Are Conquest Trials difficulty changed?

My account is small and I still struggle with a lot of battles, but last Conquest trials were disaster. 
Before I needed a 1-2 tries to clear the battles for Bane, Malgus, Tie Interceptor. BUT!!!! Since previous Conquest it is impossible. Same teams, same mods, even more Relic levels and I can't make one move... I am nuked.

I tried then different teams... same results ... I AM totally obliterated. 

I have stars.. I have 140+ shards in all of these units... but now it is impossible. 

What has been changed? 

P.S. All enemy units are R3 but are going through my R7-R8 as hot knife through butter. 
This is not fun...
