The current matchmaking is horrible. The old matchmaking from Grand Arena was much better.
For you maybe if you were benefiting from it... does not mean it was much better...just means it was much better for you- With the old match making I usually went 2-1, I never went 0-3 or 3-0 and there were times I went 1-2; and I really enjoyed it.
Currently I am 0-6 and every opponent I have faced has had a G13 Malak on DEFENSE which I am yet to defeat a single toon on that team (I don't have Malak), I have yet to lose a match by less than 600 points.
I am 4.6m facing opponents in the 4.8m-5m range - Best part of this is the silence IMO.
1) They cannot come out and say "Don't worry everyone its working as intended" Because they don't know yet if it's working as intended....so people get mad
2) They cannot say "it's not working as intended" because people would demand freebee's forever
3) If your still reading this post you'll remember they DID say "it's an exhibition and adjustments will be made based on the data collected...it will all be ok and we are going on radio silence for a month except for major bugs".....
Honestly this will get better over time most likely or it won't....but i think over time it will... hopefully GAC coin rewards get straightened out cause they suck right now for 95%+ of the game (again it's early...but a month is a looooong time to grind and grind to get 8-16 salvage) "Lord_Voldemort10;c-1917459" wrote:
I just have a question about GA championship matchmaking. I am on division 8 but my oppenents on GAC are from division 5, 6, 7. Is this a bug? Or is this how it works? Thanks
Divisions don't matter. Honestly, I'm not even sure why they created divisions in the first place. They just seem to be a confusing idea that is meaningless in terms of how GAC actually functions."Nikoms565;c-1918190" wrote:

The only function I can see them serving is for reward brackets.- ITS A LEADERBOARD SYSTEM. If u are div 4 chromium u should fight against other div4 chromium guys even if the matchup is uneven. Thats the point of divisions and leagues. If thats not what u want and u want "heart in the mouth" Matchups for every fight then dont have divisions and dont have a leaderboard system coz your current system is illogical.
- CG and EA, if you read posts just want to let you know I gave GA a chance with new matchups. Now after playing and trying you putting me at <3m up against almost 4m go teams I will no longer spend a single dollar on your game. I don't have the depth needed to compete and I'm being blown out. Thanks for ruining the game for me and congratulations on loosing a paying customer/gamer.
- It's just horrible and very disappointed to play GA, I don't have any fun facing team 2 times powerful than mine and loosing. I am focusing on character, that's why my GP isn't too high and I am facing higher division and GP player. Well I hope you will do something for the next championship. Please do something, thank you
- Posted this in the GAC Mega thread as well, but they need to see how unbalanced and unfair this has been for a lot of us:
I’ve been tracking each GAC rounds since it has switched. And much like many of you, I have been matched up with players out ranking me.
In GA I did really well and was constantly competing for 1st. Then with the change I’ve won 1 phase in a GAC. Even when players I’ve faced are moderately more powerful than me, 200K character power more and 6 zetas gives them 2 more full squads on me.
The worst match up I’ve had the player beat me in character power by 500K and 14 zetas. That’s incredibly unfair. But somehow we had the same Top 80 GP? Which some of my shard and guild mates said was their new measuring tool. This is way out of kilter.
Story of the game. If you’re not a whale and maxing out, you can’t compete. It leaves us with lesser rewards, which just furthers the gap that whales run away with. It shouldn’t be too much to ask that there is a better system for match making. I know things will never be perfect, but this current system is extremely broken. "Dk_rek;c-1924640" wrote:

no your literally asking for people to be matched up against people that will blow them out... that goes against the devs wanting to keep blowouts under 5%..
There is nothing wrong at all with cross division play
Cross division play is one of the most obvious flaws. How are people supposed to compete against others within their division for rank 1 when some people get more combat than others?
Just let matchmaking decide if I get 5 or 6 or 8 combats to gain points. If I don't get 8 battles I can't be #1 so I quit trying.
This system isn't just bad, it's actually literally unfair in the literal sense of the word fair or fairness. 2 people in division 2 with identical rosters, one gets matched vs a division 3 guy 5 combats, the other gets matched vs division 1 so 8 combats.
The player who got limited to 5 combats will NEVER be #1 and never even had a chance because cross division matchmaking.
If you don't see cross division matchmaking with different combat requirements as a problem I don't know what to say... it's just not that hard to see by now.
