Nexon .. you have broken war matching...

[Vixen]

My alliance and several of the alliances in the domi prime community are experiencing terrible war match ups. This is not breaking news.. I just want to keep it at the forefront of Nexon's mind. We are a EA IA GA alliance and this war we matched Ares Army and their five inactive iron accounts. The outcome there is obvious and we are not fighting for a win but letting people hit for loot or challenge. The experience is demoralizing. We are used to warring against sandbaggers but this is an extreme mismatch. Lots of other alliances we know are getting the same. On the other token we are also getting matched with alliances who might have one or two global and the rest way beneath us.. again an awful mismatch. They give up attacking. The process is killing their war experience as much as it kills ours in our current war. We get no satisfaction beating up someone weaker than us.

What has happened in the last few weeks that is making these mismatches worse? It's like Nexon have removed all the matching criteria and we can match anyone.

I am excited that Nexon seem to have made inroads on the stalemates. This is great news for the top teams and I am excited for them.

They now need to focus on getting their war matching back working and working better than before. This has been promised for several months but not much has happened and certainly nothing productive. Penalizing sandbaggers by giving them 18 glory points isn't stopping them from adding irons. You need to fix the matching criteria that we are matching on. You don't even need to brainstorm. There have been hundreds of great suggestions listed on this forum. Maybe you need to stop adding new content.. go back and read and fix the existing problems.

I would suggest that some of your members are advancing through the ages too quickly or have far too many medals for their level which is giving a false level of strength when calculating your war match ups.

We have a couple of rushed but generally most of us have maxed each level (bar walls, generals and land clearing). Medals should have nothing to do with war matching.

Didn't some members of the community want this effect for war match making? If anyone can get matched with anyone then that removes the point of sandbagging. I don't agree with that point but some people did recommend it and it seems Nexon followed that approach instead.

Ours is just as extreme, we're up against an alliance of 25 (12,000 glory), only 3 of them have logged in within the last 15 days. Most have their nation as 'default', presumably from where they haven't logged in for several hundred days.

I imagine that some of the "inroads" on stalemates has to do with the broader matching. If you are an average of 30 levels above or below the opponent there aren't going to be many stalemates.

The problem in this match isn't a broad range of matchmaking, it's the ruinous effect of sandbagging. This is an alliance that could go in at full weight and get a match but they don't because it's so beneficial for them to sandbag....and it's how they've climbed the leaderboard. There is zero incentive in this game for anyone to go into war full weight, and there is every incentive to load your roster up with undeveloped accounts that never make hits but only exist to manipulate a horribly weak matching algorithm.

Is it possible to match 40v40?

 

[Vixen]

SebQuattro we have started reporting the ones who have default nation.. trying to drive nexon mad with the stupidity of it

 

[Vixen]

We are getting both and so are a lot of alliances on discord... I have been in three wars just now with horrendous matches and outcomes due to sandbagging.. but also shred is getting really wonky matches with our normal team matching poor teams way way less than us and we are trying to keep our team above enlightenment and lvl 100. We don't want to be be the bully either!

 

[Vixen]

possible yes... we have done one before... not sure how many teams play at 40 though
