New war match system Terrible

[sulbin]

It's the result of a six-hour search.
9 digital age (our) vs 0 digital age + 6space age (enemy)

and 0 glory point.

This is a game that neither team wants to play.
Isn't it the goal of this system to prevent this terrible game from happening?

Personally, ranked at least 50th in alliance, I want you to let them meet each other.

The reason is your rooster at Ares, there is no second alliance with a similar one. It takes hours until your war weight is adjusted to a level where you can be matched. Due to the search time your alliance is prioritized and you get the first available match. As nearly no alliance wants to waste resources on a war against Ares it will be boring for you in the future also.

I dont get you, bro. If you want to meet a top 50 alliance, just arrange it yourself. Agree on roster size with INVICTUS, Parabellum or KUGL leaders (or whichever hard weight full DA alliance) and give it a go...
On the other side, I dont think anyone is interested, really... wait a few months and other alliances will catch up. Now - a few weeks into DA- while your team has zapped all upgrades in a a split second, most of the other teams are going forward step by step. Next time -when a new age comes - slow down your upgrades and you will have fair matches...

Hi sulbin! Thanks for posting. ARES is certainly an Alliance I keep an eye on.

If another Alliance in the top 50 would have been in the queue, the system would have certainly prioritized that match instead. Unfortunately, there wasn't a suitable opponent for you so it grabbed the closest match it could find. Not great for either of you.

Given this match-up, I'm curious to hear your thoughts on wait time. Would you rather be paired down like this after 6 hours just so you can play a war? Or would you rather wait potentially longer (12h total? 24?) before the system opens this wide?

Thanks reply Muet

We don't think we have to wait long if it takes a match like this. So we try to refresh search regularly.

I want it to be the same as it used to be, rather than waiting so long. There's no difference between the old days and the present, but it takes a long time.

I am 100% certain everyone would rather wait longer (without having to restart search) if it created fair matchups. Unfair matchups waste 2 days and absolutely kill team moral whereas waiting 24 hours or longer is simply annoying but worth it for a decent match. The main reason folks restart search is because the system creates unfair matches after awhile; which nobody wants.

Our worst match up since sandbagging.
20ppl war
enemy
2 D.A.
4 s.A.
4 c.w.
Then atomics etc

Our team,
2 S.A
1 c.w.
Then atomics etc

Complete waste of time

It's tough to know exactly how bad this is without knowing particulars, as AA can take down many SA bases. Assuming both teams rush (or not rush) equally the same (e.g., your side doesn't have level 248 atomics), then I'd expect a match like this after, say, 4+ hours of uninterrupted search.

But yeah, if this is bad as you describe then it's truly a team moral buster and big reason why folks quit war. Folks don't quit war because of long search times, but they do quit because of bad matchups... something I hope BHG begins to fully agree with.

Lastly, Muet stated that DA weights were fixed today but I'm not sure if SA was analyzed; but reckon it has or had problems too. If SA wasn't fixed then this might help describe your match frustration.
