Early on I was too much of a newb to even check their lineup -- I'd be scared off by the power rating of 40k+. But, before long I had a team w/ Power rating near 30k and would take anything with 1-2 winable fights, which was almost anyone. As soon as I started getting declined myself I was like "hey, that sucks. I'm not doing that anymore." That was probably season 10, my 2nd H2H season. The first two lines of the paragraph above is why I think most people decline, cuz once they see the challenge appears red (Too Strong) they may not even check the lineup for easy wins and automatically hit decline.

As for strong teams that decline it's either it was done by mistake or they're assholes. That doesn't apply to ppl with seasonout names
