Excessive points lost in PvP

Unknown

My first round of battling in the Squirrel Girl event I hit top 25. Came back a couple hours later and had been attacked and lost a few points and was dropped to 40 something. Battled back up to the 20s, went to bed, load up the next morning and this started happening:

I was dropped from 20s to 350 over night. For the rest of the event I would battle back to top 100, lose 100 points from being attacked 10+ times while at work, rinse, repeat. I easily lost over 500 points from being attacked over the whole event.

My son also plays this game and he had a completely different experience. He would be attacked a few times and drop maybe 20 or 30 ranks and then battle back up past where he was before. He had the exact same team comp as I had (2 star Storm, 2 star Magneto, maxed), his alliance has the same number of members but was ranked top 650 while mine was ranked top 2500.

There is absolutely no way you can recover from losing 100+ points every couple of hours. Clearly this isn't happening to everyone or I wouldn't be losing so much rank every time it happens. And this is not the first time it's happened to me although it's not every event. But it happens frequently enough that I just don't see the point in putting much time into PvP events anymore.

Anyone else experience this?

I have had the same experience with the time slice/bracket I'm in with Coversquirrel.

It's part of the game because I chose not to shield so I'm going to get hit often. Especially if I'm in a more active and/or smaller bracket.

Just not understanding how my son, with the same team comp, better ranked Alliance, hangs out in the top 50 without being attacked nearly as much as me.
