What happened to GA?

So far I've had all close rounds even with large gp/gear/meta gaps.
The thing to remember is that the new matchmaking isn't designed to be "fair", it's designed to prevent blowouts. 2 very different things.

I would say it's designed to ensure the least amount of people can make kyber but then again you can only lose once... and in 12 "even" matches that should be ridiculously impossible for most

It's even more ridiculously impossible when they aren't "even" by any realistic definition...

What are you getting at with the last 2 sentences? The OP says he’s getting wiped which implies a blowout.

To the OP, the 1 round exhibition was the closest bracket for me, and it’s gotten gradually worse each round since. That being said, there’s not a huge difference between the first and last.

It’s really just the general problem of using GP in it's current form. If the bracket is set with everyone having similar meta characters, it will be close. When someone with lots of g12s and zetas on old characters gets paired against the same GP full of new characters, it will yield blowouts.

my opponents are closer to me in roster strenght since they changed matchmaking, but i would gladly go back ot the old matchmaking.

I normally see people with a minimum of 400k more gp than me, but my roster is slightly better, some have padme or gg 7* g12 (which I don't), but I have g13 Dr and bsf, which helps a lot. And still won. The matchmaking for my bracket says the range goes from 3.1 to 3.749 mill gp, so lots of variety.

I did mean blowout, each round has been gradually harder than the last with this last one being the worst.
I have neither Malak or Darth Revan which is pain if my opponents puts both on defence (which they usually do lol) as this means I'm restricted to what I can do.

You do this by matching them up with the same gp.

If you matchup players with only top 60/80, you’re going to create matchup players with people who have way bigger rosters.
That’s a unfair matchup advantage the developers are giving the larger rosters and it makes a big difference imo.

Matchup players with the same gp and let the rankings sort it out. I like playing against people at my level or close to it. I don’t like being matched against 5+ mil accounts as I’m 4.5.

I have little interest in gac now. It sucks.

Undefeated and yes I have Malak. I am pitted against opponents with 400k more GP than me yet it doesn't stop me from winning. Focus your roster and you will fare better.
