Re: Broken Promise ("Balanced Game)

I experience the exact issues in about 50% of the H2H games that I play.  It generally happens after 2 wins in a row.  The 3rd game is noticeably more difficult, and often even unfair.  I try to lock it down and be as conservative as possible and just wait for my opponent to make a mistake.  It's incredibly unbalanced at times.  I get that they want to make it more alluring to those who may not be as good at the game, but I feel like there are people who are aware of this, and even abuse it somehow.  I am not the best at the game by any means, but the lopsidedness is way too extreme at times.
