I don’t believe we are playing bots, Desperado. We are playing real people with their spells and spell scores stripped. That is another reason I don’t take spells into the arena. Not taking spells levels the challenge. I have made an exception for the last half of this week for a reason.
But it takes away the challenge, I always win with spells, either 9 or 10 stars. The opponent doesn’t have a chance when I have Mighty Eagles and the rest, with five more cards to start with and can keep playing long after they run out of cards. I really don’t need them anyway because I am now being placed in apathy groups. I won 1st tonight with just 480 stars, 2nd had 382. Many weeks recently I have won with far fewer stars.
Again, I am happy Rovio got things set up this way. I never liked facing opponents with all five spells all the time. Although I am not sure why I am being placed in apathy groups and others are not since two updates ago. Still, without taking spells to the arena, I have a real challenge from the opponents. Many times I lose to somebody with lower flock power. Getting the win streak is never guaranteed. Many times I do win I get only five stars and the victory is by just a few hundred points. So if you want to be challenged by opponents, leave the spells behind.
As for the group, that is a separate thing. I am happy to be in apathy groups. I can work on different parts of the game without having to be constantly in the arena. And when I was constantly in the arena, it was just to keep out of the bottom three.
