So the 2 chatters get their spots at #1 and #2 because they want to "navigate" and lock out the #3 player. Explain to me how you're not purposely shafting #3 player.
The other helper dude has only as much chance of getting the battle as you do, though. And I bet if you get up to 3 spot before attacking/sniping, these guys won't care enough to actively attempt a DUAL clock block. And/or they won't bother BUYING a refresh in order to try it. There will be days when they run out of battles and they won't bother. Unless you are that guy trying to snipe from 5 or 6, when there are only 3 of you. Move out the deadwood before going for the gold ring, and you will more than likely get your share.
If these dudes are that petty over 50 or 100 crystals... and they are in a private clique... this is not a group arena. This is a gang. But it still might be worth it to try to reach out...
Because if you have ever attempted to snipe from 5 spots, believe me they remember this for the rest of their lives. Petty, we are. Humans, we are.
Also, if you ARE already respecting your payout dudes by climbing to 3 before sniping, maybe they are doing this for reasons you aren't even aware of. Maybe you are hitting the wrong people outside of your payout.
Something you might never have considered... why are these two guys already in 1 and 2 before you get up there? It's maybe because they can safely start their battles way sooner, because they know the "maze." If you are join the group, you can have the same chance to run the gauntlet, first. And the stress of trying to make it up there in time is gone. It's just easier and more efficient all around.
