[Official] New Association Tournaments - Live Now - What's new

[a.gavrilin]

Isn't the same. Remember that without play FAs with a 2nd team -like we used to do in the IC - the regular season competitions and the FAs go hand in hand, affecting each other.

What happens from now on with this change is a leveling of the AvQ, having the teams inside a close quality rank, preventing stuck 9* teams to have the hegemony that gives them their dominant position as a tankers.

It brings fluency to the teams quality which will not be stuck for seasons, if you manipulate by reducing the avq to 79% the first season day, and 6 more teams in your league do the same, the average teams quality tank goes to a lower level, that is more reachable for your competitors, creating a close envoironment where to play.
Having less stuck teams means that people will have to pay more attention to the players behavior, learn about the internal roles assigned to the players, internal programming, test players and learn a bit more about matches scenario lecture. Instead of seeing how a team have a win by a default K.O. given by the quality margin in a fixed way.

I like the new shields btw... cool designs

Boys, most probably you haven't yet reached top levels of your servers where the biggest bs is going on. And Nordeus doesn't give a **** to even try and find and solution for these players. My 110% perfectly ytained team has just been rapped by 183% opponent. Yesterday I was destroyed by 167% opponent. And I don't even take into consideration the result of 9-0 from much weaker opponent. I try hard playing the game and visit each match but still I have only 11th place in my league which means I will repeat the level but I'm not a tanker and my FA will suffer because of this. How this update can be a solution? How can this update help me?

and as for the tanker - do you really think the problem will be solved? Just get 2-3 teams and change them each season - 1 team tanks and collects greens, another team plays the FA, then you change teams for the next season. So simple.

And finally this update will only bring disbalance to the game. More people will start building 8-9 stars squads with 160-180% avq in order to keep winning league. Just like in my case - the only way for me to win is to build the same 180% team. Sure it will be a good profit for Nordeus as real money will be invested and people will start buying their training lab with 9 stars players (now it is clear why they introduced this bs) but this will be the last nail in the coffin of this game

Come on, boys, are you joking? Fix your random draw engine first before connecting it to FA tournaments. For the last 3 seasons my 100-110% team keeps getting opponents from 165% up to 185% in the league. How the hell am I supposed to get even 8th place playing against 9 such opponents.

And what is the main target of FA tournaments now? Previously it was a a target to get to top100. Now we will struggle for some tokens and a couple of jerseys or emblems of different colors like you made in useless friendly tournament? Fixing current FA system was easy and the community gave you a lot of ideas how to do it. But still you decided to do it your own way killing the last fun of the game. Who cares to play your predeterminded leagues, cups or champions league against +60 +80% opponents?! You just killed the only positive feature of the game where skills and players mattered. Most part of your community was playing the game only for the FA.

Let's do things 1 by 1 and well , this is a great effort and a good move , next steps will come

[Adam Howarth]

spot on! I couldn't agree more... especially the bit about the league allocation algorithm! it's ruined the game for me!

As I understand it, we will have only one matchmaking for each season to define the groups of 64 confederations that will face each other. Assuming the matchmaking is fair and we will have teams with the same percentage in ours groups at the start season, will something be done so that the teams do not abuse and get to be 15-20-50% stronger than the other teams?

This is exactly what everyone will do. It will be a percentage race.

If you don't want to pay, then you can't complain about not winning either. If you expect to win it all for free, you better have state of the art strategy

Many of the changes look interesting but something must also change in the league.
Seeds is the only way!
My team is now 118% but this month I am in a league in which there are 10 teams among 123% and 130% (almost the same range -20% at the beginning of the season).
I have to fight till the last match to stay in the first 8 position while some of my friends at the same level can easily win their league with a 90-95% team.
This is not fair! And with the new rules will have impact also in FA because I will have only 2x multiplier.

Another suggestion... in seeds do not consider the mean value of the top 14 players but the highest % of the initial formation in an official match of the season, to avoid sell and buy trick.

Level 60+ teams and low-level teams are not on an equal footing. At low levels, it is very easy to rank 1-3 in the league. The same cannot be said about 60+ levels.
Lian, will this be taken into account somehow?

It depend on the server, but ofc. it brings competitiveness and a fluid ranking instead the fixed one we had with the known manipulators eternalizing their presence.

Now you have to earn the job.
