Rumble Rival Matchmaking

I actually left out a few in the interest of keeping it to a minimum. You're welcome

 

You might like to look at this thread...there's some interesting theories on compensation. You're welcome

No change yet in rumble matchmaking...

 

Sad days.

 

So, after bad match results last time, and the above example, I decided to delay today's 1PM EDT rumble until later.

 

Have quite a tough rumble today, against Sinister Souls. Willy, you're a good fellow I suppose, but why do you rumble with 2nd accounts?? Fair? I don't think so.

 

Totally fair in rumble in my opinion. He can only physically Attack with one, at least successfully.

 

Not true, exactly. 2 Accounts means 2 devices, at least 2 Apple IDs. Not complaining bout us being 2nd in this rumble with 4k+ BP. Proud of us. But being defeated by a Top20 guild cause a PH2 player which is 14d in this Game and making 1.2k BP in 200+ Battles feels miserable...

 

Yeah I totally get the Ph2-4 attacking nightmare. To equal their output mean copious time and gems. If Willy is using a PH2 account to win the rumble, well that's shameful.

When I look at the mechanics around matching and bp scoring for all PH levels, I wonder if anyone ever game tests at Midoki, or truly looks at balanced play. Or maybe they just like their local pub too much?

 

I appreciate the fact that rumbles are designed to give all guilds equal advantage regardless of PH level, but I have to agree the advantages afforded to the lower PH levels may have extended beyond what was intended. We have been fortunate, as we have not yet encountered a guild manipulating this loophole to their advantage.

 

So temped to react on that. But I would get cursed for lifetime

 

I guess that equal advantage was not an entirely accurate statement. What I meant was in a non-gemming battle, a guild ranked 734th with 50 people has equal advantage against the number 1 guild with 50 people. But yeah, in hindsight the statement sounds rather dumb

 

We hit a guild with 24 people...no problem right? 4 mini bases put up over 6000 points between them. I'm all for competition but that's just nuts.

 

I personally do not have a second account. However, have I let a member join with a lower PH? Yes, but this was only intended to showcase how having a limited number of attacks per rumble would create a fair platform for every guild.

 

I've been sharing screenshots and trying to express the severe broken advantage a ph2 can have in rumbles ever since they first came out. Sure, the free gems are great, and my guild loves my twink account, but its broken and should be fixed asap.

Simple solution.
PH1 max BP per battle = 4BP for a 3 star against an equal PH
PH2 max BP per battle = 6BP for a 3 star against an equal PH
PH3 max BP per battle = 8BP for a 3 star against an equal PH
PH4 max BP per battle = 10BP for a 3 star against an equal PH
PH5 max BP per battle = 12BP for a 3 star against an equal PH
PH6 max BP per battle = 15BP for a 3 star against an equal PH
PH7 max BP per battle = 18BP for a 3 star against an equal PH
PH8 max BP per battle = 20BP for a 3 star against an equal PH

Edit: Why the difference based on PH level? Because it costs a LOT more time/resources for PH8 to train a decent army, compared to lower PH levels. In fact, with the above reward breakdown, it could be argued that ph1-4 bp rewards are still too high...

 

Wasn't my intention to blame anyone personally. Sorry for that. For me it was fairly clear, that a freshman couldn't compete like this PH2 guy did. Winning 200+ attacks takes more than 2 weeks experiencing the Game I think. Anyway. So we were "suffering" a showcase?! Great. Feels much better now.
