OP, I understand your pain. But maybe, just maybe, you’re looking at this the wrong way.
I’ve been playing this game for little over a month but my team is not strong enough to get at gold and stay there. So I decided to have a defense team that’s 1k weaker than my attack team. That means I can actually raid and revenge for ham and iron, instead of having to spend a lot of ham to reroll.
Whenever my team becomes strong enough that I can stay at gold, I’ll get back to earn trophies. For now, I just want to stay at Silver and Raid.
