I have two accounts, one I bought some gems/energy, one completely F2P. The paid acct is on day 134, has been in G4 for a while, and would sit right below plat most of the time. I'd get hit 40 times (exactly 40) after each reset, and then nothing but wins on defense til the next reset. The only losses would be when I'd get pushed into plat, then I'd immediately get booted.
My F2P is 81 days old, has been in G4 since day 32ish after getting High Katun. I was running a double boost with HK, Bloodpainter (4 stars and only 3 star ascended), Warmaiden (lvl 50), and Galek. This team got pushed into G4 on defense in a matter of 2 days after getting HK. Exact same pattern, 40 exact losses after reset, then nothing but wins.
Exact...same...pattern. But the teams I had on defense were miles away from each other.
The game is rigged, and they took out the rigging. Check your battle log on defense. I got attacked 53 times in 13 minutes tonight. My P2W acct is back comfortably in G4, and likely belongs there. My F2P never belonged there, and is struggling to get back to G4 each night.
Honestly...if I get 39 tokens per day, I shouldn't be allowed to be attacked more than 39 times. Certainly not 53 times in 13 minutes. And yes, I run a better F2P team now, with Skullcrown, HK, Tayrel, and Gorgorab. It's not G4 worthy yet. But...53 times in 13 minutes never happened to me in over 4 months of playing.
It changed with the patch. It's rigged. And they changed it. And they'll lie about it. Because Plarium is despicable trash. But just look at your log, you can see exactly what I'm talking about.
