GAC draw results unfair for lower GP
Defaulting the victory to the higher GP in the result of a draw is completely unfair. If anything, the fact that the lower GP can achieve the same score with less potential resources shows that t...

Except that there isn't necessarily a 50% chance of either happening.
Example: I roll a die and there are two outcomes. Either it lands on six or it doesn't land on six , but as you can appreciate the chance of it landing on a 6 is not 50%.
So, when i roll a die, it will either land on six or it wont and i agree, the chance of landing on 6 is not 50%.
Because there are other possibilities, they are 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
So, the chance of landing on six = 1/6
And the chance of not landing on six = 5/6
And the chance of winning the lottery is 1/(how many lotteries have been sold) (i guess).
It is not 50% (either i win or not) because there are other possibilities, they are lottery No 000,000,000,001 until idk, lottery number 100.000.000.000. Between these numbers, some 99,888,777,666 lottery are sold...so the chance of winning my 1 lottery is 1/99,888,777,666.
So, what are other possibilities that would be presented when i click that button other than "higher GP" and "same/lower GP"?
And what other possibilities would be presented other than "the higher GP attacks" and "he doesn't"?
Either way...the chance of lower GP will win against higher GP is above 50% is just counter logic.
When I face someone with lower GP than me, I assume they've got good mods, datacrons, and strategy. It's often a tougher matchup than someone with higher GP that's falling because of lack of interest or poor strategy.
That's why GP isn't the match making metric anymore. It's 'skill rating' which is based on participation and success/failure in this game mode.
Now that's not to say there are some outlier matchups that are extremely out of balance, but that's not the topic of this thread anyway. It's about how to manage ties. It's been states several times... We have a method of determining winners in the case of a tie. It's the person who has invested more in their roster. Seems logical to give them a tiny advantage for their efforts over time in the very rare case of a tie.
So much chatter about something that so rarely happens when there are legitimate issues the community could be discussing, it's just silly.
