The matchmaking in GA really needs improving if we are going to have closer and more interesting match-ups. Currently it’s usually the case that I can tell immediately whether or not I’m going to win or lose just by looking at rosters. Which isn’t fun. I’m not too fussed whether I win or not, but I’d like it to be a close fight.To show some evidence I’ve attached photos of my GA pool with the strongest roster and the weakest. The gap is MASSIVE.Edit: to make it clear neither roster is mine.

I have 1.5 mill gp and i have 5 solid teams 80k+ The search is perfect, i only ever match with playes at my gp and because i was smart, i now rule my GA every time. Suck it up. Focus on your teams rather than ranking up every character in your roster and learn to win.No it’s poor matchmaking plain and simple. To use a football (soccer if you’re a yank) analogy, your view would be like saying Manchester United vs my Sunday league team is an equal and fair match-up because we both have 11 players (or similar GP). The QUALITY of those players is a much bigger factor and GP doesn’t take that into account. This leads to boring one-sided matches. Nobody wants to watch my team thrash Manchester United 25 - 0 it’s dull ?

Analyzing your roster vs your opponents roster, trying to think of where he will place his team's, developing a solid defence while ensuring you have good offense to use etc.....I would disagree with you. If you look at the rosters in my original example it doesn’t really matter where you place teams or what you do. One roster is never going to beat the other.

I'd rather they leave the matchmaking as is. It's simple and transparent. We know how to prep for it and become stronger. I also like that it's at odds with TB. It forces choices. If you're on the wrong side of the GA matchmaking you have a clear path forward. Unlike TW where it's a crapshoot.

If you don’t like the GA then quit moaning and don’t join it. Its quite simple but i love it, i win every time because like your self, i fight against players who farm garbage, have 20 x more characters than me but i have 5 solid teams that’ll get me wins. Jokes on you, I gave you my help and my appologies, turns out you’re to dam arrogant to realise your own mistakes and to better your self. Where have I moaned about losing in this thread?I’m simply pointing out that under the current matchmaking process GA matches are predictable because similar GP can produce wildly different rosters. You can hold an opposing view without being rude.

The match making is fine, and thats what the deal is here. Losers will always complain about losing, i gave a wonderful example of a way to win but its arrogence, its match making fault obviously. No one coulda predicted the GA was going to be released and no coulda predicted more = bad or wrong farm = bad. I went on a hunch that more = good with the territories but i caught the rope and realised i needed teams not random characters. Maybe stop referring to everyone as losers or arrogant just because they don’t happen to agree with you point of view?

Also, it's not like the rewards are that much better for #1 than for #8. It's not really hampering your progress if you don't perform admirably in GA.

True. I think it refer to being heavily punished in terms of the loss of fun rather than the actual rewards if that makes sense.

When are you heavily punished though? I mean, how many of the matches are super one sided, and how many of those are actually a problem for the players involved?
Most of my tourneys have the same makeup of teams, 1/2/3 horrible rosters, 2/3/4/5 normal rosters, 1/2/3 potential winners. Seems to me that everyone has atleast one change to win, or at an evenly matched opponent. Isn't that good enough?

My challenge would be, why not make it so that everyone has a chance to win every match.

It may be good enough. Why not make it better?

i personally wouldn't like that at all to be honest. What's the point of working on my roster for GA if i'll have the same change of winning regardless?

I have to admit that I do agree with this. To get better at the GA game mode, which should mean you should get better rewards and have more fun, you will need to improve you roster. If this is not the case, what is the incentive to improve via planning or farming strategies?

Yep, the matchmaking sucks, and it doesn't matter whether you are on the winning or losing side, neither steamrolling your opponent nor getting steamrolled is fun. And fun should be the most important thing in a game.

i kinda like easy wins tbh.
For the final it's inevitable that i face the strongest opponent, but for the first two rounds i'm hoping for the weakest possible opponents.

Unless you already beat the strongest opponent on your way to the final. (I assume, that by 'the final' you mean the final battle for rank 1).
