Current battle match ups // similar teams or lopsided match ups???

[The Slapper]

I'm curious what kind of match ups everyone is getting?

We are a top 50 team and we were tanking IP, but it wasn't doing a thing.

In 14 battles we've had like 7 top 25 teams (multiple inside top 10), 4 top 50 teams, and 3 outside the top 50 based on previous battle rank. No team we've faced has been outside the top 100 for previous rankings. Our curent team IP was outside the top 250 for most of the fights.

Is everyone else getting multiple lopsided fights regardless of current team IP and current team strength or not?

I'm not a fan of the wins or consecutive wins goals due to this...unless everyone else is getting the same...then it is what it is.

Just curious...thanks!

First.......

Top 250 team and we've faced FC 2 top 10 SAS 7 top 50 when we faced them and a few more top 25-50's. And mollies too.

[Sammo the Kid]

Yeah, they've been lopsided for us too. We're 0-7, that's never happened before but everyone we're facing this cycle are beasts and there's just no good points to be found.

Look out for festivus..they are killing it down at the bottom

We too are a TOP 250 team, and are currently 2-11. All team's we've faced are TOP 150 teams from last battle, with the exception of two teams. Funny, both of our wins.

We are top 250 and have been getting alot of top 25s and we are getting slaughtered..... it sux when the syn we are going against the dl is 3 times stronger than our stongest player...

Well with the winning streak in place, most teams are restraining going all out till last day. So if you're in the top 400, lookout for top 100 teams.

I'm in a top 400 Syndicate & we faced a top 50 Syndicate!

[The Slapper]

Thank you all for the input! Keep it coming.

I disagree with the "if you're in the top 400 lookout for top 100 teams."

We were ranked 300ish (purposely) and drew Solemn Carnage (regular top 10) who was either 2nd or 3rd in IP, so current Team IP had no bearing. Trust me I wish it did bc we got are asses kicked!

Is anyone else getting paired with teams MUCH stronger on a regular basis during the current battle?

I've noticed most of these battle matchup issues started occurring as soon as the (MoM)s started making noise on the scene. Once all the top 10 teams saw the writing on the wall, they started hiding in lower tiers to avoid losing to us. Not complaining, I get it. Just doesnt seem very sportsmanlike. Would have preferred to beat them in battle rather than by default. It is what it is though.

How are these wars matched up?! Strength of syn? Points earned?
I'm genuinely interested.
My current group has been outside the top 75 most of the war. Putting up minimal points like others in hopes for win streaks.
Yet we've drawn Bad Blood Rising twice, Sunnyvale, SAS, and Fight Club and others.... Wtf?!

I'm perplexed and really interested in knowing how the match making is determined.

As someone else said here once, have you seen the south park episode about family guy? The one where the manatees pick the balls in the pool?

That pretty much sums up how battles are drawn.

Watch it from the 2:30 mark

We were just out of 300 in the last battles, and we were served up the #69 and #68 syndicates, back-to-back. We're not even close to either team on total cumulative stats. Stupid.
