90%+ challenge battles (mostly unwinnable)
I keep on getting challenge battles (80-90% of the time) This makes no fun at all, since most are not winnable since opposing forces are vastly superior and have more powerful options Why is it tha...

I'm in masters 1 right now with mostly lvl 9 units (lvled up my only 8 yesterday and have one ten now too). I just think there should maybe be another league before masters because the unit lvl jump is considerable and although yeah you can see it as 'well done us' I'm only playing for fun and being crushed by lvl 13 players isn't that fun really is it? I'd still like to play good players but with my excuses removed for losing. Having bikes die to rhinos and tanks die to wolverines and never having a defender advantage isn't really how the game should be played and I have to run specific decks that aren't that competitive in many ways just to overcome the odds. So yes I stand by it and it would be good if you earned cards/credits for every win, but that would cut into the p2w profits so it isn't viable. But another league might help space out the player levels better since it seems the majority are in masters which seems like a mistake. You don't see lvl 15 in bronze league and shouldn't be seeing lvl 13 vs lvl 8s and 9s so consistently in masters. I am trying to stay in masters 1 without going up or down for this reason.
And to those that insist levels make no difference, you're just wrong. For one simple example you need to double every unit to win, one flame squad cannot hold a pad vs one enemy higher rank flame squad so you must use two or include another specific unit in your deck. Most games I lose its because I am outplayed but then there are many I could have won if I wasn't forced to use specific counters like chem buggies.
I was in master 3. After season end somehow I am put into diamond 1. I hv upgraded a few unit to lvl10. Now my opponents are lvl11 and 13. Seriously you really get * off big time if you really buy diamond to upgrade your units only to be facing units 1-2 lvls higher and get into a “kill your bikes with rhino” situation. Seriously, what is the EA folks trying to do here? * every1 off so that we start uninstalling ???

Hi @totorodc12345,
With the season reset, players earn medals based on their highest rank. This determines where you start this season. Because you were in Master League last season, you've earned enough medals to start in Diamond League this season.
The cap for Diamond league is level 11. With the season just starting, it is very likely that you're facing players who may have already upgraded their units and are at, or near, the league cap.
I'm having a similar problem now @EA_dance210. It's gotten so bad that I honestly think I'm going to have to quit playing, because it's no longer fun. Despite trying to change my tactics and strategies, my win rate has sunk to a low 20% in Diamond after the season reset. Prior to the season end I was able to hold a decent 50% in low Masters. I have no idea what changed with the matchmaking but whatever it was it's legitimately sucked all of the fun out of the game, and I'm beginning to regret having spent money on diamonds.
Just a small example of opposing forces 😨 in the attached picture...
@EA_dance210 I am in the same situation with everyone else on this thread.
I think you’re not understanding the problem.
The problem is with your reset system!
I joined the game several days ago.
I went through the League climb at the end of April’s season.
All the players I faced had units even level to me or 1 level higher.
The problem is your reset function isn’t taking into account Early Season Climbers vs. Late Season Climbers
I reached Masters with level 9 units.
I have some crazy good Micro Skills my team mates have said so!
However, I never once faced a person with lvl 11 or higher units in Masters.
I climbed at the end of the season.
All the high level players are in Tiberuim.
I never even knew a League Cap existed because I never had a high unit level issue!
I think the mistake which is happening is when you go to reset people!
You are resetting players 1 League back.
I think you should be resetting players 2 Leagues back.
I have level 9 units.
I spent some money to buff them.
I spent money because I was having fun.
Every since reset happened it has been really sad.
It really stills the joy out of the game.
It really makes people want to quit.
Every player I face is a Challenge Battle.
In addition, They have strong micro skills.
It is the beginning of the season.
They have both the high level players + micro skills to tear people like me apart.
If everyone on this thread was reset to Platinum, I think many of us wouldn’t feel as bad.
The cap in Platinum is 10, but with lvl 9’s.
It doesn’t feel as overwhelming as facing 11’s.
I really think the game needs to factor in the Early Game Climb vs. Late Game Climb.
I think the reset system you have in place isn’t thinking about it.
Here is something to think about.
I have seen lvl 11 Riflemen take out lvl 9 Shock troopers.
I have seen lvl 11 Wardogs take out lvl 9 Missile Squads.
The level difference because vastly apparent.
It becomes a real issue.
