Didn't help I forgot to plug in my ipad so it died (thankfully between matches) and after a couple minutes to come back on I had dropped 150. I know my team is not really going to get skipped, but it still seems rediculous how hard it is these days. Almost forgot - a couple times I was somehow matched against people with many 100s pts less than myself and it was worth like 6 or 7 points. I thought it must have been a retaliation that I hadn't gotten the notification for yet, but never got one. It really blew my mind.

Under 700 the attacks were not that often. I was at 600 for more than an hour. When I just climbed over 700, 2mins later I got hit. 700 is the point where you now become 'visible' to the wider audience. You can tell, because if you have a high MMR, you'll see 141 teams up to 700, and then suddenly a wild OBW appears. Good point. Agree, now that You mentioned it.

Sigh, if only you hadn't hit me 0.14 seconds before my second shield supposedly went up at 1101 points, Dark Silence. I admittedly did pay it forward (...retroactively) with qtquazar, though.

Would prefer standard tokens over 2* rewards. Giving out 2* like crazy is going to prove a bad move when everyone can max them all easily and are then faced with the terrible 3* transition even earlier.
