GAC Matchmaking isn’t ready for Relic Delta

There are several points to unpack here.

I have already had horrible experiences with matchmaking

There is no match-making formula.  You play the nearest 8 players to you on Skill Points.

This isn't necessarily relevant.  There are players that have hit K1 with 2 GLs.  You can also counter GLs with non-GLs in most situations.  In fact, a lot of the time at the moment, I'm unsure what to do with some of my GLs.  They're not teams I use for counters and they're hard countered on defence.

Regarding GP the more you fall, the less of your GP you can use.  So, larger accounts can use less and less of their GP the more they fall.

However, activity is relevant.  If accounts (like you faced) are super active and you are also super active, then it's a fair match up.  If the larger account has fallen due to inactivity, then it's not an even match up; you're relying on them 'not turning up'.

So, activity is the issue with match-making.  Activity scores should be a second criteria to who you face.

To then add relic delta changes on top of already being severely outmatched

Well...............yes and no.  Skill Points are very fluid.  So, in one sense these larger accounts will be pushed back towards where they should be, right?  With Relic Deltas, larger accounts won't fall as far as they have (if they're active)............in theory.

Who will suffer (and this could be you) are the smaller accounts that punch up.  The players that have moved up significantly due to skill and creative countering.  Basically, those doing well, are going to be punished.

GAC’s matchmaking needs to be changed before the experience only becomes worse.

I don't agree.  Relic Deltas is an awful idea no matter what the match making.  Simply, with RDs you'll place will be adjusted.

I’m sure for my opponents it’s not fun either……

Most likely, GAC isn't fun for them.  That's why they can't be bothered and have fallen.

All GAC needs (apart from not needing RDs) is an Activity Score.  Then Skill Points will work perfectly...........in my opinion.

In short:

RDs maybe actually better for the OPs scenario (it will push larger accounts back to where they should be).

RDs are going to be a castrative for those that always punch up.  "Trying hard?  Well we'll fix that!"
