GW, What you need to know.

So GW is supposed to be set up like this.
Nodes 1-3 teams weaker than you
Nodes 4-9 Teams slightly weaker progressing to slightly stronger
Nodes 10-12 teams stronger
So here is where "your" strength comes from. It is your highest
ever team power on an arena win.
Ok so here it is. I test teams a lot. I tested a team it was
28,600 something. I won. I did not really care too much for it
compared to my other one at 28,247, so I'm based off a team 350
power higher. Now that said I switched me team again, now my
team is only 27,455, so I'm based off a power over 1,300 higher
than what I run. Following so far? Awesome.
Now I don't know about you, but I do not run a tank or healer in
Arena. That said my GW team is quite different than my arena. My
GW team is 26,400ish, so I'm now at 2,400 lower than what I'm
matched as.
So to sum this part up I am matched based on a power ranking I
ran 1x and that is 2,400 more powerful than my team I use in GW.
My "weaker than me fights(1-3), are typically mid 25k-27k, my
slightly weaker than me to slightly stronger(4-10) are typically
26,500-28,500, usually 28k+ by node 5 or 6. Now the stronger
than me team(10-12) are typically a mix of 5 of the top 8
powered characters all max geared. This is my GW. Now before the
"fix" I met these stronger than me teams by node 2 or 3 daily,
sometimes start to finish.
So that is how it is determined. It may seem broken, but we
often forget we don't run the same. I run no tank, no healer in
PVP. I run 2 healers in GW and less DPS.
Now is this flawed or broken? Reality is, no, and yes. No it is
matching you up by the very best you put out. No it is
progressing from hard, to very hard, to FML for some. Yes
because it matches you based on a totally different game mode.
PVP is about blow them to kingdom come in under 5 minutes. You
start each fight fresh without cooldowns. GW is about surviving.
You carry damage, no cooldown reset. It is very logical and
probable to assume that the same team in PVP is not run through
GW. Sorry but QGJ,Yoda,Rey,GS, and Dooku are not walking through
12 GW nodes. They are fast, they hit hard, 2 have very fast
special cooldowns, they are not tanky, they do not heal. This is
where the flaw is.
I finish GW daily, have for over 60 days strait. I like the
challenge I get. I don't mind losing characters, being forced to
sacrifice certain key ones to press on. It is "war" after all.
I think they should re-eveluate the matchmaking of it since not
everyone has a deep bench of geared and leveled characters at
their disposal. Perhaps take the average of the power of your
top 8-10 characters(within 5 levels of your player level to
avoid cheating the system) and multiply it by 5 to get your
matchmaking power rank. Just a thought. Sure is better fitting
than your highest ever power on an arena win.
