PvP just sucks now. Thanks d3p

Once upon a time pvp was legit. I fought varying teams of 85s to 100 or so with the occasional undefeatable nodes. Now its 141/141/212. I spent 2k iso skipping battles during star fall. Now no matter how many skips its maxed teams across the board. I have a lvl 100 char... I can't even compete. Im bracketed with people who see me as a sheep. They get a break from hard battles and see me clocking in barely lvl 100 and I get crushed for 50pts after battling lvl 120+ for a meager 17pts and its like that until I have no heals which is really fast. I'm not buying heals to lose and gain no rewards to fight battles I can't win. I'm not spending money to raise my characters when I should be fighting people on my competitive level. This game is becoming nonsense. Can I get email notification for when the game is fair, worthy of my time, fun, not a waste of my money? I'd really appreciate that.

I know your problem, and that is a trul annoying aspect f the game. The only thing you can do is intentionally lose a few matches, it temporarily helps.
I very much agree, it shouldn't be like that. A successful player shouldn't be punished. A player shouldn't be forced to lose on purpose to be rewarded.

It's been terrible for a while and d3 doesn't seem to want to do anything to fix it. They focus exclusively on short-term benefits to the exclusion of long-term game health and if that means every PVP has to be the same unbelievably boring format, with added tedium and frustration, then so be it.

I lose plenty of matches while getting my behind handed to me if I look away for a second without a shield... Besides I'm not losing to gain temporary relief. Losing sucks. I'm not paying to lose...

I find myself in much the same boat, every matchup I get puts me up against a 212/144/144 team and even if I do manage to punch through it, I end up so weakened I have to prolouge heal to get back up, and even then I still end up losing half the points I got from someone retaliating me. It's gotten to the point where I've decided I just can't do pvp anymore and am going to have to focus on PvE. I don't want to do that, but it is what it is, and if I am not deriving enjoyment from PVP I'm not going to keep forcing myself to do it.

Of course probally soon enough I will get into a similar situation in PvE, at which point I will probally just be done.

One thing I have started doing the has lessened the problem, but not eliminated it, is that I try to only take fights against team that are ahead of me on score. I generally pass on anything that is less than 30 points. It means less battles and it means your winning percentage goes up slower to achieve the same results on the leaderboard. It also means a much smaller chance that the person you attacked will retaliate since they are actually losing points when they do if they are still ahead of you.
