That just shows that almost nobody wants a real challenge in GA.
This is a sad day for competitive gameplay.

I disagree. I do think people want a challenge - I just think they also want a fair fight. There are situations where 2 guys with both Revans are in the same bracket with 2 guys who have neither. That's not a "challenge" for either side (unless they only faced each other, which to win, isn't possible).

A matchup algorithim that can't seem to account for the two most meta dominant characters in the game's history seems to need "retweaking".

Or you call it what it is,an advantage.
A deserved one, if you farmed/speng accordingly.
People without revan don't win or win with an good counter and other good teams.

Except CG has stated in several places that the intent of the GAC matchmaking rework was, at least in theory, that "players will still be rewarded for their strategy in Grand Arena, but they’ll be matched up against someone who looks more like them. The change won’t be drastic – in most cases, players should still have GP that is pretty close to that of their opponent."

In other words, that advantage is supposed to help in arena, TW, TB and raids - but GAC is supposed to have matchups of rosters that are more evenly matched. Either CG's statements about the matchmaking rework for GAC is off base, or the matchup algorithm seems to be. And since CG has remained silent on the point for the past 24 hours, we don't know which is the case.

We do know, they don't need to come out and say anything right now as there are no emergencies/malfunctions in the game. It's explained right in the game how it works right now. And that explanation simply can not give you the result that you expect from the new matchmaking announcement. There's no magic that will simply give you even match-ups.

Im just curious how 6 people in my division set one extra team earning them 90 extra points

Is it against to ToS to wish herpes on the entire CG staff? Assuming they don't already have herpes.

You can wish on a star, you are not entitled to anything from cg or the universe though.

Does it matter95% of the player base is always going to be in the 500+ caregory

We all want best finish possible but even top players gonna find themselves in +500 bottom it seems even on full
Clears

Too bad people can be dishonest or else you would see a ton of chat deal
Making..... “ok i cant win can you let me clear 7.5 areas for banners and u take the win”

Not enough trust for that to go around lol

EDIT not encouraging this i made a thread once saying chat should be removed from GA to prevent collusion but i was wrong in the end that or ppl hush hush lol

No doubt. It would be shard chats 2.0.

All my opponents have far greater character gp and overall gp and from div 4 while I'm in div5 but guess what they're all gunna get smashed cause I built strong squads while they're all over the place so get over it guys. You could get matched with me since we would have the same character gp and get smashed anyway.

I would be happy to be placed against you and it would be a good battle. At least I would be fighting in my division so we could figure out who is the best in our division. Isn't the point is to move up thru the ranks within your division to become the best. Why should we be punished for farming the right squads.

And why should I be punished for having played the game longer, so I have all your squads and teams like the jawa meta, so my GP far exceeds yours.

Suggstion : give bonus points for defense even if 1 point to break ties.

Benefits : under current matchmaking I think there has been a major major shift to setting horrible defenses or weaker defenses in order to get max points (basically trying to out perfect your opponent)

By adding a bonus to defenses it might encourage people to be more defense strategy instead of the all out kamikaze we are seeing now (of course not all cases)

Rewards are completely based on rng of matchmaking.

No point to spend.

This will be addressed not sure how tho...
