balanced competition

Ivw been playing awhile using a tablet and a phone and had generally stayed away from the PvP battles at the begining. But was intrested when the Season 1 event started. The reason I had stayed away was because I was afraid the battles would be to onesided with the higher levels pounding on the lower levels. I figured I'd given season 1 a shot to see what was gonna happen, and at first it was good all the matches were even being about the the same level and I got to about 200 point before I stopped figuring to start again the next day, The next morning I signed in only to find I had lost 25 battles and the same number of points, went looking at those who had beaten me and the were all at least 25 levels higher than my strongest character, How in the world is that balanced, how can anyone enjoy playing that way, I have 2 sets of characters one just beginning what a max of level 30 and the with a max of 85, its only been what 3 days and I'm out I cant compete anymore because the battles are to onesided I'm down to 93 points with no way of gettting back in the fight cause if I skip I lose crystals, tried 5 skips losing 50 and the oopponents were still well over my level, I shouldnt have to max out all my boosts and hope I get lucky
