Alliance Wars Imbalance

[Witch]

This war is matched using 30 best heroes. Titan score was last time…

Another status update.

We can see from our logs that using Titan Score performs clearly worse than using the team power of the top 30 heroes. The median experience is quite similar between the two modes, but on the 90th and 99th percentile the number of total massacres was much higher when using the titan score.

Please keep in mind that this whole thread was about how the new matchmaking (based on team power) was worse than the old one (based on titan score). The latest war verified that this is not the case.

We’ll bring the team power based matchmaking back for the next 1-2 wars. Hopefully after that, we’ll have the next iteration available. When it is, the current plan is to try using only the top five heroes and compare the results to earlier wars. We are planning to do an AB test where half of the alliances get matched using a simple sum and the other half will get matched based on a formula that takes the non-linearity of the team power into account.

After we’ve digested those learnings, we’ll probably combine the top five heroes to the remaining 25 heroes with some weighting.
