Foul play with boosters?

500% booster activated=Uptier & lost game guarantee?
It’s me, bad luck, conspiracy?

I’m so paranoid that I activate the boosters after pressing the “to battle” button, never before xDD

It’s bad luck. Otherwise, the moment you activate a booster, the game would have to gather 15 bad players and 16 good players (without boosters) to guarantee your defeat. Consider that the over 150.000 players online are just as real as you and they activate boosters just like you. At the same time the game does not even have skillbased matchmaking. How is this supposed to work?

It’s yet another terrible rumor/urban legend/old wives’ tale that has been bandied about for a very long time. There is no “booster curse”, using a booster does not effect ANYTHING prior to the game’s start, and only enhances either your RP or SL rewards after the game ends . . pretty simple. If you have a 50% winrate(most people do) and manage a 50% arp score and you do not do well using a booster 50% of the time . . . it’s not the game . . . ☻
But you can use boosters wisely too, example . . “I just won 5 games in a row, I should pop a SL Booster!!” . well, odds are . . you are due for a loss, so prolly not the best time to use that . . sabe’?
And it seems like many players get it in their head they are gonna do poorly using a booster, so . . guess what? . . . they do. It’s a “head game”, think positive, do the best you can and remember . . . no matter what the outcome of your battle is, you would have had a smaller score had you not used the booster. Use the best line up you have for whatever you are doing and anything else that might help your booster use out . . .
Good Luck . . (yeah there is luck involved . . roll with it!)

Of course it is rigged. If the pesants profit from Games, they are less likely to spend Money. Post match activation should be the norm for Boosters.

I think people hype themselves up when they activate a big booster and it tanks their performance, so now its just a running joke that you pop a big booster and your going to die quickly lol.

Thanks for the opinions, frustration makes me paranoid. I think the same. It’s the little devil over your shoulder that sows doubt in you when you lose :D
That meme is so funny xD

Just activate them and play like you would normally… que-sera-sera (whatever will be, will be).

Impossible to prove.You might want to get a paper and pen and write down every game with every big booster you play and see the result after 5 years or something and nobody bothers doing that do they?

SL is imaginary money until it is possible to buy SL with GE then it becomes real currency. The question is how many people buy SL with GE? A tiny few or thousands? If its a big number then SL fraud would save Gaijin a big amount of cash as once SL was gone the player comes back and buys more with their credit card.The motive for SL fraud maybe there but I have no way of knowing ,who does outside the game?

Google the length Vegas Casinos have gone to stop the punter winning and decide if you think Gaijin might get up to a few tricks.You wont get an answer to this on here.Its a debate between the naive and the overly cynical.

i agree, there is an algoritm behind that. I have notice the same thing. Gaijin do that and he can do

I guess maybe Gaijin could make you show up more on your enemies mini map and highlight you in the game more.As for BR raises ,I live in a BR where I get BR uptiers very rarely and I notice them as a result.I dont get uptierd by popping a big booster.You would create terrible waiting time issues if that was implemented.
