I took a little under a year off from the game and was wondering if someone could explain to me (or point me towards a post about) how GAC matchmaking works. I've been matched with people of very different GP's than my own (I'm about 3.4m, so in the middle of the division), and with way more relic characters than me. I've heard that matchmaking takes into account GP of your top toons and relic characters but it seems to be inconsistent about this. Thanks!

Rosters with GLs should not be paired with rosters w/o GLs. It's impossible to win unless the opponent really slips, and even then you have to micromanage to an unhealthy degree. I feel bad for the people who play this game and put the time in to level up toons they like rather than the few specific teams that are relevant in GAC. Like me. I feel bad for me. Everybody should feel bad for me....and give me stun guns.

You are matched on the GP of your top {x} characters where x = number of defensive squads x 5 toons x 2 (for offense + defense)Be wary of gathering too much power (and GP) in too few squads. Try to build and maintain a mix of squad capabilities and strengths.

Hi, provably it's been answered somewhere but i have a GP of 4.95 and the current GAC shows i am in Division 1 (which is 4.5+). Why is this? I have rearranged mods and toons to be around 4.9 so i can be Division 2. Recently i have upgraded ans reliced 501s and GAS. But that should push me to a higher division if the separation is based on GP?

My bad. I always miss one digit. I am 4.489 less than 4.5. why am i being placed in Division 1?

Your division for the GAC is assigned before the GAC opens so maybe that already happened before you shuffled mods around.

@GrampaT76 you should read the second post in this thread. It will clarify how matchmaking works for you.

Your total GP is irrelevant.

I have read it,....I know of the complex way that EA is now trying to match fairly,...I have been in ALL the GAs since the beginning and it simply is not working better than before they had changed it,...

I disagree. Since the introduction of GAC with its matching by top-X GP and the removal of cross-division/league matches the matches are far more even than before.

My win rate is almost the same as before this change, but the matches are far more even.

Missed a year by about 25 days. That's too bad - it would have been an all-timer.
