The point of the game is to try and beat the best fighters. Like in real life. That's why there is defence tough perks. So people have to work hard to beat you. Not to let everyone advance in the game. It's not a fu king charity game. I tho k a lot of players have lost sight in this subject. I'm not trying to let you win. If you beat me then you deserve the maximum point in the challenge if not you still get points. Answering the challenge is charity enough beating those maxed guys when your guy us lv l 50 is the satisfaction  and why i play h2h. Earn your fighters. Don't look for handouts and charity If this game, more specifically H2H, operated under ideal conditions (if the matchmaking system almost always matched us up with active players with power ratings similar to ours), then this argument would work and make the game much more enjoyable. However, this game is far from ideal. When we search for new fights, the majority of the time, we get 4 players to choose from, which almost always turn out to be defaults/bots that a) have not changed their names from the generic "(ufc fighter first or last name) + (random number)" format and b) have teams whose power ratings are usually 10,000 points and under, well below that of ours'. If not that, we usually get matched up with active fighters, but those active fighters are usually beginners to intermediates who don't have teams that are as strong as ours. And what happens when we do get matched up with them and start an H2H fight, is that they see our team power rating and get intimidated by the large difference with their team's power rating (our team usually being the stronger team) and feel compelled to decline. That, or they see that neither one of their fighters is anywhere near at the levels at which any one of our fighters is at.

Point being, since this game doesn't match up H2H players according to level or whether they're active or not, we must play strategically to maximize the amount of points we get for every 3 energy we spend since it takes 30 minutes to be able to regenerate enough energy to fight just 1 fight (5 hours to completely refill our energy meters in total) while we also worry about whether or not we are able to finish this season in the time frame given (the bug that plagued us all this season cost us about 7 or 8 days of H2H, so time really is not on our side). So yeah, I know that people will try to work around this by using the free shuffle option when they have 0 energy, but that is usually not enough.
