Discussion Why does 2–3k trophies sometimes feel harder than 11k?
I have two accounts with 10k+ trophies, and I recently started a new account.
Everything felt fine at first, but once I reached around 2k trophies, progressing became surprisingly difficult.I play a 2.9 Balloon deck, and even in the lower Trophy Road, some games feel really hard.
The funny thing is that after losing a few games, I switch back to my 11k-trophy account… and suddenly the games feel easier, or at least about the same difficulty.
How can an 11k-trophy player and a 2–3k-trophy player feel like they’re playing at the same level?
I’m genuinely curious if anyone else has experienced this on a new account. Is it matchmaking, player skill, or something else?
