GAC matchmaking...again
I love GAC. I like good competition. I accept that I will be outplayed and will lose at times, this is ok, I am a good sport and gracious loser. Yet, it is a wonder to me that I keep getti...
Forum Discussion
Thank you both for pointing out what I have already stated as a mistake on my part. Yes, roster development is an issue, a disadvantage in my case, otherwise I would have no point in this discussion. Yes, I only afforded one round of shard farming on Carth most days. Yes bad luck played a big part. Double drops of zero is still zero, and the times I did refresh I still averaged 1 a day. I admit that this mistake has cost me a great deal in potential shards earned, and in resource/ time spent I own that mistake.
Now that I have clearly agreed with you, can we get to the question at hand. Am I the only person that has high gp, but not the meta characters? Am I rare like the unicorn? Of course people with lower gp's will find it potentially unfair to have to face someone so far above them at first glance. My non-meta teams do not = meta teams though. What am I supposed to do when matched with teams I cannot beat? Lose right? So as I stated in the original question, why is matchmaking putting me against players that outmatch me even at 200K+ gp less than me. I can not take my gp away, other than pulling mods for a little drop. The gear and stars are already played. I have done this for the wrong reasons clearly. Am I the only person with toons that should not have been developed?
I finally beat my first JKR team this last GAC. (Before you point out how sad I am , or how easy it was for you, I followed all of the popular theory crafting I can find on YT, discord, and talked to my guild.) It took me six teams to wear through it. I lost on efficiency, which yes my roster, squad development, and rng earned my opponent the win. (I graciously accept the loss.)
My concern is that I am matched in such a way that I do not have a chance of winning. Is this balanced? I am working diligently on counters so that I have some chance, but as stated my resources only get me so far. I still farm for carth shards daily, but one a day takes a while to get to the next star level. I will be ready the next time DR comes around, hopefully, but now I will be behind the next meta, and the snowball grows.
I can not change the actions I have made, nor can I speed up my roster development. GAC is happening now and all I want is a fair match. I am not asking for free toons, or hoping to get an advantage over anyone. I don't mind losing a fair match. Please forgive me for being forward, but how is it constructive to point out my mistakes and tell me I deserve to lose. Is there no one else in all of GAC that is in this same predicament? Am I the last person in all of SWGOH that failed to get DR and Malak? If I am the only person dumb enough to play this way, then I accept defeat.
I mean no offense. If making a list of all that I did wrong so as to invalidate my concern makes you feel better, then please let it all out. This all still fails to answer my question. Although I did not ask for someone else to tell me how I have earned the frustration I experience daily in a game I have loved for years, you are free to say your piece. What would you do if you were in my place? Not make these mistakes surely, but what if you had? Would you just lose? Would you not question it?
Thanks for your time and answers, I much rather this form of discussion than my concerns falling on deaf ears.
