Quit pitting me against much higher ranked units

I am getting very tired of your algorithms pitting me against much higher ranked opponents. When they are two whole levels above my units, what chance do I have?! You might look into making the peop...

    It's my opinion that it's just bad progression design, which is related to the monetization scheme of an EA mobile game.

    (Is skill the riding force, or is it grind/money?)

    Generally in competitive games with a ranked play system in which the "account" progresses in actual playing capability, you want the act of progressing to feel like an extended tutorial to ease you into the game and get used to it without getting stomped all the time in matches.

    It should also be designed so that players who are skilled can more quickly bypass this "extended tutorial" and not feel stuck in it.

    This game has things like "races" and stuff but you can easily see the problem with their design and how getting in those top spots may not always be so feasible as it would imply if you are skilled(the case when you're well under leveled for the bracket you're adjusted for and have to wait for the content grind)

I think you are actually too good for the league you are in. You progressed faster than most so the only people in the league that you are in are those with units higher than yours. 

You sometimes see people with units close to what you have but they are rare and in the same boat as you.

Seems like they should give me more credits to increase my units levels for being so much better.

I am level 21 I believe in platinum league.

        I agree, but even with the races you must spend actual money to have enough diamonds to acquire the credits to feasibly level the units.

        I have placed 1st in a few of the races but did not have the 600 or more diamonds required to buy the credits earned. There are still quite a few too many issues with the game, I believe I will be quitting it again, figured by now they should have worked out a majority of these still occurring problems.

    I was the same. Far under leveled and then it becomes impossible to win because other players are rolling out level 10 to 12 units to my level 8.

    Regardless of any reasoning that you all are going to give me fir this, it is still trash. It's not okay to be punished for your ability.

    They need to put players together based on account level until you are level 60.
