE to say well
You should just get. Well duh lol everyone is trying for that. Had they reversed the events for Revan and Malak I would have that but they didn’t so it’s still a waiting game.
I’m not saying this just for myself I’m using my situation as an example. I already know the GAC is not a place I can have fun and enjoy. The never ending matches that I can’t win has done that. I enjoy my guild mates, I enjoy the other areas that I can participate.
GAC is designed to feed others, to make them feel good about themselves so they can act like they’ve done something in the game. But what have they really done? They beat under manned teams that they should beat. They beat teams that they had zero chance of losing to. Then they come on the forums and blast everyone for asking for winnable matches. I’m definitely not talking about you here. You’ve actually been a pleasure to speak with and I think we fairly close to believing the same things about the game. I just think they definitely should rate certain teams higher than others, because some toons matter a lot more than others, for GAC purposes anyway.
Anyway, there another round starting and I’m sure there will be 15 new posts about the matchmaking, because it is a problem whether people want to admit it or not. But I have a fairly improved counter squad not and I look forward to seeing if it can make a dent in one of these SE teams.
We’ll have to agree to disagree on this, I suppose, but I appreciate your points and they way you could converse without attacking or putting someone down. That’s missing from a lot of people in this forum.
I’ll leave you with this question, answer or don’t it’s all the same. You say that I ask for easier opponents and why should people have an easier path than other to the kyber league, but that’s exactly what is happening. Some people are getting a bye basically, not the bye they’re already lucky to have, but an additional one. They get a bye from getting to go against opponents that can’t beat them. Should some people have to really only have 1 real opponent?
Good luck
