Look, CG, I get it. You're apart of EA and only care about money, but you're going to slowly kill your game if you don't fix GAC matchmaking. A lot of people i know, and I read this sentiment on reddit and here, feel the same way: if you don't have GL's you shouldn't be going up again people that have 2 GL's. What fun is it to not even be able to play the game because your opponent just sets them on D and checkmates you instantly? I know you guys won't fix it because business practices states that if you put things obtainable by paying, your customer is more likely to. But here's the problem, when it's a free game, most people just end up leaving after a time. Fix your matchmaking and stop being greedy. Prove you're not EA and just a subsidiary of them.

It's a Championship. If you built your roster strong with many of the latest META toons/teams why shouldn't you benefit? Why should you have stronger opponents? Why should players with weaker rosters have an easier path to Kyber league?

But, nah, you're right. Just relic every character, yeah? Who cares if they're worthless.If they were worthless, they wouldn't be preventing you from "having fun" in GAC.

When a new meta is released, every player has 3 choices:1. Get the new meta2. Get one of the counters to the new meta3. complain about matchmaking as if it has anything to do with why they are losing

GAC Matchmaking badly needed, but will never get

...

What I believe they mean, is if you have built your roster up to the point that your matchmaking GP (top 80) matches that of someone with both GLs, and you are not in a position to counter them, then you may have made bad choices in your development.

If GAC is about fun and not a competition (championship) why would you care, if you don't win? Use your favorite teams/factions/characters and have fun. Ignore your scores and rank. Have fun. And if you don't like GAC just skip it altogether. Stick to the game modes you think are fun.

well you have a lot of high relic chars but looks like not the reqs for slkr/rey, 11 r7, 5 r6 and a numch of r5 and below.

https://swgoh.gg/p/798333642/ opponent has jml and rey, and jkl, 11 r7, some r6, and multiple lower relics too.

tbh it looks like you just ran into an insanely focused roster. normally it's clear to see why one is bad choices, but here, while you took too many to r7 and have some questionable choices for other high relics, you should normally probably be matched with one gl, and just got real unlucky. imo

If my collegiate basketball team was pitted against some third grade team all because we were in the same gym and it was unlucky, neither side would have fun and would obviously not be a good match.

The point is it shouldn't come down to luck. It should be more thought out to provide the best player experience for both sides. IMO, this shouldn't happen and the GL's need to be weighted differently in their matchmaking algorithm.

that's not a correct analogy. The point is you relic'd up a bunch of toons but not enough to get a GL, that matches you with people who relic'd up chars and did get a GL. Matchmaking doesn't happen to you, you happen to it
