Better for some, worse for others. It doesn't really matter how they adjust matchmaking, that statement will always be true. Whether it's objectively more "fair"/"even" is open for debate.
Both methods have their (dis)advantages. Whether you like the new or old method probably depends on your roster. The new method definately helps out players with a lot of fluff.
On a side note, i do wonder how it works for players who drop 1 or 2 divisions. Why am i matched based on my top80 and not on my top60 for example? Do players only drop division and get less defslots when their topX doesn't have enough GP to find a suitable match? Seeying as there are quite a few players dropping a division that doesn't seem to be the right explanation. I can't figure it out, but it's probably flawed ;)
- Previous matchmaking: accumulative GP of all characters
- Current matchmaking: accumulative of highest GP characters. Number of characters dependent on the amount of def slots. (defslots * 2 * 5 = amount of characters used for matchmaking)
