GAC matchmaking only counts your top X toons, which is the minimum number of toons needed to fill a full 5 man defense and make a single 5 man attack against each enemy

See I'm wondering why everyone says this is the case. I have never seen a dev post to clarify it. GA says it is based on maximum number of squads allowed to be deployed.

Defense has a maximum number of squads, Offense does not. You could deploy a good chunk of your roster on offense or none at all.

To me the description sounds like it only takes account the number of characters needed to set a full defense since only defense has a "maximum number of squads".

Yet most people double that number inexplicably.

Is there a source on this somewhere I missed?

as far as i know they never specified how many toons, but i do believe they said it's based on the amount of def slots, not on how many squads allowed to be deployed.
Doubling seems the most obvious and the numbers work out from what i've seen, atleast they did with squad only.

See this is the only thing I've ever seen that says anything about matchmaking and it's in GA:



All it mentions is the number of squads you are allowed to deploy and you are only allowed a certain number of squads on defense.

I don't know, I believe it only uses what you deploy on defense and everyone is overthinking this and will continue to do so until I see a source that contradicts that.

Did you run the numbers during the squad only GACs, or are you just basing your opinion on the wording?
To me only using the top (def slots * 5) for matchmaking seems unlikely for a couple of reasons.

• You're using atleast double the toons if you clear your opponents defence.
  
• Only using the top40 would leaves too much room for mismatches.
  
• The reason for the change is matchmaking was to decrease the influence "fluff" GP on matchmaking. Only using the top40 for matchmaking takes more than just the fluff out of the equation.
  
• The numbers work out with top (def slots * 5 * 2).
  

With fleet included it's anyone's guess how that works. Thusfar i seem to be less closely matched than with squad only, but maybe relic progresssion is to blame for that. Fortunately for me it's usually in my favour.
