AP balancing for PvP games

Just got into a match, I was 5 AP over the 300 limit.
Instead of letting play at a 5 point advantage, I had to remove a 62 AP unit.
Changing the game to give my opponent (theoretically) a 62 point advantage!?

Maybe there needs to be some gray area when it comes to AP matching.

If one player has to play at a disadvantage, it should go to the lower difference.

I know that will take a lot of work on the back-end to get that to work properly, but it's a suggestion.

Maybe the AP cap should loosen up if you are unable to find matches quickly... as to allow for games to stay competitive.

in a way this is good: you just need to balance your army and spend your AP wisely

I can see how long term it could all work out, but without more options early game, seems like it will turn a lot of players off.

time will tell. They just put the new patch yesterday if you played the game before the situation was worse as players could abuse the system by queueing their amazing 100 AP army (yes it was possible) made of 2 units. Now it is still possible to abuse it in the 200 AP bracket but only by spending 3+ min in queue the matchmaking constraints are changed.

I think a big warning sign is much better than a tiny red line on top of the screen that gets unnoticed so that i can requeue if i really want to play only my 400 AP army.
