How matchmaking on TW/GAC really work

Somebody knows?

I believe GAC refers to the 80 powerful PG toons only. Or something like that.

But TW? Is pure PG?

    Or Even if instead of doing a set quantity of the top toons like gac - make it based on number of characters over a higher gp threshold like 15k which would make it a bit more relevant.

    Pretty much any additional criteria would be an improvement.


    C'mon, is pretty easy. Just add a multiplier to meta toons PG.
    GAS, Nego and Malevolence would worth 20x his own PG
    Malak, Hound's Tooth, Mil F would worth 10x his own PG
    JKR, DR, Padme, GG 5x his own PG

    There it is, it would bring some balance. Or something like that.

    And anyone who suggests a different measuring value for meta characters again should have their matchmaking GP doubled.

    One of the perks of unlocking meta characters on the first run is the advantage of using them against those who don't manage to do so. If you'd only fight similarly meta-heavy rosters (or barely any meta characters when you don't have them) what would be the incentive to get ready for unlocking a meta unit the first time?

    I have opinions, not answers. If you feel uncomfortable with other ppl opinions, maybe this forum isn't the right place for you. Everybody is entitled to their opinions... I hope.

    Edit: you made you point about advantage. But you really don't want to test yourself against a opponent equally powerful?

    I have plenty of occasions to do so with the current system already so why would I want every single match to be like that as long as less developed but similar GP rosters are also fighting for the same GAC and TW rewards in the same league as I do.

    Why should a 5m GP player that is still struggling to unlock DR but has r7 ewoks have an easier way to kyber than those who were ready to unlock even GAS the first time around?

    I don't fight for rewards. I fight for the thrill of victory.
    There's no thrill beating to death such accounts.

    In GAC, sometimes I face ppl without JKR, DR and Padme (4.2M). Where's the fun? Sometimes the opponent doesn't show up to fight and give up in advance.

    Edit: but sometimes the matchmaking is perfect, winning by 1 or 2 banners in the last fight? THAT'S A VICTORY!!!
  • I wouldn’t want to face an identical team, just one where the ultimate match up is relatively fair. GP is an arbitrary measure and this seems like the only place where it is still used in any head to head format.
