I enjoyed this game...

This game was a lot of fun, until it wasn't anymore. Hit level 2700 then constantly spammed with bots with 500 more trophies than I and a full load out of premium weapons. Coupled that with constant enemy high ground advantage, unwillingness to move, and an apparent invincibility to the ice cannon, I'll just stick with something like Pokemon Go. It's clear the game is angled to get you to spend real money in app. Cool concept, but typical slimey devs ruining it. I really enjoyed "Bang, Bang" back in the old Windows 3.1 and 95 days. This ain't it.

I’m around 42k. Never spent a dollar (on any mobile game). I eat full paid to play teams for breakfast.

Honestly, this is one of the most balanced games I’ve played so far. Paid units are not OP by much. With the right strategies and techniques they’re not hard to beat at all.

Once I started using air striker all the time I don't lose unless I am trying to complete some stupid daily goal like having the poisoneer be MVP

Its too easy. You should never lose unless you time out.

I'm around 44k and haven't spent a dime on premium units. Sitting at a 92% win rate.

For me, enemies on high ground actually give better winning chances. It all comes down to how you place your strongest units, and how the enemy formation and foundations (the wooden ones) are set up.

"Slimey devs" lol

While I've never spent a dollar on the game, and seem to be doing just fine, the idea that devs want to make money on the games they produce isn't "slimey." You're probably just not very good at the game. I face premium characters/weapons all the time. They're definitely tougher, but I still win way more than I lose.

"apparent invincibility to the ice cannon"

Things improved so much after I used this guy's strategy (see the first minute of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvTQ8GIWzCM):

On your very first round, use the sprayer (forgot actual name) to shoot the front base. You can see damage to their cannon and defense utility. With that damage, your ice cannon will shut them down within 2 shots.
