Another GA matchmaking post
I know this has already been pointed out, but I wanted to further demonstrate why the matchmaking for GA is skewed against ship builders. Below is a screenshot and some stats from my current match: ...

Your opponent cleared a zone that had far more teams than the zone you cleared. For that he was awarded more banners. That seems fair to me.
I literally could have done nothing more in this match than beat that last team and clear the territory. If I had done that, I would have won even without my points from the ship territory victory. What this indicates is that ship points are merely just a tie breaker for a close match. They might as well just remove the points from ship battles and award gold stars and rainbow stickers!
The reason I say this is unfair is that ship GP is weighted equally in matchmaking but ships points earned are not. In the battle I used as an example, we could have removed all points related to ships and nothing would have changed. But I’m matched at a 200k toon disadvantage for the territory that actually does matter. 200k is 2 quality arena teams which is essentially what I was missing to clear that last defensive team.
Yes, I could have used different or better strategies to win this close one, but the fact that I need a flawless strategy to win while my opponent can afford numerous mistakes demonstrates that the current matchmaking system is unfair.
I’m not complaining randomly here or even asking for compensation. The matchmaking system has a major imbalance when it comes to ship GP. I’m pointing out the problem using an example and offering a suggestion for a better system.
