I get that you can't play the game mode and all that, but that's not the question here....
Also we know how it will end up because they already told us how the game will react once they get the fix back in place.
Sorry I never replied to this, no that is not true.
Ties are decided by GP. Higher GP wins.
Filling strongest without synergy may kill their offense effectiveness.
Now that ships GP is no longer included in the fleetless GA's, match-making is fine.
"good for the person not setting d" "Take the rewards away from people who are asking for people to be punished for not setting D" etc. fake poll
nothing should happen... when the match is so stupid the other person will earn 0 points and lose by 1600...... too bad IMO about your credits.... then again I do think they should give people the credits for areas not placed...just to stop the complaining about it
not sure about your sample size there....
I seem to remember that there are multiple factors involved in tiebreaking.
Regardless, that's a stupid reason to decide the winner since matchmaking is done to control for GP anyways. In fact, wouldn't the better player be the one who can do the same with less GP than the other player?
And also regardless, you should get a chance to practice your GA work, even if it is against autofill squads.
There may still be flaws in the mixed GAs.
As far as I know in the GAs with ships, GP is weighted equally whether from ships and toons. Since the banner counts for winning a fleet territory is less than winning squad territory, this creates mismatches in the tourneys.
If invested wisely, higher GP should lead to better banner counts. (shorthanded wins, more armor, toons alive, etc.)
Awarding a tie to a lower GP player does not punish investment, it rewards the wiser investor.
But I think GP shouldn't be the deciding factor in a tie anyways since it is the criterion for matchmaking in the first place.
Most of the GP differences in GA at mid-levels are barely noticeable. I've had GA matchups where all 8 players were within 100 GP of eachother... what I'm saying with that is that neither of those people really "invested wiser" than the other, that's like one singular piece of gear on a toon that neither of them used. They needed a tie-breaker and they made one, either way it was going to be unfair.
If you want to do it properly then the player who used less total GP (defense + offense) should win the tie and in the unlikely event of that being tied, just flip a coin.
You just made the case for me....GP differences should be small in tourney matchups BECAUSE they are used to decide the matchups.
That's why this small, trivial amount should also not be the deciding factor for GA ties.
With GP being roughly equal in a matchup, the player who invested wiser in toons and has the best tactics should win. If players tie it is due mostly to even skills in toon investment and tactical decision making (and a slight bit of RNGesus messing with us). The trivial GP should not be the tiebreaker.
