Re: why are there streak breakers in arena

@boomballoonflowr I thought that is what you are complaining about....you are asking about whether the 7th streak is a robot, we are telling you its a player. You are saying its unfair and we are telling you its the strategy that counts. Powertoss is trying to explain there are penalties in the game to avoid to boost your score (with whatever plants you are using) and now you are annoyed... if you don't want any advice regarding strat and they are plenty around in the different threads to help, then don't say the game is unfair...

    @Perfume-shroom92 no, i never asked if the 7th streak was a robot, i will say my question again for you, why out of nowhere a player with high level plants appears just to break my streak? also, if you didnt notice, the pics were just an example, there are far better examples to prove that theres something odd that happens once you reach a certain amounts of wins in a row, even @MAGICDAVESHROOM  acknowledge that these people have been in the game since the arena was included, and no, im not annoyed, you replied with something completely out of topic which is why i called you out and @eieio_31310  and also @awtessman  cuz if you are not going to at least prove to me that these ppl that im talking about are just a figment of my imagination, no offense, but i would like for you to stay quiet cuz im serious here and i want an actual solution or proof that im wrong in this case

    @Perfume-shroom92 i know about buffz & bruisez thats why i was literally using only shadow plants excluding imp pear as they had a huge boost against zombies on that week, plus all your "strats" either involve paid plants like power lily or previous premium plants that were given in the arena or pennys pursuit like turkey pult or stickybomb rice, i dont have those therefore i cant use their strategies

    @boomballoonflowr 

    There are bots and also hackers in the game and the plant matching system is way off,  sometimes matching a low level player against a mastery level opponent. Iirc for the first couple of hours everyone is playing against a bot, an algorithm that is designed to track your score closely but is still beatable. Then for the rest of the tournament you play against recordings of actual matches.

    Why streak breaker bots are still in the game is a mystery to me, there's no need for them and anyone caught hacking gets reported where they get to play in a special cheaters league away from genuine players.

    The matching of low level players against high level players also needs to be addressed but to put it bluntly EA/popcap don't take a lot of notice of us unless it affects their bottom line.

    @MAGICDAVESHROOM  exactly, the matchmaking is as bad as the one from clash royale, which is why there are certain ppl like me who go against players or sometimes even bots with really high level plants or even max mastery plants, yes i do know about that, many online games also do that to make you feel like you are really good at the game and then you start facing actual ppl and thats when things get rough if you are not good enough, sadly matchmaking issues rarely get fixed, as sometimes they are intentional to make you feel worthless so you can start spending money to make yourself as powerful as those people but i dont think that that is the case here, its good to see that someone understands where im coming from with my complain
