Who thinks TW Match Making works well?
I have been observing the matchmaking on TW for the last few months and it just does not add up. Wins and losses aside, does TW Matchmaking really work? Are you regularly matched against a Guild tha...

Yes, I appreciate the full stats are for full guild...
But I am more concerned that they have 2 ULT GL's (that we can see) in the actual event and we're no where near that level...
Our Top 8 Arena Power: 144k, 136k, 125k, 110k, 107k, 105k, 104k, 100k
Their Top 8 Arena Power: 179k, 166k, 161K, 160k, 129k, 119k, 116k, 112k
Yes, there will always be those that don't/can't join but it is just really demoralizing when you know that there's ZERO chance...
Kyno just the fact that you are fighting our cause gives me hope!
I will amend my post for the bit added in frustration...
just so we are all aware, they are very unlikely to ever give any specific characters influence on matchmaking. so the number of GLs with or without ultimate is always something the players will have to deal with.
Surely, if a matching process works based upon
"The squad power of participating individuals in each guild should be near the same average power.
and
The strongest possible squads of both participating guilds should be near the same average power."
Whilst the GL itself isn't called out, the GP Imbalance is obvious and looking at these 8 teams to me looks like both these two factors have failed... Clearly it would be worth investigating from each of the 8 which ones actually joined TW!
I know that on paper match ups can look heavily one sided in favour of Team A and then Team B wins, but I think that is the exception, and not the rule... I stand by that the match ups algorithm is flawed and needs a more in depth review. We had what appeared to be a fair match and we were stomped upon, that to me is just better tactics on their part.
All this post is meant to highlight is that we the players feel that part of the game is actually not working in a fair manner.
again, unless I am mistaken. those top 8 on both are based on who is in the guild and not who joined the match. (it is not specified in the post). so I dont think we can make that determination from the information stated in that post. "would be worth investigating" is such an understatement in this situation. it is a flawed comparison without that being accounted for.
so while many posts try to highlight this same sentiment, many times they use inaccurate representations of the matchup and that tends to skew the perception of what is going on.
this is not to say they shouldn't look into things and try to make improvements, just that many of these that seem to be "open and shut cases" are not necessarily the case.
