The outcome is decided before you fling your first bird. The game can’t know what shots you’ll take but the game can decide if those shots will destroy or fall harmlessly away. The game can also decide what score to give you. Ever notice how destruction you once wreaked now gives a puny score? Ever notice how shots you’ve made scores of times, one-birding the room now take 3? Or 4? Ever get the feeling that your score on a good shot is held back while your opponent’s score rockets skyward? Ever notice the bird visibly slowing down, doing no damage? I haven’t gotten past a 3 win streak in over a week. A 2 game streak only 3 times in over a week. I back out of more games than I play. Sometimes I have to back out 15-20 times before I get an opponent that is closely matched. I’ll win this week but I’m finished with the Arena. I’ll play it for the daily gems but other than that, I have no interest in playing against very low star ranked players with all the birds maxed out and all the spells. Why play when winning is not possible? And when you do win your score is held down so as to slow your advancement. Adios. One last thing…like others, I’m tired of birds’ special abilities not deploying, e.g. the chicken’s egg doesn’t drop or if it drops doesn’t explode, Chuck’s turbo not firing, Red’s battle yell silent, Blues not splitting.EDIT: To illiterate the above further, right after posting this, I have went back to the Arena and was matched with a comparable opponent. In fact, somewhat below my level. I was leading big, came up on an easy room that was a sure one-birder. First shot was well-placed but left pigs and structure. Five perfectly placed shots later when the chicken’s
egg didn’t drop, Terrence bounced off, Bomb did no damage and two other insults, I lost by 1.9m points. Well. I got my 300 gems and now it really adios Arena.
