GAC opponent

If your roster is top heavy, then yes.

It's not just relics. it's old ,out of date zetas too. Newer players have an advantage over older players that went hard on zetas when they dropped, which was the way to go.

2,200 if it's a metric ton of relics.

Match making have to be changed. Some ppl dont relic up their chars and dont give zetas to manipulate the matchmaking and its working.
You should never get punished for gearing up chars. Gp has like nothing to do in matchmaking.

Rubbish... all of it

We were told repeatedly that matchmaking is based on GP as an indicator of investment. But unfortunately and inappropriately they do not measure total investment.

I am close to my 3rd GL, have 76 relics and I am also matched against rosters with 300k to 700k more GP. Not top heavy. This whole top 80 approach doesn’t take into account that my opponents have more toons to choose from.

Top 80 isn't fair. You only need 35 on defence and often less than 35 on offence

I think the actual formula is 'numbers of teams on D x10' (for 5v5). 'Top 80' is an expression based on old gac where you put 8 teams on D in D2/D1. Now that's it's 7 teams + fleet, i guess it actually is top 70.

The whole point of strategy is to get in a position to fight easy, unfair battles. You want to start a battle 10 to 1, flanking and by suprise. Gac being a strategic mode, it's fine imo that your strategic decisions pre-battle (aka resource management) give you an advantage.

However, it's understandable that some players would prefer a more tactical approach where ressource management doesn't play such a major role. Rather than changing matchmaking, i would prefer a new game mode, like some kind of sealed/draft mode where you don't use your roster but characters from a pool.

Your opponent build a smarter GAC roster.

As did I.
