As your title indicated, unfair match, yes, match is unfair, especially when a player lose the match. But when a player win with significant ahead of score, he/she doesn’t think that’s unfair. He/she thinks that’s because of his/her excellent skill.
The match is fair, as a long time player (2+ years), me, personal view.
1st round, you match a lower flock power opponent, but possibly with excellent skill.
2md round, you match a little bit higher FP than the first one.
and that keep going until round 6 and 7.
round 6 you probably will face a low FP but with spells.
round 7 you would face a plaer (or bot), similar FP as yours, plus lots of spells.
Yes, they are all bots, in my opinion. In arena, there is no real time opponent. You fight with a “past-record” or created record played by either a real player or Rovio.
Those arrangement is based on that score that bot got, not the FP (I guess).
But as a real player like you and me, we might made mistakes during playing, this and that happened all the time. The bot won’t. They are set up a “fixed” score. No kidding, I met same bot in a consecutive streaks, and of course , same score.
So why I focus on your score. Because at your FP, you should score much higher. 12M is really not a good score, there might be lots of mis-choices you made. The bot simply show its final score to you. Sorry to repeat, 12 M is not a good score, even in a lala scenario, considering you bring in your spells.
