skippytx wrote: No, it's not. It's a gameplay/strategy issue for sure. I have a single cover 5* and have no issues scoring 1K minimum and 1300 often. I find the most important thing about PVP is figuring out when to play. Timing is more than 50% of it to be honest.

I was able to climb 500-600 points and even finish top 100 from time to time. Now i'm finishing events without passing 300 points. It's insane. Enemy teams are extremely unbalanced. Unfortunately this guide did not help.

Unfortunately this guide did not help. Sounds like you may have graduated from the beginner brackets. It's a bit of a rough road with quite a few bumps in it...

And remember if the match is worth 65-75 points, losing will only cost a couple of points and some health packs. Last event I beat 3 or 4 to get above 900 then threw whales at a ridiculously strong team to get to 1k. It isn't easy, and it doesn't always come together, but it's what you have to do to get over the hump.

You want to find a lazy shard and you want to join it as late as you possibly can. PvP brackets have 500 people. If you join in the last few hours, there's a chance that a bracket will have just filled up and you will be one of the first few people to join. If that's the case, no only do you fight for placement against people who only have a few hours to climb, but the bracket will end up with 200 or so people. So you only need to be top 25 out of 200 instead of 25 out of 500.
