Negative Rewards

I don't know if there's some reason for this or if it has happened to anyone else. I just selected an opponent, beat them, and lost a point.
Maybe it's some game mechanic I'm not familiar with, but it doesn't make any sense to me.

Edit: The opponent was supposed to be worth more than 30 pts.

    I just a little while ago had a match I won offer a Reward of 0. I attributed it to someone putting up a shield during the match.
  • I've seen the 0 rewards, but never -1. It shouldn't be due to the opponent shielding; when you hit a shielded opponent, you still gain points, they just don't lose them.

    When you came back to the main screen, did you get a message about someone attacking you? I think whenever I've seen the 0 point rewards screen, either the 0 was incorrect (I actually got the points and my total was updated, it just didn't display on that screen), or it was correct because I got hit for the same amount as I gained.

    Still a confusing screen, for sure, but I've never had it happen that I won a match, didn't lose a match in the meantime, and still got 0 points.
  • I definitely lost a point, so the screen was correct.
    There's a good chance that I was attacked while I was fighting, but it usually says "You won x points" and immediately after say "You were attacked and lost y points".
    I'm not sure if I was attacked at the same time or not, because I left that screen up while I tried to figure out how to take a screenshot in game.
  • That's almost insulting....-1? Does that you mean gave someone points?
  • My theory is that you were attacked when you were beating that guy and the guy(s) who beat you or lost to you were calculated simultaneously giving you -1 point in total.
