its strange. I updated app to v.2015 and my skill points got auto assigned. Then i reverted back to older version, but still my points are auto assigned before match. Even if i log in only from pc. One of my friends plays t11 too. I warned him not to install new version and he still runs older one and his points are not auto assigned - never.
I saved points just to see how fast player gains them. If fast - i decided to use player several seasons, if slow - i started new skill and sell it next season.
Now I'm looking for a way to disable this "improvement" too, but i think i cant. So my only way here seems QUIT...
