Warmasters Tier System

[Jack Shrapnel]

As the tier system has been in use for a few tournies now (in addition to our Thursday night games and the ongoing campaign) we have ample evidence now to really evaluate how this has been working for us...

....so how have you been finding the tier system?

When you are facing someone in a different tier does the system seem more balanced?

Is this unfairly punishing some armies, and rewarding others?

Are the tiers representative of OUR metagame, or based on something that really doesn't apply to us?

thoughts?

I think it's working quite fantastically, in all honesty. I think your game against Scott (Ogres vs. Daemons) was a huge indicator of it.

The only unfortunate part is when a new player tries to step in with one of the low comp armies (IE Vamp Counts). It can cause a fair bit of trouble, as an inexperienced player generally can't get the most out of their army for a little while, and if they're starting a number of points down it's quite tricky.

That said, I think it works well for our meta-game, and hope to hold on to it, at least until 8th.
