@clovos I’ve read through these and I still think that the programming is skewed way toward the computer opponent. I consider myself a very good player in this game and the scores that some opponents achieve are completely unrealistic.

Here’s another major problem with the arena that I have noticed in the last 4-6 weeks. The opponents in the arena are 1) from multiple different leagues (i know that because I’ve clicked on the opponents’ info and saw at least 3 different leagues that they were listed in) and 2) are now made up almost solely of bots. I was in the top league and winning or finishing in the top 3 every week, usually with anywhere between 250 and 350 stars each week. Then out of nowhere, the top player had over 700 stars one week. I was away the following week and didn’t get to play so I got bumped down one league. But I’ve noticed that all (except for about 2 players per week) have those stupid automatically generated names and AB profile pictures. I’ve since stopped playing the arena regularly, only occasionally to play a round, get the gems, but I’ve also been getting myself in the bottom 3 to see if this issue went away in the lower league. This morning I went from the Silver League (3rd lowest) to Bronze (2nd lowest). The winner in last week’s Silver League Arena had 725 stars. Only two profile pictures had pictures of anything other than an Angry Birds image. Two months ago there were some weeks where there were only 7-10 players that had stars, the others remained at zero. Why? Because they were REAL players who just didn’t play the arena. Filling the arena with bots who are getting 700 stars in EVERY LEAGUE makes this game not fun anymore.

My strong suggestion is to remove the bots and let those of us HUMANS who are playing, compete with each other, not with computer players that don’t exist.

And please don’t tell me that no bots are used. That’s like saying Ashley Madison didn’t use bots. We all know how that turned out.
