This is a horrible QOL update from the TW perspective. The problem with TW isnt the draws (at least at my guilds level I.e. 50m gp). It is the appalling matchmaking services implemented. In the last 5 tws we have faced guilds where their average gp per players is at least 500k higher than ours. However they are brought down into our bracket because only 40 members sign up. Yet the update focuses solely about breaking up ties.
This bit particularly worries me
"If less than the max units are brought into combat, 1 additional banner is earned for each empty slot. This is so players are not penalized for attacking with fewer than 5 units."
So basically... we will inevitably come up against a bunch of whales who now have the ability to gain bigger bonuses for clearing out of full defensive teams with 1 or 2 toons each time. This is just another nail in the coffin of what is a great concept but absolutely attrociously executed.
