Individual War Ranks/Weights

It's ''early next month'' now, nothing yet, Nb4powerup ??

Did he specify the year ????

I just finished upgrading my first AA bunker and went from position n 1 to 3
our n 14 is almost capped AA our 13 is Industrial lol
i think AA bunker is wrongly considered in the equation

Maybe I'm missing something, but why does war rank matter? I understand that the behind-the-scenes calculations used in matchmaking matter a great deal, but why does individual rank matter? Just an ego thing?

Overall team war weight is presumably a sum of all of the individual war weights on the team. So, when there is something wrong with individual war weights, by this significant of an amount, it impacts overall team war weight. Overall team war weight is what determines war matchmaking.

When you have full atomics weighing less than an industrial, it makes a matchmaking system already taken to its knees by sandbagging, even worse (who ever thought it was possible?).

Because every individuals war rank cumulatively makes up the teams war rank.. if max bases r misranked within a team, this also means the teams war rank is misranked... the more max bases that r misranked, the lower powerhouse teams r able to get matched.... its snowballing incredibly quickly as more teams advance through atomic and we r seeing crazier mismatches today that would have never been possible a few weeks ago..

If this continues on without being addressed the snowball turns into an avalanche in another few weeks..

Oops my bad ; ) @S_how... been a long day, jumped on it before reading ur comment.. double down!

 

[Vixen]

What is frustrating is that people can actually pinpoint the problem but Nexon still can't fix...

You're forgetting war rank is based solely on defensive upgrades, matchmaking is based on both offense and defensive upgrades. There's no guarantee the 'workaround' effects both. Even if that is the case though, it doesn't give them an excuse for not fixing it.

 

[Prodigal Clint]

SebQuattro I suppose there is a 1% chance it doesn't, but that makes no sense, is contradictory, and goes against what im seeing across the community in tons of matchups, not just PT's

 

[Manifesto]

Maybe this is a little simplistic but why don't they rank players according to their levels? Wouldn't it be simpler?
Levels are made up of all upgrades, aren't they? Economic, offensive and defensive. It doesn't matter if you are level 230 with Global defenses, you are level 230. It doesn't matter that someone else is level 190 with Atomic defenses, they are level 190. Level 230 should be ranked above level 190.
It's called the K.I.S.S. principle.

 

[Veldan]

And thus punish you for doing any economic upgrade? How would that be fun?

 

[Manifesto]

Punish or not I'm just giving Nexon a KISS! It just seems more logical and uncomplicated.

 

[SebQuattro]

How on earth is that going to punish you?

It's a damn sight better than players from your own alliance being ranked solely on their defense. If the same ranking is used for both alliances, then player level should be used. Ideally you would then be able to sort players by attack/ defense/ level.

Nexon continues to opt for KIS instead - Keep It Stupid
