Yes, there is no doubt in my mind the Arena is rigged. It’s usually subtle, but it’s rigged. I’ve had numerous ‘locked screens’ when I was winning, or about to win. I send screenshots of the locked screen to Rovio, and they reply with “what device are you using, what is your iOS”, blah, blah, blah. I used to reply with the info they requested, but received no further reply. Now I just send a screenshot of the locked screen and then ignore their reply. I’ve also noticed that the majority of the time when you play an opponent with a much higher ‘flock power’, you generally win, however if you play an opponent with a much lower ‘flock power’, you generally lose. Makes absolutely no sense and makes it difficult to choose whether to waste a ‘spell’ or not. I used to purchase gems, but after realizing the ways the game is rigged, to encourage you to keep puchasing gems, I stopped purchasing gems altogether. I used to be fairly competitive in the Arena, but now just play occasionally for fun.
