See I think there needs to be a surrender button i am facing an opponent who got the best roll on Kenobi and there is no chance I can beat him with the teams i have he can basically block off an entire sector. We have almost the same gp but he just has better teams and datacrons are horrendous considering you basically are gambling with them to be good or broken.

the surrender button is doing one battle

Just because I was curious I did go to my ranking and picked the person with that same skill ranking just below the 8 in my Kyber 2 bracket.

In my bracket (#10992-#10999) the GP range is 7.6M to 8.6M with a 10.2M thrown in. There are 4 people with all 6 GLs and the rest have 5.

In the bracket just below (#11000-11007) the GP range is 6.6M to 8.2M. Only one of them has all 6 GLs. 2 have 4 and the rest have 5.

In the bracket just above (#10991-10983) (#10984 must not have signed up) the GP range is 6.9M to 8.5M. 1 has 5 GLs, the rest have 4 GLs. On the other hand there are 5 Malgus relics.

All of these are the same skill numbers. It appears to just be the luck of the draw as to where we land and whether the bracket appears easier than another one.

I dont want the thing taunting me with notifications about how I need to attack on my screen though. I already know I lost.

Attack with 3PO alone, instant loss and 10 points. Done. Collect crystals next day.

Can we nail this down because I’m getting a bit tired of these threads? There’s no matchmaking. Your bracket is determined by ranking which is determined by results. Imagining that anything else determines or should determine rank (eg an algorithm, morality, fairness, relative ‘age’ of roster, favourite cereal brand etc) is magical thinking. Magical thinking is never a good look - and I should know as I’ve built my whole marketing strategy on it (you think I really have time to check whose been naughty or nice - twice?!?). The whole GAC ranking ladder has been effectively deregulated & handed to the player base. Now, based on past performance, I wouldn’t be in a hurry to ask for CG to take it back in hand and introduce a new set of regulations. They won’t work for you.
