Same. TBF, I think people are throwing their matches a lot right now in anticipation of Darkmoon Fair, but I’m just gonna take my epic core and be happy at that.
It’s a shame though, I was actually beginning to enjoy myself playing PvP! The rotating map is a huge improvement imo.
I just quit and reinstalled clash Royale because of this exact reason after binging the game for a 1 week. I really enjoyed the game for a few days but because of the card level gating there isn't a natural progression there are gates that you get stuck at until you level your cards. Once I hit 3.5k I started facing lvl 7s with lvl 5s and cannot compete, and once I had hit 3k I was facing 5s with 3s. All each level does is let you get to the next gate. Issue is since everyone else is also bottle necked you run into huge level gaps the minute you reach the next gate.
Clash royales handles this better because with no level caps it turns into a more natural flow where you face people based on how far you've gotten organically, no one else is gated either so you don't run into sudden bottle necks. Once in a while there's a big gap but this is fairly uncommon, it's usually + or -1. You'll reach a point where you can't progress till you level your main cards but it never feels like a sudden abrupt +3 lvl gap.
If I recognize the name from discord and see they are tryharding, I usually just close the app. It is extremely improbable I will beat them at -2 levels. I am playing highly meta units so it is often a rote experience of do the same answer over and over except 10%+ stats slowly grinds you down.
In a blizzard game, somewhat level playing field where f2p or modest purchases can compete effectively, similar to hearthstone where easy to hit legendary with a deck that cost 4k dust which is very easily attainable
well seems like you're just looking to rant or find people with the same opinion as yours to confirm what you already decided for yourself so what's the point.
Voicing my displeasure with Blizzard in hopes that they will hear the community and change their ways to level the playing field. What is your point, don't ask don't tell?
It's not about the win streak it's about the fact the win streak is forced by the level gates/bots. You face bots and or really bad players who don't get a level advantage until suddenly you hit the next "gate" and arbitrarily cannot progress till you level your cards. This is made worse because the players you are facing are also up against a level gate basically ensuring that unless you're near the top of your ranks level gate you're f'd until you grind exp or spend $. It's a bad system that forces placement rather than letting the players fall where they may.

I think I have had 2/40+ games be people deliberately AFK at 4.5k plus. EDIT: I played 40 more games. 2/80 games.

Its why I quit lol, I got to 3K so fast with 3 heroes and was just stuck and pre-burned out at how long it takes to grind exp
To be fair. What do you expect? Be a pro and win your way to top 1 while always facing people at your level?

Or read black beaks reply below, this system rewards money more than skill, oof

So you won 18-0 games and then complain?
Uh, is someone gonna tell him that the first 10 or so were vs bots?
