I'm having fun with the Faction War
I don't care about the Faction War
The existence of Faction War annoys me

Answer the poll as you would like and please explain briefly your choice. To me, Faction War is annoying for the following reasons :
1. Lack of instant feedback when you deploy war assets. We should know the % (with decimals) before and after IF you choose to deploy there. Right now, we know where it stands before we deploy but we don't anymore as soon as we deploy our war assets. It's like throwing a dart but not looking where it hits on the target.
2. Because of #1, I lack incentive to take the time to manually deploy. Seems like a waste of time between the real fun : actual games. Maybe it's something Ubisoft thought we'd be doing while waiting for "next game" to start, but since everyone always leave a game after it's done, there are never enough players to go on anyway, so might as well forget about the war assets, leave and queue again right away.
3. Lack of war assets consistency. Winning two games with the same KDA and renown seems to yield different # of war assets. The whole war asset reward seems like an "act of god" giving us arbitrary values going up and down the better / worse you do, but with a lot of "random noise" in teh result still.
4. A single player can't make a difference. When a round starts with a territory at 44% and after 20 manual deploys, it's still 44%. You actually get frustrated at the result. At this point, you want to "not give a s*** about faction war", but too late ... the mere fact you tried to "have fun" with the Faction War now annoys you greatly because it failed horribly.
5. I won as vikings and swtiched to knights to give them a hand on the current season. What I dont get is ... why doesn't the matchmaking favors putting me with other "knights" so we, as a team, can perform well and beat the other factions in the game we're about to play ?? If my team is 4 knight and we win, wouldn't the knights get more war assets as a whole ?? If my team is 2 vikings and 1 samurai, would winning actually hurt my faction ?? Is this making any sense at all ??
For all of the above, I lost faith in the faction war. It's not even a gameplay, it's not fun, I dont even know what the goal was when Ubisoft made it. The idea is nice, but there is certainly room for improvement.

I am really annoyed by faction war, for two reasons;
1. Non-skipable animation on main menu which doesn't even matter for 14 days.
2. It steals way too much attention from developers, where there are a mountain load of real issues.
I am dreading the next Warrior's Den, where developers will come again holding a plastic axe, yelling "Feacctttion WAR' and touching their nipples..

I think the Faction War is entirely pointless until the final 24hrs
The team that makes the best final push is the winner. Not the one that actually performed better overall. To then lock exclusive rewards behind a luck based system like that is wrong on the part of the devs.
And I say that as Viking player who won last Season.

Well the point is that you don't FEEL the faction war at all!
1) You don't fight with guys of your own fation against others, but it's just a random mix up, where you often even fight with a hostile faction against your own guys. You never come to develope a "patriotic" felling!
!!!Biggest Issue!!!
2) The rewards where widely under every estimation!
3) It is time wasting to deploy the assets! You have to switch to the map - get out of the current front and switch to another - switch back to the "next match window"
It would be way more appealing to be directed to the map instead of the "next match window" - not being inside a front just to get out of it for switching to another - being directed to the "next match window" after spending the assets!
4) More feedback what your donation really changed!
