You completely missed my point. If you're so much better at managing your resources than your opponent, why are you not higher ranked than them? If you're ~400 relics higher than them, but still are at the same rank as them, getting matched up, it speaks volumes about the skill gap. If they reached the same rank while having 400 less relics than you, then they're the more impressive player here, not you. What's the point of managing your resources well if you don't know how to use your roster to its highest potential?
