A fair grand arena match...?

You’re basically asking the devs to make you a JV conference. Would you be ok with competing for significantly fewer rewards as a result of playing in JV? Because if they just matched you with other people who lose and matched the winners with other people who win, keeping the same rewards system as now, then the winners will be getting lower rewards so that you can get higher rewards. Why should the people you admit are better than you at this game mode get lower rewards due to only getting matched against each other?

I never said the only reason I lose is because this game is exclusively pay to win (though if you can’t acknowledge that money can make a huge difference, I LAUGH LOUDLY IN YOUR FACE) .. read my words: I said IM OUT PLAYED.

Here are some of the things, you said:

I really don’t enjoy grand arena at all. All it does is discourage me. If I lose 19 matches in a row, why am I still matched up against people who curb stomp me every single time? Are they all paying to win and I’m the charity you’re giving them?



You know, if you let the pay-to-win players have all the fun, eventually the rest of us will leave .. and then the p2w won’t have anyone left to beat.. then they’ll leave too.

Yes, there are plenty of ways to win some rounds without paying anything. I believe many of the players, who beat you, are f2p.
There's plenty of fun and plenty of victories to be had as f2p.

I’ve been getting out played since the beginning of GA. If you felt you were constantly up against players with teams you have no chance in beating, you would probably also get frustrated.

At some point the frustration would probably become big enough for me to start working on my roster, strategy or execution in order to improve.

As some people here have indicated, you’re basically screwed until you have the meta teams..

Which division are you in? My ticket alt won 12/12 the previous GAC with no Malak, no Darth Revan, no JKR and no Traya. Just promoted to division 2. So far 5/5 wins. No, I don't expect the streak to last forever, but it proves, that you can still have wins even if missing a lot of the latest META teams.

so I ask quite plainly, why am I matched up against players who have them EVERY TIME?

Because you have matching division, league and relevant GP. If your opponents have stronger rosters than you, they simply built them better than you (for GAC purposes). Let them benefit from their effort.

I can understand if it’s 50% of the time..even 60% or 70% .. but when it’s every single time, I think it’s fair to question (and many others have too) the crappy matchmaking process that seems to favour some players over others.

If it favours players, who build stronger rosters, it indicates, that it's not as crappy, as you believe.

But what am I doing? It was stupid for me to say anything here.. some people can understand, but as usual, the biggest response from people in these forums is to proclaim that the only possible answer is that there’s nothing wrong with matchmaking, I’m just awful, I don’t understand the game, etc ..

Do you mean like this guy? :

I guess that makes all of you feel even more smug that this issue isn’t affecting you.. maybe as a casual player that’s just the way it has to be..

Being casual has nothing to do with it. It's all about your roster, strategy and execution.

I’m not the greatest player in PVP, and at this stage, I certainly do not expect to defeat even half of my opponents .(mostly due to not having the toons they do)...but I guess I DO expect that I at least will have a chance at beating someone at some point..

I guess you already do. You have to develop your roster and strategy a bit, but you do, nevertheless.
