Fix your broken GAC matchmaking!!!

GAC matchmaking works the same way it has for over two years now. Fix your roster.

Why? No seriously, why? Why should people flourish in a PVP environment in a game where there is a clearly defined meta when they do not work towards that meta?

Why should people who are laser focused on achieving that meta being almost punished by ONLY going against people with the same focus?

Why should those who made bad or uninformed roster decisions be rewarded by ONLY going against those who made similarly bad choices?

This line of thinking makes no sense in a COMPETITIVE environment and only serves as an excuse, and a bad one at that.

It must be too hard for you to comprehend, but it is because CG changed the rules. Those people who went after the non-GL counters to GLs were NOT making a bad or uninformed roster decision at the time. There was no way to know that CG would nerf all those counters.

No I would argue that it was a bad decision to chase a counter as opposed to getting the OP unit itself. Why wouldn't you want to put yourself at an advantage? I repeat, this is a competitive game. Either move with the competition and strive to be on top in all game modes or fall behind. It's the exact same in any competitive environment.

If you built up a 7 or 8 million GP roster - which is what you'd have if you were drawing 5 or 6 GL opponents - without a single GL of your own then that is entirely your fault.

Though frankly I agree with DarjeloSalas that your claim is a steaming pile of pudu.

OMG you are making me a CG apologist here. They said up front it would be whonky initially, and resolve itself over time as people battle, win and lose. Your roster makeup and abilities will all lead to you gravitating to people who will be very comparable on the whole over time.

But that will take time to sort out.

Which they said.

Before the changes were even released.

That's not how GAC used to work. In the past the matchmaking was broken. You actual GP had NO relevance to who you got matched against. You can scream and yell all you want like a little ea sycophant, but you're wrong.

I don't know if it's been fixed yet. We'll see.

If you were running a multi-million GP roster without a single GL before this matchmaking change you would still have been screwed and it would still have been all your own fault.

And your claim is still a steaming pile of pudu.

So what you're saying is it's my own fault for not plowing money into this game to get a GL?
Or i could have spent 2 years just farming 1?

What I am saying is that it's your fault for not being competent or consistent enough to get a GL.

It does not take 2 years to farm a GL even as F2P. That is another steaming pile of pudu.

It does however take focus, regular participation and a little planning. Areas where you are apparently lacking.

If you can farm and gear millions of GP in non-GLs then you can farm and gear 300k of GL prerequisites. It's a choice, this game is full of them and you are responsible for yours.

GP isn't an accurate way of match making though. You have 2 guys at 3 million GP. One totally knows what they are doing and is very lean at 3 million. The other has no idea; no idea about mods, no idea about characters, no idea about how many teams they need, no idea about getting gear etc etc.

How much difference in GAC power could you possibly have at 3 million. 3 times as much?.... even more?

I think GLs are a big problem though. There shouldn't be such a massive step from the top legendary characters to the galactic legends. And with the more GLs added, the more it'll be a problem. At some point with GLs it'll become a paper,scissors,stone match like ships.

This is always the solution. Do not blame the matchmaking for YOUR own roster decisions. GP bands is honestly the fairest way to do it. If you don't want to be on the backfoot, improve your roster meaningfully.

I got hate messages because my opponent had 1 GL while I had 3.......his gp was higher than mine.

It's based on GP, which is how it should be.

I am 3.6m gp, non GL, got matched against players that have GLs 3 times. Only one of them placed his GL on defense. Either give us way to counter GLs with non-GL team, or fix your **** matchmaking. You made this game unenjoyable, and I hope the community stand up against this nonsense. Don't even wanna mention conquest. Does anyone know way to contact Capital Games?

You would think that it would only be logical for non-GL rosters to be matched against non-GL rosters after they took away non-GL counters to GLs.

It is very unlikely that they will change the matchmaking in GAC in any positive way from your viewpoint. Most of their actions have been pointed towards forcing people to get GLs one way or another.

The one positive thing they did do is make it easier to get some of the gear that you need in order to gear up the required characters that a GL needs. Previous to that they did increase the drop rate of shards of some of those characters. This way you will be able to get some of the GLs faster than those who were around when they were first introduced.

So, it seems that best thing you can do to improve your roster is to pick a GL you like and go full force into getting it. (Of course wrt the GAC matchmaking, as soon as you get one GL you will probably be matched against someone with 2 and so on.) Also, keep an eye on your GAC history and look at that of your opponents. Get some ideas from them about squads that are good blocks. Check the GAC meta page at https://swgoh.gg/gac/
Talk to people in your guild.

As far as communicating with Capital Games. The only thing that seems to get any attention is leaving a review for the app at the Google Play Store or the Apple equivalent.
