Apparently they developed strong enough teams and tactics to gain top ranks. And you call their rosters useless?
The leader boards rank players by GAC score - not by roster strength. It's all it is. I wouldn't worry too much about how strong (or weak) the top ranking players' rosters are.
The point is that if they were going against the other good teams in the division they wouldn't win a match.
The point is that they were matched against players with similar matchmaking GP and won.
Exactly - they matched the teams that can't put together a decent team of 5 against other teams that can't put together a decent team of 5. They have the GP, so if they didn't use their resources well then they should have to deal with it.
They matched them to others that have a similar top 80 go (or top 60 or 40 or whatever for lower division). Ability to put teams together isn't taken into account fo rrc matchmaking.
Either way, that is my point. It should be random throughout the division.
No thanx - for very obvious reasons:
1. This would result in far more uneven matches.
2. It would give players incentive to leave every unused character at lvl 1, g1 and put players who didn't at a significant disadvantage.

Or at least some sort of weighted distribution so that the weaker players (aka "similar") only play other weaker players.
Did you check the title of your discussion? Or did you change your mind about it?
I didn't change my mind, I left out a word. *so that the weaker players 'don't' ONLY play other....
That little negation makes a significant difference. I can only comment on what you post - not on what you meant to post.
But ok:
As it is now weaker players DON'T only play other weak players. They play other players with matching division, league and matchmaking GP - disregarding whether they built a strong roster or a weak one. Some of them may have strong rosters - others may have weak ones.

weighted - so maybe they have more matches against the other less powerful squads, but they can't duck the powerful squads completely. Or maybe after these players are 9-0 or 8-1 after the 1st 3 rounds it triggers something to bump them up?
Isn't this what leagues are supposed to do? F.ex. if you end up in chromium league after the first GA in the second GA you will only be matched with other players who went 3-0 in their first GA. If you end up in bronzium after the first GA you can be matched with players who went 3-0 in the first GA as well as players who went 0-3.
The effect of leagues grows as you progress through the championship.
I didn't mean bumped up to play other teams that went 3-0 against other teams that also went 3-0 against teams with less geared characters. I meant maybe they should get bumped up to play the teams with more developed characters. If these players are skilled, then maybe they could use their skill to beat these teams with more developed characters with their expanded rosters. I'm guessing they wouldn't, which would have the effect of knocking them down the leader boards.
