Its fair because out of all the players in the game, playing GAC, you two are similar in skill
*skill rating
If the complaint about the current rating system is that it pairs you with opponents that have too high GP, then getting a higher skill rating for beating higher GP opponents would only exacerbate the problem.
Anyhow, I feel like GAC is a lot more interesting since the change. As in I lose more than I did before but it forces me to think about what I can do to get the edge on higher GP players. I’m a fan of the new system.
Some day the sun will explode. They'll probably stop appearing then.
You have very wierd definition of fair.
You each have the same Skill Rating, giving you a 50-50 chance at winning. That's the definition of fair.
Just on paper, friendo. Just on paper.

To use my own example, when they kicked this off it took me exactly 1 GAC to vault from Aurodium-3 starting GP up to Kyber-3 based on my "skill" from that 1 GAC.
Come on, a 5 bracket jump that fast? No thanks, to me that is putting far too much weight on "Win/Loss" and not enough on the base GP.
The reality is you shouldn't be jumping brackets THAT fast.
Either the single battles are worth too much or the individual brackets aren't "wide" enough, IMO.
I dislike that divisions 5/1 also swap places at the end of the season. What is the point of that? Jumping from *1 to *5 should be handled as any divisional change. This also causes problems with the skill rating. As players in lower league have a higher skill rating than players in a higher league.
I want to say I saw a break down that Kyber --> Aurodium --> Chromium, etc etc was a % of the Population = to 10-25-30-25-10
At the end of each Season, they end up with more/less people in each division based on where their "Skills" left them.
So, then they do the "Skill Squish". And they reset everyone before the next season to redistribute everyone back to that 10-25-30-25-10
It sounded odd till you remember CG could not possibly give out TOO MANY rewards & break the stranglehold on Gear Economy.
They can't very well let too many people into Kyber & give out too many rewards.
So when all is said & done & the final skills are tallied, then they have to resort everyone by their Skill Rating into an actual 1 to End ranking & then lop off the top 10% again & call that Kyber & issue rewards.
Rinse/Repeat for each League & from their breakdown by Division.
GP was only used for the initial seeding. I believe it's fully intentional that as time passes your skill rating will almost entirely reflect your past performances while this initial seeding (and your GP) will have little effect on your skill rating. I like the idea that GP shouldn't have much influence on your rating/rank.
Yes, you and others may have jumped or dropped far in the first few seasons but that could be expected. Don't worry about that. After "enough" seasons the ranks will settle and people will reach their 50/50 level/rank where they win about half their rounds - in theory at least. I believe you won't be climbing that fast any more in the future.
The leagues are an even split 20% each of players. Divisions are where there is a 10-25-30etc split.
Which means by the end you faced K4 players and still won. So yes, you deserved your spot in K3.
Why is everyone thinking that winning "only" 50% of my matches is what i'm going for? That's just what CG wants, i want way more than that!
And i'm certainly not the only one thinking this way. But when someone is doing way better than 50:50 someone else is doing way worse. That whole system will never work 100% the way CG wants it to, it's always a trade off.

Not in the beginning.
You were capped at Aurodium-1 for several matches & only change at the end of the season.
So I won against some other Aurodium people & then got jumped up to Kyber-3 at the end of the Season.
its been explained above, and by myself, its generally means that the player is bad, has bad mods, doesn't participate, etc. they likely (not always) just join GAC for the extra rewards.
You can try using discord bots, or swgoh.gg to look up your opponent and get an idea of how they play, it might help you beat them as well (granted it's not a guaranteed win but they can help)
first id love to know if you won or lost, and second there was nothing to presume about your opponent when it came to this round he did lose the last two matches, more than likely that shows he either never tired or didn't know how to play well.
whatever advice you took was probably good advice, just it hasn't aged well. don't blame him for how you reliced your characters if the past and how it wasn't as good when you returned, he just gave suggestions based on the time and you took it.
Defence is pretty solid. However, I'm seen numerous 'minimal effort' attacks that if done properly would have resulted in wins.
So like most of these GP moans.........meh
You clearly don't understand how an Elo system works. You will win 5050 by design, not because we are striving for mediocrity.
You cannot change the 5050 win rate, what you can control is where you are on the ladder when you settle into your spot.
In other words you could "settle" for 5050 in aurodium, or strive for 5050 in kyber. That's how you determine success, and that's what your rewards are based on.
Yep, that makes sense. My bad !
Relicing good characters instead of prerequisites for a GL is a debatable advice.
5 of those 7 are GL requirements.

they were probably done before GLs considering his break from the game. likely from when g13 first hit
If your goal is to unlock a GL, chasing 3 GLs at the same time is more than debatable.
He did say that he returned 2 months ago after a couple of years off which would put the date for any advice he got Feb 2020 which was before GL’s were even in the game. Not likely anyone would have given him advice to chase a GL at that point.

Yep, we agree there.
I had one of these 7m vs 4m matches in the previous round, except that I was the 7m. Their roster was okay at the top, but had ZERO depth. So many characters that were level 1 or had a couple pieces of gear. Our top ends were pretty close to equal, but where I was getting another couple million gp was from all my g11 and g12 characters and their ships.
I'd have lost (still working on third GL, unlocked SEE earlier, but no ultimate and only 3 zetas; at this point he's only good for turning off Qui-Gon's omicron) except the minute he lost one battle he had nothing left.
Boost your gp. Even one more mediocre team is all you need.
