Ok. When is CG going to address the elephant in the room? Namely matchmaking based on GP?My first opponent this round in GAC has the same GP, but 25 G13 (many R5+).I have 10 G13 toons.So I will do what I did last round: set my lowest lvl 1 toons on defense and let the clock run out...Because I am not going to waste time on this if CG is unable or unwilling to come up with a better matchmaking logic. (Which actually would be quite simple)

It's not GP it's top GP.If they have more G13, they're top heavy and you have more depth.I have less G13 than most I am matched again and I win almost every round. Finished 28th Div 1 Kyber last GAC

This is 250% more than me!Top GP or total GP doesn’t matter because GP simply is a bad way to match.

You're missing an opportunity to practice your counter teams. Everybody wants a sandbox mode to practice, well, here's your sandbox. I don't understand setting weak teams and walking away. You're not going to learn anything. If you're resigned to losing anyway, why not at least see what your counter teams are capable of. And if you do walk away, at least spend that extra time farming and slicing mods.

Relic toons are weighted horribly in matchmaking.GP is a bad matchmaker regardless of how many toons it factors in, the system still needs to be worked on.

GAC matchmaking - supposed to be funny?

I know the counter teams that work. But I also know that e.g. I do not have anything that beats a R7 Malak. I don’t need a sandbox to try all the different ways to lose. Especially without any upside.

I have not heard one good reason for using GP as basis for matchmaking. It is possibly the worst and laziest way to do it.

Matches based on gear levels would be better.
Matches based on Arena ranks would be better.
Matches based on meta characters would be better.
Pretty much anything would be better than GP.

Because g12 Ugnaught is absolutely equal to g12 Malak! :D

Because #1 in a 2m GP arena shard is the perfect match for #1 in a 5m GP arena shard! :D

Current meta only? What about all the rest?
Include past metas? How many and which ones?
What do you do with all the players you can't find exact matches for?
What do you do when players come complaining that mirror matches are boring and it's unfair that their mirror opponent has better mods?
