So tanking has nothing to do with it: he just made a major investment to get a team as strong as this.
Yes, gizzmo, I see your point. The truth is I have no idea how he has improved his team since the beginning of the season, and I have no ambition to investigate it. What I can easily see is that I am at level 35, he is at level 36, my team was established on 04/2016, his team was established on 07/2015, which leads me to the conclusion that he must have spent at least around 8 seasons tanking, if I am not miscalculating. So tanking belongs to his regular ways of playing TE, that is why I mentioned tanking, but yes, he may definitely have used another way to increase his quality since the season openings from 100% to 180%. I have no idea what way it would be. Of course, he may have spent like 100 000 tokens or something - if that is what has happened, then yes, his quality is definitely fairly earned.

But I do not think this debate should be about tanking. What I wanted was to open a discussion about the draw logic and about situations when you face 70% stronger opponent, which, from my point of view, ruins any positive game experience.

And I still hope to get a word from Nordeus on this...
