CGs algorithm fails again

So even if you subtracted 13 from all their numbers, including ships, they still have a massive advantage. Also our highest zeta player has 292 zetas, then it's me at 282 and then 274. It takes to their 8th highest in guild for our highest to match zetas and omicrons. Anything else you want to know....idk how to tell who from their guild joined but it's safe to say the numbers all support me.
Also this is both guilds at max power. I can safely say, from our numbers, you can reduce 6 like I did with their 13.

Even if they were missing their best, and you your worst, they do have an advantage. Not necessarily insurmountable, but a tough fight.

Not sure of your win-loss record, but that can be a factor if you have a string of wins and the algorithm wants to break it for you. Most guilds should average around a 50% win-loss over time anyway, so a single match-up shouldn’t be used to assess overall performance of the match maker.

The other side that’s always missing in these “matchmaker is unfair” threads is the examples where it was stacked in their own favour. Have you got any of these that offset the hard ones?

One more before I walk away from this one, the matchmaker is hardly the biggest issue that I think CG should focus on - from my perspective, the bugs in updates are far more frustrating than a match up that comes and goes.

Too many numbers

So the difference in active GP is less than 10%. Seems like a good enough matchup to me, and certainly a lot closer than some of the ones which we’ve won recently.

The gift algorithm definitely works. Our opponents just lost 2 matches and we were selected to go up against them. Our 281M active GP was matched up against their 358M active GP. They were way ahead in every comparable statistic. A miserable TW experience.

Feb 2: And based on our new opponent's statistics and TW record, it looks like we are a gift again. At least this should mean that we get a gift next TW.

That's an interesting thought. Here is our record...
