Did rebalance killed fair matchmaking?

[Saruman the White]

Has anyone else noticed that after the rebalances the fair (as it was possible) matchmaking is gone? My alliance's three last wars are impossible. Glory pts for win >1.000, Glory pts for loss < 10. The opponent has at least 5 CWA and 10 AA, while we have 1 CWA, 5 AA.

I'd like to believe that this is a temporary bug instead of an intended change. Please have a look at matchmakings again. For me it's WORTHLESS to be matched within 5 minutes against an impossible opponent, thus WASTING 2 DAYS. I MUCH MORE prefer FAIR MATCHMAKINGS that could take even 5-6 hours to complete. But would save me from a USELESS WAR THAT I CAN'T ESCAPE ALL HAVING TO DO WAITING FOR 2 DAYS hoping for better luck next time

Our Alliance matchmaking seems a tad better since the rebalance, and our matches usually take less than 5 minutes. In our last WW, our opponent was stronger and we lost by 1 Star. Our current WW seems we are the slightly stronger team so we should win this one. Stalemates seem rare since the rebalance and others have commented similar findings. However, a potential solution may be the implementation - if feasible - of a ‘Surrender’ or ‘Pass’ option with a very short 5 minute availability window onced matched, and if used, a 48 hour cooldown. So basically a team could receive a single mulligan if they were grossly missmatched in a WW. An unintended consequence of the ‘Pass’ idea is that it may unfairly target strong teams where they are stuck perpetually looking for a match because all teams are ‘Passing’. No easy solutions.

We've been getting better war matches too, but I didn't want to say anything in case I jinxed it....

Actually, stalemates dissapeared after the time limit was implemented.
