What is the purpose of leagues and how do they affect multi-player mater making?

When you "next" and the server find you an opponent, its based on your trophy range only I believe -- not your league. Of course the league badge is influenced by the trophy range but we have all see bases in a different league than our own com up in match making. Two questions:

1. When the season resets, how does that impact match making? Would it make it easier or harder to find inactive bases and collector raids? I keep seeing people with no league badges but no loot either.

2. More generally, what is the purpose of the league / season system other than providing a league bonus? If it doesn't impact matchmaking in war or multiplayer I don't see the point.

1. You will still be finding people in your trophy range. You just don't get to wear your shiny league badge anymore so if you want it back, you have to attack.

2. Shiny badges which you lose if you aren't active.

I agree, there is little point to leagues. The entire trophy and league system seems to have missed its mark almost completely.
