I have a bit different issue with Tag Team arena.
I changed my defense from real one to level 1s earlier today after the reset.
Last 2 defense battles in battle log show a win in 1 of 3 teams. In a spot where my most powerful team used to be. These battles happened after I put level 1s there.
I suppose something is wrong with defense update, and people still attack my defense that was there yesterday.
It may be the reason nobody attacks CHERUBIN31's defense as players still see a full defense instead of level 1s.
I had a similar discussion on discord the other day - when you think about this, it makes perfect sense. When you refresh (or get a new slate of opponents in some other way), either in arena or tag team arena, you can keep the same list of opponents for quite a while - up to a week, I guess, if you aren't attacking, aren't refreshing and aren't changing tiers due to defensive battles.
And so once you have that list of opponents... just imagine if the game allowed a defending team to be changed while it was on your opponent list. You prepare to hit one team but then once you actually hit, whoops, you're fighting an entirely different team? Doesn't happen, because once you have that list, the teams on it don't change anymore.
So yeah, it's entirely logical that if you change your defending team, you can still have defensive battles against people who fight your old team for a long time - several days and in theory up until the next weekly reset. Though of course most of your defensive battles are likely to be against fairly active players who refresh far more often than that.
