Hello,I know this topic has been created loads of times but i also wanted to show whats i m experiencing. Since the beginning of GA, i only lost 2 matchs. Now since this GAC, i already lost 2 rounds previous week. One vs a 5.3 and 1 vs a 5.5.-> im 4.8m.I dont face collectionner, i face people who are competitor and who are in top guilds (mighty wallet, starfoge jedha, wolfpack of bosskanda, etc ..)The problem with the new matchmaking calculation is it only takes in considerations top 80 gp toons. But it doesnt take care of numbers of g12, g13 and mods. Matchup i have arent fair at all. My opponents got minimum +350k and bigger got +800k.For example is here the mods difference for the round 1 of this week :=========== Mods ===========6 dot Mods :: 145 vs 370Speed+10 :: 426 vs 497Speed+15 :: 135 vs 211Speed+20 :: 28 vs 48Speed+25 :: 2 vs 6Off+100 :: 59 vs 43Im on the left as you can except ..When it happens once or twice ok .. but this is every week (3rd since beginning of the GAC concept).Before i had fun with GA, now im just struggling because i havent the same amounts of toons and mods.Im not f2p, i spent money. But muvh less than my opponents.I spent money to have easier matchup, not much harder which make absolutely no sense. Im very sad & angry about those matchmaking.

I was under the impression that results would be factored in as we progressed. If you did well you would face harder opponents, to determine the best of the best. If you didn’t do well you would draw easier opponents, and play with other less competitive people. While it’s still early, I’ve seen little indication of this.

Yeah, there's simply no indication, it takes the matching from scratch every time.

Ya you read it right. Before it was sorted by GP, if people developped cleverly their account, they were rewarded in GA. Now its killing people like me who only developped useful stuff.

Ok to explain what sucks, let’s take an exemple. Have a look to this’player ranked 24# of division among 20000 or more 4m rosters.https://swgoh.gg/p/451249583/I am ranked 2000# , And all my ennemies from the beginning had 100 g12 with meta g13. With 19 g12, he s just fighting the poorest rosters of the division again and again.If GAC become a good objective, he just have to do nothing. No gear or zeta... any upgrade would make him fight stronger opponent and go down in ranking.What the point of such a ranking if poor rosters can be 1# without fighting better roster?GAC is dead if matchmaking stay as is.

How much do you think your previous opponents had, getting beat by you and your (I assume) mediocre roster?I spent money to have easier matchup, not much harder which make absolutely no sense. According to yourself your opponents spent more. Maybe that's the way forward for you?

You mean spenders shouldn't have an advantage? How do you think that would work for the revenue of CG?

But again:
How much did your opponent spend?

It already works that way in squad arena and fleet arena. In TB and raids, the guild members who spent more get better rewards. In TW, things are a little different - as guilds are matched on GP, so the heavy spending guilds tend to go up against the heavy spending guilds. When GA was first launched it was billed as an individualized TW. But if CG is simply going to twist GAC into a modified squad arena, where those that spend get easier matchups in an effort to "encourage" spending, then IMHO, it's a failed opportunity.

The spenders have an advantage in virtually every other aspect of the game. As someone who was once a spender, I would be fine with one game mode where I actually had to be smart about the game play, understanding synergies and strategies, rather than just throw money at it and win. But hey, that might just be me.

Wouldn't this simply be matching only within leagues (when possible)? So we should be able to start to judge it after this round.
