Can't stop losing games

I don't buy it to be honest, for a number of reasons.

1. Even at the early stage of the game, you're still playing against players more or less at your level, as I am now. Other players' teams are much better at this point in the game, but so is mine.

2. It was never a question of autoplay. I can tell when people are using autoplay, and I encounter it at the same rate now as I did before. 

3. I already went on winning streaks that allowed me to reach the level I was at, beating multiple of these 'better' players. Then suddenly it all collapses and I lose about 20 in a row. That doesn't make sense and it isn't normal. 

It also doesn't make sense that when I finally got within a couple of minutes of a victory, I was booted out of the game. I think there has to be some degree of scripting, presumably designed to cause frustration, to get people to waste hours playing, and to generate more in-game purchases.
