Same world war matchup?

[Quovatis]

Our alliance got the exact same alliance in war as our first matchup. We waited 12 hours to find a new match. Is the game really that small or just unlucky? The system should not let you match the same alliance back to back.

Did you use the same people as the first time? That might explain it. We added some, took some away and had a different total # of players... Got a match within 10 minutes against a different alliance.

I worry this might be a problem down the line. There are only so many alliances with similar players at similar levels. If they don't remove the 'similar alliance match making' and make it a free for all we'll all see the same alliances over and over. I'd be nice to have it be totally random with a luck factor. That way you can be matched up against any alliance weaker or stronger. I feel like they go way to far in trying to make this game equal and babysit weak players to much.

Worry about it if it becomes a problem.

So far the matchmaking is working well and quite enjoyable using a proper 5* mixed army again. This way should keep maxed out (cheaters or payers) fighting amongst themselves and likewise a group of med/gp players fighting each other. If it was a free for all as your suggestion and we kept getting matched against USA Elite for example or a bunch of classical players, it would be crap again just like current multi-player.

I'm sick and tired of seeing constant maxed out, usually abandoned IA bases where a Smash & Grab on the TC with raiders is the only viable option. BHG had the balls to remove blessings from World War, now they only have to remove tactics and then can balance the basic troop HP/DPS without having to deal with OP tactics. Then copy the matchmaking, army settings back to multi-player and we might have a game, instead of a grind-fest.
