New PVP: ending play with a weak team

in MPQ General Discussion
Thinking about the new PVP, if you were only going for wins progress, why not end your round with playing a weak team?

Then you would lose a bunch while you're away from PVP, and may move down the ranks and have weaker folks to fight when you return.  

And if a lot of folks did this, then there would be easy teams to beat popping up more often.

I am curious to see what might happen...

    That is called dropcaking. You may have seen the term pass a few times already in the discussions of how to spam 75 wins.

    I thought your defensive team was the strongest team that you had used

    Your defensive team is the last team you won with, with a few caveats.
    - If the last team you won with us much weaker than the one you used before, it won't show. For example a 5/5/4 team can't bake a 4/3/3 or 1/1/1 team anymore, but it can do 5/4/3. There's a tolerance level.
    - The person you beat will always have a red node with the exact team you used to beat them. So if you use a glass Cannon team like winfinite to climb, then put out a strong defensive team, it won't help against all those retaliations.

    There no real reason now not to have unlimited CC.

    There are now multiple avenues to get to 1200 via wins or points.  so why not give weaker rosters a chance to get to 75 wins via CCs?

    Hi,

    There is a winner.  @bk201   

    But thanks to all.  We expanded the DB to almost 200 Teams.  making it a more useful resource...    

    I will contacting the winner to arrange delivery.  In case of no response within a week, I will redraw.  

    Thanks

    Tim
