GAC Matchmaking Mess...
Good evening I have recently read numerous posts promising that matchmaking has been addressed and match ups are now based on many factors other than overall GP. My simple question then is why with...

@Waqui I agree with you. Everyone should be looking to improve their roster between GAC. That’s more or less the only point to this game, right? The only problem is, when you’re out against teams you can’t beat, it takes the fun away from getting ready.
Right now everyone has to have the same cookie cutter teams, or you can’t compete. I see the same teams every GAC. Everyone places the same teams on defense, I know what I’m facing. For me, the only trouble is, do they place Malak on defense, or not. If they do, I’ve most likely lost, if they don’t, I most likely win.
You know what to prepare for, then. You know which teams you need to be able to counter. If you can't counter DR yet, work on a team that counters it. Until you have a counter, you will have trouble.
I think that’s an issue. I don’t feel like one team should be able to control an outcome of an entire match.
Your own roster controls just as much. No DR counter.
Is it my fault for not farming them right away, or putting money into to get them faster? Yes it is, but I don’t really care for those characters so I did t want to spends months farming them.
You made a choice, then, and you were aware of the possible outcome.
Also, putting people in with people they have no shot at beating isn’t fun.
This is only the first round in a GAC. Players will advance through the leagues at different paces. Matches will become more and more even (since league proression is based on performance). It's a championship. A competition. Stronger players have a higher chance of advancing faster. I see no problem here.
You can try to improve between GAC, but the next one you’ll just be in with someone better. My opponent this week( I’ve been in both sides f this FYI) has 16 gear 13 toons, plus the meta team. I’ve got 4 gear 13 , no Dr, no Malak. Is that a fair matchup ? Is that something I can change between now and next GAC?
You can begin the transformation today. It's all up to you.
No lol I’m sure I’ll get more gear 13, but I’ll just be in with a better opponent, or I could be the one next time that is built better.
You seem to understand. Great.
I just don’t think you should be in unwinnable matches. If this is a strategy game there should be a strategy to win every match.
Improving your roster in-between matches is part of this strategy.
