We're having a meeting this week, voice your concerns here!

If your software engineers can't develop a procedure to quantify the distribution/makeup of each faction, then you need new software engineers. I taught 18 and 19 year old freshmen who could do this without too much difficulty, so surely your people can too. Something that uses the standard deviation in conjunction with the average would be a step in the right direction (you can't use standard deviation by itself though - it is meaningless if it isn't normalized against a standard somehow), but I think a method involving the root-mean-square would honestly be your best bet at making the matchup system more fair.

It's not that we can't, it's twin factors of how long it takes to make that work in a scalable real-time scenario given the existing tech over here (not the possibility, just the actual time needed to make that happen), and also making sure that the change produced is actually desirable in large-scale practice. Distribution of power is something we've talked about a LOT over here in regards to the match-ups.

We actually tested some improvements along these lines over in Kingdom Age's WD-analog, but we had to revert the changes rather quickly due to some unforeseen bugs. It'll take a bit longer, but this is the direction we are moving in.

TLDR: We're aware the current system is sloppy and are working on it.
