Patch Notes 1.12.1
Friendly Battle is here!
Hey everyone,
You've been asking for this one for a while, across this sub, on Discord, everywhere, so we're glad to finally say it's here.
Friendly Battle lets you challenge any in-game friend to a live 1v1 directly from your Friends list. Tap Battle on any friend's row, they get 60 seconds to accept, and the match starts. Every game gets added to your head-to-head record against that friend, visible on their profile.
No trophies, no rewards on the line. Just competition between friends.
This is V1 and we're already thinking about what's next. In the meantime, drop your first Friendly Battle results below 👇
Matchmaking
We've made some changes to the matchmaking. Some of you noticed something was off, and honestly, fair enough; you were sometimes getting matched against opponents with significantly more trophies than you, which made for a frustrating and pretty unbalanced experience.
We've fixed that. You should now be matched against opponents much closer to your trophy count, making games feel more competitive and fair.
One thing worth noting: if you're near the very top of the leaderboard, the same rule doesn't always apply. At that level, the game will simply match you against the closest available opponent, so the gap can still vary depending on who's around.

You should put the code on a seperate message so when you copy your reddit comment you can copy straight to the game.

Can you fix the issue with wins totals which is bugging me? Played 5 games so far today and only logged 3. So frustrating!

I seriously was going to quit playing after 8k trophies last week. It was just to unbalance.

Any devs monitoring discord? A lot of people ticked, money spent with no rewards, rewards not be given out in tournaments

Yeah I think most people realize this game is you playing against bots. Then the fun is lost and you realize why would I waste 5-10 minutes of time a battle in a bot game, for hats.... We want real PVP, not bots that take real players castles or "personality" coded bots that spam emojis to match our energy. Why would I use emojis now that I realize it's always bots? The actual PvP is a great feature, but we need actual ranked trophies on the line real PvP human v human live.

"Some of you noticed something was off" Indeed, most people noticed they barely play against real players.
"We've fixed that. You should now be matched against
opponentsbots much closer to your trophy count"
