If you’re in a bracket with players with higher GP than you, it means that you’re got a good roster for your GP, and that’s a good thing.
No, it's not a good thing. On my alt I am 2.2 mil gp, no GL yet. Last round there was a guy with 4.5 mil gp and GL Rey, this round I am facing right now another 4.5 mil gp, which seems to be deliberately inactive. He lost the first round, as I did too. His teams are auto-deployed. The same thing with that one with GL Rey. They were inactive, so no, it doesnt mean I have a good roster for my gp. No no no...
Well... it could also mean your opponent is bad at the game or doesn't care.
I think the big issue is that some folks don't want to accept a long-run 50% win rate. And they don't like that doing so will require some unfair matches along the way.
I think a lot of people don't want to wait a few months while their skill rating matches them against the appropriate opponents. A few month of not having fun would make a lot of people consider a different pastime.- EnderGamer87New Spectator

That would only be true if it was the median player not the average. There might be one realllllly dumb player that skews the mean.
You know, who doesn’t understand averages…
And when two people are talking about how dumb the average person is, probability says one of them is below the median line.
Just want to add to this, but with the mod screen being a mess, it can be confusing. Also when the new characters for past while have very complex kits, it can lead to characters not being played optimally. - ButtercupBrawlerNew SpectatorGP matchup examples from first few rounds were off as people are still fluctuating to their proper rating. Now though that it is starting to balance out it’s usually a good thing to see a higher GP player as your matchup as they will most likely have garbage roster/mods. It’s the low GP matchups you want to watch out for. They will have all their GP concentrated into usable teams.
- Me: 4xGL 99xG13 5*Executor 7.8m GP
Opp: 6xGL 200xG13 7*Executor R9s galore, R8 SK, R8 Boba2 etc 9.5. GP
Having "Whale Fails" Yo yo up and down isn't fun for those of us on the down side.
My opp can't beat their equals, the spend loads of money but are terrible so they will just yo yo back and forth? Meaning they lose to people with similar rosters who aren't terrible at the game, and get bumped down to win vs much smaller rosters only to get back to where they belong, but again they are terrible.
The rest of my pool was pretty good. I'm ok with mm but the yo-yo whale fails are a bummer. "Ragnarok_COTF;c-2330945" wrote:

Couldn't agree more... I have 3.5m GP, on the second round I faced one with 4.9m GP and a GL, he didn't deploy so I was able beat the lower part of the map, he saw that he had a TON MORE SQUADS than myself so he proceeded to clean my lower part and one squad on the upper part so it was an easy win for him. My next opponent has 5.1m GP and didn't deploy also, I just opened the front row of the lower part and was about to clear the back when the game crashed and I lost the only squad that could defeat his last squad. I'm just waiting for him to realise that he has a TON MORE SQUADS than I to do the same the last one did. So I'll be 8th in my bracket because of that. Like someone once said: "This is outrageous, it's unfair!".
There should be a bigger penalty for those that don't deploy their squads.
If you're losing to an auto-deploy, I don't think you'll enjoy facing tougher opponents after a "free" win is granted. Heck, I almost want to lose this week because with the squish, I'm worried I'll move too high early in the season and get walloped next week. (Which is fine from an income perspective, 3-0 and 0-3 is 3-3, but it would mean a week where I don't think I'll have much fun.)
Well, I surely won't enjoy facing tougher opponents, but as you said, I'm not having much fun now either.- mushroombNew SpectatorLast round the opponent has 10% higher GP and 3 more GL
Just a waste of time - M0st1yHarm1essNew Spectator

Personally I'd prefer a round robin style tournament, so yes I have to play the "whale fail" but I also get a crack at the weakest account.
Sure but imagine the thread made by the weakest account "I was assigned to this bracket where everybody else has 2mln gp on me, and I'm stuck here for the next 2.5 weeks!" - McPubeSackNew Spectator10% difference lol I wish.
I'm at 1.7M GP fighting 3-4 million GP opponents. Was hoping to lose and and get demoted this week but 2 opponents didn't attack and I got promoted. :s :( :'( - dogwelder79New Traveler

So the difference in GP didn't harm you. That's a good thing. Why the sad face? - McPubeSackNew Spectator

Oh because fielding 5 teams for defense and 5 teams to attack with is extremely hard at my GP. I'm fielding gear 8 junk squads. Was hoping to get demoted down. :'(
