Getting old with the GP disparity - every level is having this problem besides Kyber 1

Agreed. Winning because you have more depth to you roster is not a measure of "skill" it's a measure of inventory. A player that drops battles against 4-5 teams, but has the roster depth to zerg his way thru anyway, did not use any "skill" to defeat a player who maybe drops 1 battle, but can't get past a specific team and is unable to clear. And now with ships, if you purchase your "skill" by maxing out the new ships, you can set a formidable defense and zerg thru ships as well. Again, no skill required.
