Another "tag team is dumb" post
As a player, I figure I'm thoroughly average. I spend some... but not much. I have some good toons, a few legendary's (fun side note - all have come from blue crystals - never gotten one from Void or gold), and I have I think 8 over 200 speed. I'm lvl 53 with just under a million power and I've played for just under 4 months. I've been ending up around the middle of the pack in Gold 4 in the regular arena since the update (I think I overachieve here as before the update I couldn't get to Silver 1... but since the update who knows/whatever, I'll take it). Context here to say... my teams are plenty capable, but not god-mode/whale and that's totally fine - I'm not at all complaining about my status in the game. I'm here for fun, not a youtube income.
And yet, I cannot get past bronze 1 in TTA to save my life. I do the minimum 5 battles, I land right about the same place if I do all 20 after a refill. It's just silly - there doesn't seem to be any way to advance. So I paid a little bit of attention for once and I noticed this...
(so we're on the same page, I'm saying 1 battle=3 matches. 1 battle means hitting that battle button 1 time to face 3 teams... not at all confusing I'm sure)
I think this is showing that there are 3226 "places" (or that's how many points that dude has?... I've tried to type all this out several times and I can never make sense of how this works) in Bronze 1 and I'm right there in the middle of the pack at around 1450 (after being spotted 1000 to start I guess right?). And the guy right at the top of Bronze 1 is there at the top of my battle list. So looking at our scores, is this really saying I would have to win 148 matches (starting from base 1000, 15 points per win x 215= 3225)? Without losing any of the three matches, that would be 50 attempts which would take 5 days if I didn't use any refills. Realistically, I pick my battles very carefully and still only win 70% of the battles on offense and lose 70% on defense (the majority of the teams I see in Bronze 1 are like that LW Hui0da person with 150k+ teamsx3 while my teams are between 50-70k per). So there effectively is no way to advance right? That's honestly how I read this: I would have to win all my battles on offense and never lose on defense to advance. Soooooooo... what's the point of doing it at all?
That also seems to suggest that everyone above him has three teams of (after looking at his team) 175k+ each? The vast majority of teams I see in Bronze 1 have at least 330k+ power in those 3 teams while I have 170k total for my 3 teams. I really don't get it.... the tiers suggest that a total of 188,840 players fill the tiers above me... but there are only 2226 (as everyone is spotted 1000) in Bronze 1? Points? People? What? Is? Happening? HOW DOES THIS WORK? WHY IS THIS PART OF THE OTHERWISE REALLY WELL ORGANIZED GAME SO TERRIBLE?
