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...

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.
Yes,they do, and not one.
Two questions:
1. How do you know (and I do mean know) other guilds sandbag?
2. What do you mean by “not one”?
2 of those guilds, i know from checking their tw history (my guild had a war against one of them, we got destroyed)
Third guild i know couse my friend told me who plays in this guild.
I can give you names of those guilds, but prefer not to, couse it is not about who.
How does someone’s TW record show that they’re sandbagging? Sometimes guilds have different members taking part for different wars because of… real life commitments. Not every member of a guild can do every TW.
If someone in a guild has told you they sandbag them that’s fair enough, but it’s still dumb of their TW officer to institute that as the overall net effect on their guild is negative. That’s bad officering (if that’s a verb).
