GAC and GL's

So if only a GL can beat a GL, wouldn't it have been wise to make the GAC match making take into account of the number of GL's people have? and pair them off equally?

    A roster bloating or not does not matter.

    GLs are unbeatable basically in 3v3 especially for non GLs - no matter if you throw 10+ teams on them nothing will happen vs most of them.
    The MM algorithm should be hardcoded GL vs GL and not allow some "tuned"roster without high clones/padme to simply autowin GAC. Because that is all what is happening.
    The MM for GAC + TW is really bad - point. Be it sandbagging at finest which ends up in 200 GLs vs 50 GLs (seen this), or be it 4-5 GLs vs 2-3 GLs its in the end just very bad matchmaking.
    In race car championship no one drives F1 vs GT class, but this exact thing is happening here. And people defend it only because they get full free wins - nothing else.


    So you are proposing that matchmaking only looks at whether both teams have Padmé and Clones? Because for non-GL users the ones with Padmé and Clones has a clear advantage?

    No the MM algorithm for GAC simply takes xx number of top chars and takes the median GP score and than looks for opponents.
    However certain characters are way better for similar GP than others - which is the issue.
    Most GL in certain setups are ONLY beatable by another GL. Means if you got high relic Padme/Clones/etc for TB you will simply auto loose. Making gearing somehow a fan favorite team kind of unattractive too - like Phoenix.
    The MM algorithm should be far more based on real strength, than some nonsense GP what doesnt have any kind of real roster strength. Just watch the roster of top1-3 in the divisions below Div1 and you will notice lots of G13 and only relic for characters they need for the GL. If you want just watch a few Kyber Champion rosters and you will understand it. Watch their opponents and you will notice they mostly had a HUGE advantage in troops and mostly the double of the opponent GLs. They win automatically.

    GLs should be treated separately to allow a somehow more senseful MM. The system now favours not to relic whenever possible.
