Fairly sure they are. The second the clock rolled past midnight, I saw a defensive loss. Could be pure coincidence but I feel it's unlikely.

It seemed like they stopped charging more for a loss than a win for a while.  Or did they?

How much you gain for a win / lose for a loss is and has always been based on the difference in ratings between you and your opponent.

Well. Jinxed or not, hello gold tag. I can smell Ramantu right around the corner. In like three months, since I need Gomlok :/

Fix broken arena one man, its a disaster . 

Put a penality who abuse  "one man defence' please.  Stat of PVP is horrible right now.

They increased the tag tiers, so I think everyone is more likely to move up a few ranks without any issues and then settle back into their new spot.

I went from G1 to G2 for the first time with absolute ease, usually get hit a lot on Sundays.

I moved from BR1 to BR2 in tag.  I have no battles losses since the reset.
