I’m not usually one to complain about the difficulty of content in the game, but the mismatch I’ve been handed this round of GAC is laughable. My opponent has 2 GLs, on top of the 29 R7 characters in his roster. I have 0 GLs and only 6 R7 characters. What on earth is one supposed to do when matched up against that? Surely CG can add something to the matchmaking system to make it so only those with GLs face each other so people without don’t have to go up against things like this?

While matchmaking does pull from the top 80 toons, it clearly has blatant issues. With his 29 R7 toons and a total of 52 ish relics against my 6 R7 toons and a total of 35 relics, it clearly favors the opponent.Not only can they field more teams, but those teams have a much much higher probability of full clearing my entire defense while having a lot leftover for defense. Especially in 3v3. GAC was created before relics and Galactic Legends, and I firmly believe it needs to be changed to matchmake only those with Galactic Legends together and have a similar number of relics. Why should they not?

just a rough look, you have double his zetas, and 3x his g12quick look at characters, he drops off very quick out of his top 60, G10-11 or less show up quickly. your top 80 are almost all g12. the relic difference is really buried in those differences.

Agree with Kyno's assessment.That is an odd-looking roster: extremely top-heavy and almost looks like an attempt to min-max except for some odd choices. Surprisingly short of zetas too, even on the GLs - kraken account that was powered up quickly perhaps.His GAC stats are not impressive: defense heavy with minimal under-squadding.You should be able to find a strategy to beat that.

3v3 is generally a lot harder to fight GLs. Also underdogging is much more risky (obviously).

Agree, original GP MM was fair than this one, sure for 3v3

You could argue that both MM designs were fair. However, the current system creates significantly more even matches and doesn't disincentivise building the lower part of your roster like the old design did.

To add to this,

The new system allows player to "correct" mistakes of the past. you can build new teams and toons into your top 80 and let others fall out.

the old system there was no way to push anything out, you just carried your mistakes.

yes we all have to live with bad choices, but this game is about planning and developing, the new system lets you do that more than the old way.

I won that guy in GAC who is 600k stronger than me.
His team could not clear 4 of my team's.
And I won 1244 against 1216.

It’s not a theory. Well done - matches are not won and lost on paper.

They're won and lost in the CG laptop where the employees decide who will win and who will lose.

Do you mean that GAC is rigged ?

If you count the fair matchups, I win easily.

If you count the unfair matchups, people are trying to steal GAC away from me!

I think you should file a lawsuit and demand a banner recount in all zones.
