Fix broken TW matchmaking

Why hasn’t TW matchmaking been fixed like GAC? Between blatant sandbagging and the horrible MM algorithm, you are either given a guaranteed win or a guaranteed loss. It has caused way less interaction and even desire to focus on TW omis since CG has made it so that it literally doesn’t matter. Their algo decides if you win or lose, not your strategy or skill. Is it possible to incorporate the same or similar skill rating system as GAC? Seems like that would make it more fair. Don’t base it on total GP participating. This round we got placed against the #13 guild. Doesn’t seem fair at all. It’s not like we were on a winning streak. To the contrary. Likely we win one, lose two. We had about a 75% win rate before the algo was changed. It has forcibly pushed our win rate down to just about 50%.

In short, please change the TW MM system to a skill based one similar to GAC.

Does any guild actually, deliberately, sandbag others? It would just be dumb given the difference between rewards for 1st and 2nd, forcibly removing rewards for a portion of the guild you’d inevitably end up worse off even if you won all of those matches as opposed to losing all with a full guild.

It sounds more like your guild has simply hit its ceiling, and if you feel like you’re hitting guaranteed losses maybe you need to rethink your strategy.
