GA Algorithm - Worse Than Before??
So I was excited that the GA matchup algorithm was going to be improved. I was also excited for GAC to start (correctly this time). The I go into my first round matchup... The person I am against...

Apparently so are the several hundred people flooding the forums and Reddit with similar matchup concerns.
In the first (failed) launch of GAC, there was a guy in our bracket who had a 6* Traya, no Malak and no DR. Many of the rest of us had 2 (2 had all 3) maxed. And the differences in mods, g12, zetas, etc. were all way off compared to previous iterations of GA. I'm not "playing the victim". I legitimately think something is wrong with the matchup calculations.
The "new" algorithm has created far less even matchups within a given bracket than the previous one, as evidenced by the numerous screen shots (both in-game and from Discord) showing a much bigger discrepancy in matchups.
Is it, though?
A lot of the people who actually show the full Discord readout- which is not the majority of those complaining- have pretty fair matchups but large toon GP disparities that appear to be caused by fluff.
We had one thread a few minutes ago where the OP was courteous enough to include links to rosters. They were complaining about a 400k difference in character GP, but I scroll down to the bottom of their opponent's roster and I'm seeing things like a 4* G8 level 85 Sith Marauder. The opponent had WAY more fluff.
These complaints are flooding, but are they really valid?
