They are rewarding people that have either spent more time with the game, have put in money or both with the tie breaking system.

You give them too much credit. They knew a tie breaker was needed, so they picked the easiest option.

Probably right on that.

I know it’s been discussed many times before as being unfair, but I wanted to share my most recent experience with the tiebreaking system. Here’s the results of the final (to decide first place) 3v3 battle:



Now, I’m significantly lower GP than my opponents, which is a huge problem that many are experiencing currently. Here’s what I don’t understand though: if you can’t get players into fair matchups, the tiebreaker shouldn’t be decided by GP. Or “arena power”, whatever that term is they use. It really sucks to do an incredible job as a significantly weaker combatant, and then get shafted by the tiebreaking mechanic.
Sorry, but if someone with 1.5m higher GP allows a tie, I don’t believe they should be awarded the win.

Again (for the trillion times) the match-up is FAIR because there is no match-making logic except win-loss performance. You got matched with him means you both have similar win-loss records. And the fact you got tied only reinforce it even more.

Interestingly, one of my recent matches also ended up in a tie in favor for my opponent. At the end, we just enjoyed the tense fight and had some fun in the in-game chat afterwards. Get over it and move on.

No, the matchmaking system is not “fair”. There is a significant outcry from guild mates, content creators, and others on the forums that agree with me. You practically cannot defeat someone with a GL on defense if you have none. CG literally set it up that way, especially with the nerfing of viable GL counters in the past. When you have players at 2m GP going up against players at 6m GP who have two GLs, and you still call that fair, I don’t want to know what you’d consider unfair lol.

I’m glad you can stay in good spirits on a loss, but I’m sure you can still understand why a loss like this would be frustrating.

The matchmaking seems much more fair in GAC than it is in TW. You're looking at this in the wrong way I think. If you are punching up in relation to your GP then it means you have teams upgraded that are capable of handling things like a GL mismatch or severe relic/mods mismatch. What you are saying is "I want to continuously beat up on people in my own GP range that are disadvantaged". GP is not very meaningful in this game. It's the teams you upgrade and the mods (and now DC's) you have. Water seeks its own level. It should want to at least if we are talking about anything close to being fair.

Everyone is going to have the occasional severe mismatch. It's not just you and if it is happening all the time then you are being adjusted back down to a more fair level.
