GAC matchmaking - painful, but not broken
I’m struggling with the continuous negative comments about how the new matchmaking is creating broken match-ups. I think the biggest problem is with people’s understanding (or expectations) about...

I completely disagree. I used to win most of my matches (11-1 to 9-3) per season. I tuned my roster to be able to defeat meta teams; you say I need to adjust my expectations, and get used to going 6-6? No. No I will not get used to that, its not even remotely fun. You can't just say "oh you used to have to get used to your new place?"
I have always made Kyber; I'm still in Kyber 1 but not winning half as much as I used to. I am meeting players I have zero chance of defeating, not because I dont have skill, but just because I am out classed by a lot. In the old matchup (while it was not perfect); at least it was mostly fair, you may have someone with a lopsided roster but most of the time they had a hole or two in their roster you could exploit.
LOL this guy. 9M GP, all six GLs, Executor "outclassed by a lot". Me trying to figure out what a lot means after being out GL'd 6-4 in 2 out of 3 rounds last week in K1.
The game mode has changed. I think there are a lot of people that would argue that the prior mode was more "fair". This mode is more of a meritocracy based on execution. Last mode was based on roster building exploits (efficiencies, whatever you want to call it). You will hit a ceiling. It will be painful. You must build your roster faster to get to the next level. Full stop.
Don't get me wrong, hitting the ceiling is no fun, and it's expensive. It would be a lot less painful if the crystal rewards weren't so heavily favored towards the winner. But the attitude of "this stinks because I can't flex against people that weren't as judicious with roster construction"comes off as entitles and whiny. A real competitor would welcome the challenge to improve.
Yes, this guy. There is improvement, and there is no chance. The game mode has change and I do not have to like it. You look at my roster and are like 9m, all GL's Executor; and can't fathom being outclassed, rest assured it can an does happen fairly easily; especially with the release of all the new marquee's and the ability to buy Omi's. Now that crystal rewards are locked into it, it matters way more than it used to. That and I like winning, not going 6-6; especially when you were used to going 11-1 to 9-3.
