CG said they re-did the matchmaking in the GAC and I am having a really hard time believing that. I am just over 8.1 million GP and I have 4 GL's at R7. In Round 1 of this current GAC my opponent was just shy of 9 million GP with all 6 GL's at R8. I won because my opponent did not set defense, so the AI set auto-defense and I was able to clear. In Round 2 my opponent has 8.3 million GP, all 6 GL's, with JML at R9 and the rest at R8. This is not improved matchmaking, it's hot garbage.
Matchmaking doesn't care about your GL's it cares about your skill rating. What was the skill rating of your opponents vs yours? I bet they were within 10 of each other. You might not LIKE the matchmaking but its working exactly as they told us it would.
Everyone's skill rating at the start of the bracket will be the exact same. It's why this system is hot garbage. You will always be matched with folks in your division who put the same effort you do into GAC now that crystals are in play.
I wish there was nuance to the skill rating, but everyone goes up or down the same amount after each round, based solely on the outcome (win/loss). Banners don't matter.
