GAC Question

There are So many times when playing in GAC  SWGOH that has me scratching my head and I wanted to reach out and see if other people are experiencing the same thing at times.  I'm playing against a player right now in GAC and they easily wiped me clean.  I look at there roster and they haven't got great mods and don't have half the zeta's on their character's. I sitting here, trying to figure out how they took out my defense without dropping many banners (if any).  Does anyone have that issue or at least find this to be strange?

  • You know you can review your matches after the week has been completed on swgoh.gg, right?  No need to scratch your head about it.  Have a look once the week's done.  I think rarely there's anything suspicious about it.

    Well, this suggests to me you're not totally understanding what you're doing.  Everybody drops banners.  I doubt there's ever been a match up, without any dropped banners vs a competitive (for the Skill Points) defence.  It's practically impossible.

  • I suggest reviewing the swgoh.gg later if you want to see what worked against your defensive squads. There could be a number of reasons. If squads with poor mods and missing zetas (important one’s - not all are vital for counters) are clearing your defensive squads it’s important to try to understand why so you can improve your defence. It’s hard for us to pinpoint a potential issue without seeing the matchup and swgoh.gg data. There is the potential you were out matched by roster depth by a poor performing player (it’s why larger rosters who are active can slip down until their depth wins the battle). So their roster may be poorly modded and invested but have the options of more powerful squads which would squash early game squads. 

  • You really need to look at your GAC history after the fact to see what happened to you.

    Now, if you suspect there is a pattern of cheating you can easily look at their GAC history right now and see if there is anything suspicious in their past matches.  

    Go to https://swgoh.gg/p/yourallyid/gac-bracket/      to see your possible opponents this week. Then click on this opponent and see his GAC history.   Note "yourallyid" is just the numbers in your ally id, no dashes.

  • First: I'm looking for help, not condescending comments relating to my knowledge of the game.  What I wrote above is what happened.

    "Well, this suggests to me you're not totally understanding what you're doing.  Everybody drops banners.  I doubt there's ever been a match up, without any dropped banners vs a competitive (for the Skill Points) defence.  It's practically impossible." 

    You said you doubt there's been a match, well that's the reason I wrote what I did.  Don't respond if your just gonna "Toll" people just in order to make yourself feel better about yourself. That's not cool. You're not helpful, so don't mark it as a solution because it's not, lol!

    He can’t mark anything as a solution, only you can. 

    As others have said, the answer lies in your swgoh.gg page and also the swgoh.gg GAC counters page. There’s no point being suspicious until you interrogate what teams they used to beat your teams. 

    First: I'm looking for help,

    There are many in this community who would be very happy to help, but what meaningful help can you expect to receive when your post effectively says “I dunno bruh, seems sus to me”. 

    If help is what you want, give us something to work with. Otherwise all you really want is to be agreed with. 

  • If they have messages open you could ask them with a "well played, nice clear is there anything I could improve on defence?".

    Also as others have said if you think cheating then wait for swgoh.gg and see what happened.

    Also and this is slightly tin foil hat territory,  as the aim of any ladder is that we all have around a 50/50 it does feel sometimes that something is ensuring that we all get that 50/50 win rate and RNG just isn't in our favour at all and it is for the opponent. Most likely though is that some opponents are just really good at attacking, or save the right teams for you by scouting you out.

    I myself have had a complete nightmare with the Stranger and Mauls DC while my opponents had no issue with mine. Had a look and its because they use LV, and it never clicked for me why my opponents never put down LV on defence. Lesson learnt even if took me 3 rounds to figure it out. Sometimes people are just better at the game than us.
