I play for both, i like the challenge but i'm also trying to get more titiles, I always play vs +1 lvl oppos and i got used to it , i like to play under pressure with good hard battles.
This was my league 2 season ago for example ( won it for 1 point )
Some matches from this season for example
But like i said in a post of a Fb group this doesn't mean that some managers are better cause they play without manipulation, both ways have their obstacles , trolls, etc. Both ways are called harder and easier ( but it doesn't mean that the easier way= easy, you still have to manage the team) so no discriminatio everyone is free to play like he wants since the game allow it.
No i never tanked, i don't consider it a way of playing cause is just a presence. if you want to take a brake is ok , but some managers tank badly conditioning a fair league battle and that's the thing i hate most. If you want to tank do it properly without interfere.
