Revenging against a much higher trophy opponent

If Player A successfully revenges against a much higher trophy account, this will result in recovering trophies.

This encourages attacking higher rated opponents to increase your trophies.

Example:

Player R Player A R’s adjustment A’s adjustment attack result
1680 1422 +12 / -49 +49 / -12 original attack loss Player A
1692 1410 +51 / -10 1st revenge loss Player A
1702 1400 +52 / -9 2nd revenge win Player A
1650 1452

Revenging against a much lower trophy opponent

If Player A successfully revenges against a much lower trophy account, this will NOT result in recovering trophies.

This discourages attacking lower rated opponents to increase your trophies.

Example:

Player R Player A R’s adjustment A’s adjustment attack result
1184 1400 +47 / -14 +14 / -47 original attack loss Player A
1231 1353 +20 / -41 1st revenge loss Player A
1272 1312 +27 / -34 2nd revenge win Player A
1245 1339
